Giving your picky eaters trading power in the lunch room
We are well into September. The schools are all back in full
swing and the chore of packing lunch is once again challenging moms
everywhere.
What to pack in school lunch boxes is one of my most asked
questions. Parents are looking for any ideas or suggestions to add
variety to that deli sandwich fall-back. My childhood lunch
memories consist of a boiled ham sandwich on white bread with mayo.
By lunch time the bread would be extra soft and smashed paper thin,
guaranteed to stick to the roof of my mouth. I do not know if I
refused to eat anything else or if this was the extent of my
mother's brown-bagging creative vision. I do remember feeling lucky
when I was able to eat someone else's fried bologna sandwich with
barbeque sauce. It would feel like a present, wrapped in foil,
still warm from the frying pan.
