It’s finally time for your little one to head back to school, and you’re out of ideas on what to pack for lunch. Try out one of these simple and delicious meals in your own kitchen. Your child will happily devour these homemade food during lunchtime.
Grilled Chicken, Cabbage and Corn Stuffed Tortilla Wraps
Using leftover chicken is a great way to speed up the lunch-making process in the morning, especially in these tasty cabbage and corn stuffed wraps.
Kid-Friendly Pasta
Switch up the typical bread-and-meat lunch for this colourful pasta salad. Simply send the dressing and pasta in separate containers and it’s ready to be devoured when the lunchtime bell goes off.
Broccoli Frittata
This frittata doubles as weeknight dinner and to-go meal for your child’s lunch.
Strawberry Pasta Salad
Bow tie pasta with strawberries makes a refreshing salad, especially with a little chopped mint. I multiply it for brunches, potlucks, even tailgates.
Avocado Egg Salad Toast
After purchasing far too many unripe avocados for an event, I had a surplus of ripe ones each day in my kitchen for a week after! I was making some egg salad sandwiches for lunch on one of these avocado surplus days, and had the great idea to use avocado to bind it together instead of traditional mayo. Not only was this version unbelievably delicious, the healthy fats in the avocado make this a much better option that the traditional mayo-laden version.
PBJ on a Stick
I always try to come up with new ways to serve lunch to my kids. This recipe was a hit!
Thai Chicken Pasta Salad
I combined several recipes to come up with my healthier twist on traditional pad thai. My version has only one-third the sodium of frozen versions you find in the store.
Lunch Box Pizzas
When you have these fun-to-make mini pizzas, it’s no challenge finding lunch fare that the kids enjoy. Plus they pack nicely in sandwich bags and travel well, so there’s no mess.
