[quote=Anonymous]I love making winter lunches, because my kids eat variations of some kind of bean or bean/rice combo all winter long.

Black beans, mayacobas, lentils, chickpeas....each week it's a different bean in a different "gravy" but all of them get finely chopped kale added into them. One-dish meals that includes veggies.

I also make spinach and feta pasta (with cottage cheese and eggs to up the protein content).

Some days it will be a smorgasbord: some slices of salami, some cheese, handfuls of various veggies...they're not big on sandwiches.

Lasagna is another easy one. Or any of of crockpot stuff.

Like some PPs, I pour boiling water in the thermos and nuke the bejeezuz out of the food. I got sick of packing and washing multiple containers and lunch bags, so three weeks ago I sucked it up and bought the OmieBento lunch boxes at 40 bucks a pop. I love them and the kids love them, they are the perfect size and have all of the right compartments, including a removable thermos that is not too big (unlike the ones I was using previously).
