What's for Lunch!?

Food network.com. Oodles of ideas for kids. Check it out.

I knwo what you mean my daughter ate pbj for three months straight for lunch, her choice not mine but i was tired of looking at it. She is only 22 months old but she eats a salad with veggies on it and dressing, or we make baked potatoes in the microwave or use leftover ones from the night before. I also do a lot of noodles for her. Lipton has a bunch of flavors like chicken, stroganoff, and asian flavors.

My kids love wraps. The favorite is a slice of turkey,a mozerella cheese stick rolled in a small tortilla. But we also do refried beans and cheese,grilled chicken strips and rice or almost any leftovers rolled in a tortilla or lettuce. Kids love them best if you let them "dip" the wraps. So we often have a small bowl or lid wih salsa, sour cream, ranch dressing, or something like that. And an added Bonus---even small children (my 2 1/2 year old) can help make wraps!

Make individual meatloaf servings in a muffin tin so the pieces are easy to pack in a plastic box. I send it with cous-cous and diced cooked carrots.

My son is 2yrs old and he likes everything (almost)
We have cold tuna pasta salad. I get the tri-colored ones that are made of tomato and spinach and add a little bit of mayo and honey mustard. (can also be done with chicken chunks)

We've also had chicken fingers. I just lightly bread them and throw them in the toaster oven with some ketchup and zuchini fries.

Or how about a chicken salad. My son will actually eat a salad (lol) I just use the fancy cuts for the carrots and slice the tomatoes in square chunks instead of slices, some red bell peppers (yummy).

Ok, Im getting hungry now, lol.

Best wishes,

Another thing I did for ideas is copied the menue from school lunch, that gave me ideas on what to make.

I also purchased a kids cook book from Betty Crocker Kids cookbooks (I hope this comes up for you) http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.a...

I loved the cook book because my son is a picky eater, but when he saw the kids cook book, he wanted to try everything, (Because its special for kids!)

we call these banana burritos

you warm up a tortilla , spread a little peanut butter on it
put sliced banans and sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon,
then roll them up like a burrito,
very tasty and your kids can help make them so its fun for them too.

good luck

I love using Kraft's website: www.kraftfoods.com
I use them almost everyday.
