[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I often read on DCUM about the complicated lunches people prepare. Honestly, I think simplicity is the way to go, at least until your kids show you it doesn't work.

We never started heating lunches, or serving complicated foods.  [b]My kids got the same things over and over, and they were fine with it because they didn't know better.

A sandwich, some fruit, a simple vegetable, something dairy (cheese stick or yogurt or a milk juice box) and a treat. That list got my kids from the beginning of preschool through the end of elementary.  [/quote]

The kids know better the second they go to school and see other kids with food that's not a boring sandwich. I had never even heard of dolmas or papayas before I started making lunches. [/quote]

I am the PP you quoted.  My kids knew what dolmas were because we ate them for dinner sometimes, they didn’t know that dolmas were supposed to be better than a turkey sandwich, or sun butter and jelly.  Papaya is fruit, and we always included fruit.
