Washing Up
I found this list of helpful hints in getting your kids to eat the packed sandwiches you fix for them. My daughter loved them.
1) Stuff regular or whole wheat pita bread with tomatoe, favorite cheese (usually at this age American) and strips of crispy bacon. Fruit dessert.
2) Use oatmeal bread with muenster cheese and low sugar jam. Serve with milk and a bannana.
3) Heat chilli and pour into a wide mouth thermos. Send along a wedge of corn bread and strips of American cheese. Add jello & fruit.
4) Make trail mix of popcorn, bite sized wheat, corn or rice cereal, nuts and dried fruit. Accompanh with fresh fruit and milk.
5) Whip uo a quick salad dressing of mayonnaise and hamburger relish. Toss with leftover cooked macaroni,diced ham and American cheese. Pack in a plastic container (do not forget the fork or spoon, I did)
6) Heat canned baked beans with slices of hot dogs and spoon into wide mouth thermos. Add a couple of bread sticksl and an apple that has been cut into eighths, cored and reshaped and wrapped tightly in plastic.
7) New club: stuff sliced ham, turkey breast, crisp bacon, lettuce and tomatoe into pita.
8) Add toasted sesame seeds and carrot chunks to tuna salad.
9) This was a hit with my daughter because she did not like the texture of egg salad. Scramble eggs with their favorite chese and chopped green chillis (the ones they like). Let cool and put on a roll or bread.
10) Lightly spread chewy granola bars with whipped cream cheese seasoned with fruit juice (not too much so it gets too thin).
11) Heat canned beef tamales in chili sauce or just plain chili and put in wide mouth thermos and corn chipc or fritos to dip with.
12) Stir honey and cinnamon into plain yogurt. Pack with some granola for a crunchy topping and a slice of date bread.
My daughter thought her lunches were a little special because everyone else had PB&J which she would not eat, PB only, or tuna salad.
