| My kids love chicken tenders and Mac and cheese. With a couple of snacks thrown in, celery, fruit, maybe fruit snacks or cookies. |

| I make different mini muffins each Sunday -- pumpkin, apple, banana, etc. -- and pack those with some fruit and multigrain chips. I'm desperate for new ideas though. Mine rarely eat much lunch regardless of what is packed. |

| Grilled or broiled chicken and a small container of blue cheese, ranch, or mustard for dipping. Applesauce, cheese stick, crackers. I make a lot of chicken on Sunday and we eat it for lunches through the week. Sometimes I throw it in a crockpot. |

Tortilla with refried beans and shredded cheese, folded in half like a taco and cut in half to make two wedges that fit in a sandwich box
tortellini with pasta sauce tuna fish in sandwich or in a container with a fork (for a while they would just eat the tuna and leave the bread, so I stopped making the actual sandwich) meatball |

Peanut butter cups with pretzels and apples for dipping
Hot dogs Banana pinwheels - spread PB on whole wheat tortilla, put whole banana on top, roll up and cut into slices Lunch meat and cheese roll ups, cut up on and skewered on lollipop sticks French toast sticks Cinnamon bread or bagels with cream cheese Frozen yogurt sticks Lots of fruit I include a veggie, but unless it's carrots it's completely ignored I wish my kids would eat leftovers |

Is this thread a joke? Your kids eat better than I do. Brooke chicken with blue cheese dip?
PB&Honey on whole wheat. Skinny pop/Booty, blueberries/strawberries/apples and baby carrots. Maybe a fig bar if I'm feeling fancy. |
