Any good ideas besides turkey sandwiches and yogurt to pack for lunch? I am going to school and working and need ideas so my lunch isn't boring, and i don't go to the cafeteria everyday...

Answer 1

Make a cheese quasidilla.

Answer 2

What We Put in Bentos (a short list)

"Faux Sushi" - trim the crusts off bread and roll flat with a rolling pin, spread with cream cheese, sliced turkey or ham, and some cheese, roll up and cut into rounds

Shaped Sandwiches - cut with cookie cutters, rolling the bread flat helps as well

Stuffed Muffins - use corn muffin mix as a base, mix according to the package, then add in diced turkey & veggies or diced ham & shredded cheese, etc, bake according to the package directions

Tuna salad - I use the scoopable Tostada chips as a holder and top with a cheese flower

Chef Salads with ranch - lettuce, cucumber, carrot, shredded turkey, cheese, chopped boiled egg

Boiled eggs

Fruit kebabs - melons, grapes & strawberries work well for this

Cheese & crackers - cut into shapes with cookie cutters

Pasta salad - sometimes with extra meat & cheese added for protein

For treats: yogurt jellies, panda or koala cookies, marshmallow jams, mini chocolate bars, Goldfish pretzels

For hot lunches: steamed pork dumplings, meatballs (sweet & sour are a favorite here), steamed rice usually pressed into shapes

~ tortilla wraps

~ pita bread filled with - anything, use your imagination
