Packed lunch

[Teacher12345]

I am thinking about packed lunches and wondered if anyone has any other ideas I can add to keep things from being boring for DS. I had jam/ham sandwiches for 5 years so am keen to give variety!

Ideas include pinwheels, ham on a roll/bagel, pancakes plus fruit, salad sticks, bread sticks.

What else can I do?

Mine like 'deconstructed sandwiches'... They just take stuff like meat/cheese, vegetables, and a bread product and build it themselves. Or eat it seperately. I'm not entirely sure but they don't like built sandwiches. The 'bread' bit varies between crackers, wraps, sandwich thins, pasta sometimes as well. Meat/cheese can be ham, sausage, chicken, beef, a cheese portion, or a slice of cheese (or a mixture).

I like that idea!

Fritata
Boiled eggs (prep and slice the night before to reduce smell!)
Falafel in pitas
Pita, crudités and hummus
Cheese and crackers
Popcorn
Tuna pasta salad
Cous cous with chopped peppers and chicken
Cold pizza slices
Mini chicken skewers

Savoury flapjacks www.riverford.co.uk/recipes/carrot-flapjack
Or another version without the faff of the carrot and you can omit the leek www.juniormagazine.co.uk/lifestyle/leek-and-cheese-seeded-flapjacks-for-the-whole-family/
Frittata slice www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/quiche-lorraine-frittata
Tuna pasta salad
Sausage pasta salad
Homemade sausage roll
Cheese and marmite scone

So far our ideas for the main part of lunch are:

Pizza slices
Paninis
‘Melted wraps’ - essentially ham/pepperoni and cheese wraps baked in the oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
Homemade lunchable - meat, cheese and crackers
Pasta
Roll ups
Sandwiches

Thanks ladies.
