[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could be many different things but I would start with trying a broader array of home lunch options. Below are ones we do regularly. We are vegetarian and my kids are tired of sandwiches. Deconstructed pizza- naan dippers, tomatoe sauce, shredded cheese and possible toppings if she wants them. Fruit. Yogurt with berries, dried fruit and granola. Tomatoes and cheese on skewers. Fruit and vegetable (usually cucumber or peppers. Some saltine crackers possibly. Deconstructed nachos (tortilla chips, cheese, beans, salsa, guacamole) fruit. Hard boiled eggs, laughing cow cheese, saltines, vegetable fruit Homemade sushi, edamame, fruit Pancakes or waffles, syrup, fruit, hard boiled egg. Potstickers, edamame, fruit. Egg salad, fruit, vegetable. Leftovers, fruit Homemade vegetable spring rolls stuffed with vegetables and tofu. Fruit and edamame. [/quote] OP mentioned her child is a picky eater. Mine is too. The only thing on your list my kid would is is yogurt but without the fruit mixed in. He would eat the fruit separate but his tastes in fruit are very limited. He is now a senior and has never eaten school lunch K-12. I have tried it ALL. He is very unwilling to try new foods. In elementary school and part of middle school it was PB&J, but he grew out of that. For the past couple of years he has only eaten granola bars, fruit snacks and had a smoothie for most of his day and occasionally would buy popcorn or some other snack from the cafeteria.. He never eats leftovers. Ever. Thankfully he has a short day now as a senior so he can cook something to eat when he gets out of school. Usually it's a chicken breast or wings. Oh, and he's an athlete. [/quote]
