That's because you are not helpful. Helpful people offer ideas, which another parent might not think of, thereby introducing new things into a lunchbox and a kid's diet.

Why not just pack whatever the child eats considering the school has no restrictions, I don't understand what you are asking.

I make a whole tray of mac n cheese, with peas & a can of salmon. Cool overnight, cut into individual servings and freeze. It's a great lunch for rushed mornings--just defrost in the microwave.

Whatever she'd normally eat at home that can be eaten cold, warmed up, or packed in a Thermos. Often I just send leftovers. If leftovers aren't available I send:
Beans and rice
Sandwiches (different types using bread/wraps/etc)
Crackers/cheese
Pair with yogurt, different types of fruit (fresh or dried), applesauce, cheese sticks, etc.

Today- small amount blueberries, cheese stick, half chicken salad sandwich (1 bread cut into half).
Yesterday- chicken and cheddar rolled into a tortilla and melted (known in our home as roll-ups), apricot (came home uneaten), 3 slices cucumber (uneaten), 6-7 teddy Graham's (uneaten)
Monday - 4 chicken nuggets, 4 slices orange, cheddar crackers
He loves food, but is strangely picky at school.

I used to send a lot of rice and black beans when my kids were that age!

My 4-year-old requests the same lunch 3-4 times per week. So don't worry about him getting bored! Little kids love repetition, so I just go with the requests most of the time and I try to be more wide-ranging at dinner.

not the PP, but could be a kosher school. Ours is kosher but no meat. It's pretty much piscatarian, without the shellfish. I like your veggie suggestions thanks!

- black beans or garbanzos
- fruit (apple cut into small pieces or clementine or fruit cup (packed in juice)
He's 20 months. I am a little worried he's bored but it's tough without having meat as an option.
Just curious - why no meat at his school?
We are a vegetarian famiy but here are some ideas for OP... veggie muffins, egg "muffins" (there are good recipes on pinterest), homemade sweet potato pancakes, roasted veggies/potatoes/yams, cottage cheese and fruit, veggie pepperoni and cheese, dry-fried tofu and dipping sauce, grilled cheese, PB&J, refrained beans and tortilla chips... HTH!!!
