Peanut Butter and marshmallow fluff (fluffernutters) is a huge hit in our house!
love all the sandwich ideas! I invested in a good thermos and send in leftovers quite often. Pasta, stew, chicken pie, even waffles and sausages are just some of the yummies my son enjoyed.
Oh yum!!! I totally need to make a meatloaf now so I can have a leftover meatloaf sandwitch!
Very good Ideas! I'm always at a loss for different ideas!
My kids have often taken cold grilled cheese. They love it!!
Good list! I have one starting kindergarten, she will be taking her lunch and I am worried about what to pack. This list gave me some sandwich ideas I hadn't thought of before.
The one thing I hate about back-to-school is trying to figure out what to put in those lunchboxes. Thanks for the list!
I love lunch ideas, so far for myself b/c Sweetpea is too young for school yet. We love pb with honey and banana too! Also with leftover meatballs from spaghetti and meatballs we make some great meatball subs!
Take care,
Steph
What a great list! Myself, I am a huge fan of peanut butter -- especially pb, honey and banana sandwiches. We often have this for breakfast. It's fast and filling. I use any meat left-over for sandwiches... this includes any kind of chicken, London broil, etc... Christopher also likes sliced egg sandwiches as well as egg salad. We change the bread around all the time too. We use sourdough, whole wheat, rye, pumpernickel, etc... Ok, I am hungry now and off to get some breakfast!
