Check out www.iLunchBox.com. They have nothing but great ideas for portable lunches, even for vegetarians. There are tips on food safety and articles on nutrition as well. You can sign up and get the newsletter so that you are always being inspired!

PS: stay away from the launches, they are no good for you or your child. My children's favorite lunches tend to be the ploughman's lunch. I can use the leftovers from dinner, fresh fruits or veg and some whole grain crackers or bread. Like a homemade lunchable.

Have you ever tried a peanut butter and "fluff" sandwich? Fluff is a marshmallow-type cream that goes really well with peanut butter. I actually mix them together before putting them on the sandwich, and it isn't quite as messy when eaten. Cream cheese and jelly or peanut butter and honey are good sandwich options, too; I've never actually had a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but I've heard they're are good. If your child is willing to eat canned chicken, you can drain it, add mayo. and just a touch of honey, and that makes a delicious sandwich; you can add cheese, if you want. You may also want to try a grilled bologna and cheese sandwich (if he doesn't mind eating it cold/room temperature). If you have a thermos, you can try lots of different ideas with that - soup, pastas, etc. I hope this is helpful.

Mmmm...apple slices and peanut butter sounds good. I've never tried that. I know my son loves apples and caramel dipping sauce...I could do that sometimes. Thanks for the idea.
I did buy him a food container (thermos) and it is working great so far. I've sent him chicken noodle soup, chicken and rice, spagetti and meatballs and yesterday I sent him barbecued meatballs....he really loved that. I don't really know how warm it is when he eats it, but he's eating it and that's all that matters. lol It's supposed to keep food warm for 5 hours. He eats lunch pretty early...10:50. Now I've been trying to think of some ideas for the thermos. Any ideas??? I'll still send a sandwich now and then just for a change. But poor fellow, he was sick to death of a sandwich everyday. lol I'm glad I bought the thermos.
