School Lunch Recipes? ?

Question

My school district is one of the best in the state I live in, but there food leaves much to be desired. This year, I've decided to pack my own lunch, but I'm running out of ideas of what I should pack. I'm a little tired of PB and J, and a turkey and cheese sandwich every day. Please, does anyone have any ideas? Please include a few recipes if you can!

Answer 2

Cafeteria−Style Mac and Cheese;

1/2 pound elbow macaroni

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 teaspoons powdered mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon salt

Few drops of hot pepper sauce

3 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese

(about 3/4 pound)

1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a shallow 2−quart baking dish.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the macaroni until tender but still firm, about 8 minutes.

Drain well.

Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over moderate heat. Remove from

the heat and stir in the powdered mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and hot pepper sauce. Set the

seasoned milk aside.

Transfer the macaroni to a medium bowl. Add 11/2 tablespoons of the butter and the egg and mix well.

Stir in 3 cups of the Cheddar cheese. Spread the macaroni evenly in the buttered baking dish. Pour the

seasoned milk over the macaroni and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup grated cheese.

In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat. Stir in the bread

crumbs until well−coated. Scatter the buttered crumbs evenly over the macaroni and sprinkle with the

paprika.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the macaroni is bubbling and lightly colored. Transfer to the broiler and

broil about 6 inches from the heat until the bread crumbs are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

Serves 8.

Answer 6

Try having a bagel with cream cheese or whatever spread you like, or make any kind of Chef Boyardee like the mini ravioli, and put it in a thermos. I also like to make wraps instead of regular sandwiches. You can be really creative with them and put all sorts of ingredients in. For my wraps I use the whole-wheat tortillas.
