[quote=Anonymous]I have the same thing.  The biggest thing I go is put it all in one container so she can see it all and eat it.  When I do it any other way, half of the stuff comes back or unopened.  Either a bento box or my favorite Ziplock 3 section (they never ever leak)

In the large section:

2-3 ham or salami slices rolled up with a slice of favorite cheese

PB&J or PB and banana - sliced.  (I even cave and get overpriced Uncrustables because she eats them.)

Mini bagel with cream cheese and a touch of jam

Ham/swiss on a Hawaiian roll

Purdue short cuts chicken pieces with a cheese stick

In the other two sections it is usually homemade muffin or breakfast "cookie" which is calorie packed.  She also loves goldfish and pirate booty so sometimes I do that.   The other section I  then put her favorite fruits but they have to be cut (but I dry them really good before packing so they don't get soggy.)

I never overdue it so it isn't overwhelming.  We make a deal that she can not throw anything out and I won't get mad at her for what she didn't eat.  It helps me gauge what she seems to like and doesn't.  And it also lets me know how big of an after school snack to offer her.
