So from September, both my kids will be in full day school. For the older one, lunches have inculded a fruit, a yogurt, a small juice box, some almonds/raisins and either a cheese sandwich or a mini burger, or a nachos and cheese lunchable, or a hot dog, or grilled chicken leg with bread on the side, or chicken noodle soup in a small soup flask, or noodles.
Now she is fed up of the main entree, and madam choti has asked me to pack her roti and salan from September…which is doable but will probably end up being a sloppy affair. She loves desi style foods that are hot in temperature. Anyway, she will get used to other stuff, so please give me some nutritious and creative ideas.
All good mothers wake up at 5 am :) (no I'm kidding. I think they prepare this stuff before hand? like...hot dog octopus...you can just boil the stuff the night before cut it, put it in the fridge and just arrange it?)
Omg I saw a website for peanut butter jelly sammich bears. I don't know where though :(
some of my students who bring lunch have following things in various combos...cut fruit, yogurt pipe thingy, pizza slice, rice, sandwich, or soup, steamed vegetables, juice or milk, some times little chips or cheetos in a ziplog bag, cheese bar. Ofcource everything is in small quantities and they do enjoy their lunch bags.
I had an indian girl who would bring roti salan, her salan was dry salan not shorbay wala.
Oh and my kids are 5-6 yr old, have no issues with any of the above mentioned choices.
