School lunch ideas
I have been going through about 100 websites with school lunch ideas. My problem: VERY PICKY KIDS. No funky flavors or combinations which basically eliminates all the recipes I found. Lunch for Michael during football season is watching films of the upcoming opponent's past games. He has to take a lunch from home on those days. Jess and Chrish just get to copy those days to make Mom's life easier. I attempted to have the kids try a chicken/pasta salad that I LOVE but they hated it. Here are their favs:
PB and J (of course),
Chili,
Progresso soups,
Turkey wrap,
Home-made lunchables.
Boring huh! I have found a couple of recipes that maybe they will like but I definitely have to try them out beforehand. One is called Cheesy Chili 'N Rice Skillet and Sante Fe Chicken Salad Wrap which can also be substituted with steak (I found both on kraftrecipes.com). Basically the same as what I already make. I would love some other ideas!!!! Please share!

Sorry, no can help here. I too am a member of the picky kids club. Last year, Colin took the same lunch to school for a year straight! I'm too embarrassed to say what it was cuz it was not too healthy. I'm to the point where if he'll eat it, I'll send it.
No kidding. I will share if I find any others besides what I already listed. Thanks so much for commenting!
