[quote=Anonymous][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]

Plenty of kids like sandwiches and would rather have a PB&J or turkey and cheese over dolmas. Pack sandwiches and switch it up to warmed leftovers in a thermos from previous night’s dinner.  If you find something your kid likes that is easy to pack, by all means send that in sometimes too. This is perfectly fine for 99% of kids. Don’t overthink lunch. [/quote]

My kid just wanted to buy lunch on pizza and grilled cheese days, hard.  But things from other kids packed lunches, not so much.  [/quote]
