[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work on streamlining that "Craziest part of the day" by reducing things you need to do at that time.

My favorite lunch tip is to make a big loaf or two of sandwiches on the weekends all at one time.   Put each sandwich in its own ziploc bag then put all the sandwiches back into the bread loaf wrapper (squeeze out as much air as possible) and freeze it.

Each morning pull out the sandwich you want and it will thaw in the lunch box.

This works with cold cuts and cheese sandwiches (no condiments or lettuce) and with nut or seed butter and jelly sandwiches as well.   Just spread the nut butter or seed butter on both sides of bread and put the jelly in between (jelly doesn't touch the bread) and then freeze.

I can make about 18 ham/turkey/cheese sandwiches in 5 minutes (including cleanup)  on Sunday night (or my kids can) and bag them and freeze them.  That's 2 loaves of bread and maybe a pound of each cold cut.

Then bag up some carrot slices, dip etc ahead of time and find some other fruit or snacks you like and get them ready as well so each lunch is prepared for all 5 days of the week for each kid.   [/quote]

Umm, freezing the sandwiches probably makes them taste gross.[/quote]
