I hate lunch. I hate that it is in the middle of the day. I hate that it interferes with business. I hate that it requires clean up. I simply hate it. You'd think with two kids in school this month, that lunch wouldn't be an issue for me, but it is, maybe even more so. I hate what they are fed there, but I can't get it together well enough to prepare packed lunches for them that are any healthier, and certainly not less expensive (what could I feed a kid that costs less than $1.40-$2.00?) OK, pbj an apple and carrot sticks would, but they'd not eat the carrot sticks, only eat part of the apple, and rip the crusts (and therefore half the bread) off the sandwich...
That said school will be out in 14 week days.
And then summer will be here.
And then I'll have to do lunch for all of them, daily, with a new schedule.
What are your tricks for lunch?

Leftovers! Just cook extra for dinner and freeze in small portions. My other idea that I never do is...soup. Crock pot in the AM with leftover meat from night before (tall one says you ALWAYS have chicken in the fridge. Add some rice/pasta, bag-o-veggies, crusty bread...badda bing! Ya gots lunch.
yeh, I usually do always have chicken in the freezer. I buy multiple bags of it when it is bogo.
