    List of Ingredients




    Here are some lunch ideas:

    + Prepackage things like chips, pretzels, etc. into sandwich bags
    at the beginning of the week.
    Keep them in a big container/basket and just throw them in the lunch box in themorning.

    + I am definitely NOT a morning person either and always make the
    lunches the night before and just toss everything in the lunchbox
    in the morning.
    I actually put all the stuff that doesn't need to be refrigerated in a pile, along with a napkin or 2 and any utensils needed.
    I also do not buy juiceboxes unless I can get them almost free.
    I use the Rubbermaid juicebox container, pour some juice in it(about 1/4 of the container) and then put it in the freezer.
    In the morning, I fill the rest of the way with juice.
    It will be thawed by lunchtime, but help keep the lunch cold.
    I also keep a few of the blue freezer things in the freezer (you know, the things that keep the lunch cold!).

    + Homemade lunchables (cut up cheese, ham or any lunch meat, crackers)

    + Little pizza lunchables (I toasted bread and cut out in little circles).
    Have a small container of pizza sauce and mozzarella.

    + Homemade muffin and a container of yogurt

    + Get a Thermos that will hold hot food.
    You could send soup, stew, etc.
    I'll be sending chicken noodle soup with a hot dog in it.
    I'll have a bun and a pack of ketchup in her lunchbox.
    Just make sure that you "preheat" the Thermos by putting boiling water
    in it for a little bit before you put in the heated soup.
    This will ensure that the food stays piping hot for lunch.

    + Tuna salad with crackers (or chicken salad);
    Big biscuit with ham and cheese;
    Bagel and cream cheese;
    Bagel with lunchmeat and cheese;
    Bugs on a log (peanut butter spread on a celery stick with raisins on top); Roll-up sandwiches;
    Pasta salad;
    BLT sandwich;
    Mini pizzas;
    Homemade Hot Pockets

    + You could make up jello and pudding and put in small plastic containers for the week.
    You could also do a huge session of cookies and then put them in sandwich bags to be pulled out when needed.
