[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have the same basic ingredients every day, which helps because they pack the "sides" and I pack the "main."

Every day is:
Some sort of granola, granola balls, or trail mix
A piece of fruit
Sliced vegetables
A sandwich or leftovers in a heated thermos

Once I got used to the idea of just having a "uniform" lunch where some days the vegetable is carrots and some days it is bell peppers, and some days the fruit is an orange and some days it is blueberries, it got easier to deal with figuring out a main every day.

Oh, and my kids LOVE bao buns in a heated thermos. That's a winner every time. [/quote]

Do the non-soupy meals stay warm in your thermos? I sent some pasta with a little bit of sauce in a thermos that I had preheated with boiling water and it was apparently cold by the time my kid had lunch. [/quote]

spaghetti is not a good one to include because the noodles soak up the sauce.  i would just do leftovers.  Also, if they will eat yogurt and cheese sticks with some other snacks like carrots, chips and grapes.  I also find a variety helps.  [/quote]
