[quote=Anonymous]For the past couple years, my kids packed their own lunches in the morning.  They are pretty formulaic, variety seems to be something I aspire to in the meals I plan, but they're happy with the same thing everyday.

Now, every day, I have one kid set up an assembly line and make lunches to deliver to everyone in the family.  For the kids, and any adults eating together, they don't put them in bags they are served on plates, but I get a bag dropped off at my desk in my bedroom, mainly because I don't trust my kids to carry a tray up the stairs.

Because we're doing it this way, we're only serving what we'd serve in a lunch box.  So, while on the weekends we might have left overs, or breakfast for lunch or something, on the weekdays it's always the same.  Everyone gets:

A sandwich (only exception is if there is leftover pizza)

A dairy something (yogurt, cheese stick, glass of milk or kefir (would be thermos at school))

Some kind of fruit

veggies with dip of some sort (ranch, guac, hummus, some kids don't like dip) or vegetable soup in a thermos/bowl

A cookie or small bar of some sort

Water for the non-milk drinkers[/quote]
