Can we do lunch ideas again?

[PamE]

Or can somebody find me a link to ones we've done in the past? :lol: I couldn't find anything, but wasn't too clear-headed while searching.

I am in such a lunch rut and am tired of the sighs, half-hearted "okay"s and out right groans I get when I announce what's for lunch each day. :rolleyes:

We do the usual of sandwiches of all kinds, chicken wraps, hot dogs, mac and cheese, etc., but I'm needing some new stuff. Dd1 is the only one of the kids who will eat soup (other than chili). Cooking is not #1 on my list of fun stuff to do, so anything easy is great. I'll save the time-takers for dinners.

Help! :)

Pizza pockets, bagels, bagel bites. Little bits of everything is what ds1 likes. Sliced pepperoni, crackers, veggies/dip, pickles, cheese then he can pick what he likes each day. He takes a ceasar salad in a salad blaster which is great. I hear ya on the groans and sighs. I find the last part of the school year impossible to please them.

Cheese and Wiener Burritos

Ingredients:
8 flour tortillas
8 hot dogs/meat wieners
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Great ideas, Diane. Ds2 loves hotdogs so I am going to try some of those.
I do freeze pancakes when I make them and then just take out as needed. Haven't in a while, thanks for the reminder.

Sometimes I do plain cheese tortillas for dks. Just use 2 flour shells, sprinkle cheese btwn them and either micro them briefly on a plate or warm them on the stove until the shells are lightly browned and cheese is melted. My dks dip them in salsa and love 'em.
