Food What's in my children's lunchbox today....(Please share your pics!)

[Ellapretty]

I thought this would be a fun thread to start as I'm always struggling to come up with lunch ideas for my kids. I searched this forum and found a few threads that were more than 2 years old - so I didn't want to bump them.

Please post pics/recipes of what you send for your kids' lunch!

I'll start with these pizza muffins I made this weekend (with my kids help) - after googling lunchbox ideas I found this recipe - and I had all the ingredients at home!

My lunch formula for them is:
dairy: milkbox, cheese stick or yoghurt
fruit & veg: apple slices, carrot sticks or raisins
snack: a small cookie or a handful of chips
main: this is where I struggle...some days it's french toast, other days its pasta, sandwiches, mini-pizza ...
drink: juicebox/milkbox & water

Next on my list to try are these mini-pot pies - my sister has great success making them for my nephew.

The advantage of these pies & the muffins above is they can be made in large batches and frozen - so they're easy to warm up in the morning.
