Packing Lunch Recipes?
Speaking of food, Sharon is looking for ideas (scroll down to the 8-22 entry) for lunches to send to school with the kids. Which is really the same thing as looking for variety in bag lunches to pack for anyone.
One problem is that the old standby, peanut butter, is verboten because other kids might be allergic. Well, they’re requesting rather than demanding, but some schools do insist. Another is plain old sandwiches get boring. Cold cuts all the time gets expensive, too, and the idea of bringing lunch most of the time is to save money.
I suggested almond or cashew butter as a more costly surrogate for peanut butter, but beyond that I was at a loss.
Feel free to comment here or at Sharon’s with your “lunch box recipes.” She’ll see them either way.
