Back to school (and Work) Lunches
Charctuerie Box for lunch
We’re back to school and it means we are packing lunches again. If you need some younger kids’ inspo, check out this post from a few years ago. With two teenagers, both of whom, are athletes, we go through A LOT of food each week. My kids will take anything from salads to the occasional sandwich. They still love a “lunchable” it just has a lot more bulk to it than before. Is everything 100% “healthy”? Nope. My kids will spend my money on hot Cheetos every day whether I like it or not so I’d rather pay less and give it to them. It’s a balance. They eat pretty well but the chip battle is not a fight I’m willing to take on right now. Do I wish they skipped it, of course, but they eat tons of fresh fruits and veggies. They’re fine.
If you haven’t purchased my e-book, Family Meal. It’s packed with options for lunches and leftovers for lunch. Grab it here!
In addition to the below, there are more options on the blog. A few other ideas that aren’t published on the blog but are on Instagram:
Protein Box- as seen above. Deli meats, salami, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, crackers, and fruit
Veggie Sushi- it’s SO easy to make and fun to eat!
Tuna Crunch Wrap or Tuna Sandwich- the crunch wrap is money. Or put the tuna on lettuce!
Tofu Fresh Rolls-I make this often at home for myself, really just for the sauce
Here’s a roundup of a few recipes on the blog. More coming soon!
Salad
Cobb Salad (minus the martini)
Not Salad
Pizza Rolls - batch cook these then pop them in the freezer!
Beef & Cheese Burritos - batch cook these then pop them in the freezer!
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs- batch cook these then pop them in the freezer!
