I need your help

[sunshine]

Deana and I have been discussing lunches-- here is what she typically
packs to take to school/work. She's getting bored. I need some new
inspiriation, to keep her eating healthy, yet not buy lunches everyday
at school. TIA.

bread sticks with pizza sauce, banana, milk

peanut butter stuffed celery, crackers, juice

thin sliced ham/cream cheese on a tortilla rolled up, orange slices, milk

chef salad, crackers, homemade cookies

hard boiled eggs, cheese cubes, grapes

hot dog in thermos, chips, apple

spaghetti in thermos, buttered bread, fruit cocktail

cottage cheese, apple, snack cake

pita stuffed with tuna salad, carrot sticks, pear


She does not have access to a fridge or microwave.

How about some veggie soup in the thermos
Veg. Chili in thermos
Turkey roll ups with a cube of Laughing cow swiss cheese (35 cals in the cheese)?
Pitas with tofu,veggies & bean sprouts

I'll think of more I'm sure

I love Armenian cracker bread, or lavash. We also call it mountain bread here. It is square and flat and goes great with tuna (with chili flavouring) mixed into Phil cream cheese and spread over the bread, and maybe some baby spinach leaves, or paprika or a small amount of cheddar or sharp cheese.

Bread sticks, pizza sauce and salami?

1/2 a bagel sandwich?
use 1/2 a everything bagel (or your choice)
Turkey (or your choice meat)
FF Cheese
Baby spinich leaves
Tomato (optional)
Cranberry mustard (or your choice)

Assemble the sandwich and viola... bagel sandwich

Here's a few ideas to play with...

pickles
I'm a bread freak, what other kinds of breads can you find?
string cheese? There are a lot of cheese varietis available
check the produce section for something different (that's what I do when I get in a snack rut)
chips and cheese or bean dip
peanut butter crackers
have you tried cheese on your cottage cheese?
what about those cheese stuffed wirners in a croissant?
leftover pizza?

I dunno, just trying to help.
