[quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to a no-nut, no-sesame seed, no egg school due to the various allergies in her class. 
Yeah. Try that! LOL. So meat is allowed, but we are lacto-ovo vegetarians, and my older kid HATES cheese (not sure why, she is otherwise not picky) so it can be a little tough to figure it out.
But I have 5 lunches, and I just rotate through them.
- black beans & brown rice burrito
- tahini-free hummus & pita 
- lentil soup w/sour dough bread
- chickpea burgers 
- pasta with sauce - we use the 'Explore Asia Mung Bean Edamame Fettucine' that is available at whole foods. We are not WF people at all but its the one thing I go there for. This pasta has 3 ingredients (mung bean, edamame, water) and has a crazy amount of protein. Just a little goes a long way and as long as I cover it up with some nice tasting sauce, she doesn't care.

THen we add a fruit and a vegetable (usually from dinner the night before). That's it.

Husband and I and kids all make pasta sauce, black beans, hummus, lentil soup, and chickpea burgers all in one go (as in one Sunday afternoon a month), and freeze it in tiny portions. Its not that bad because we all do it together and I literally do not have to stress about for a whole other month....and we use a pressure cooker so that makes it all go pretty fast.
