Non- Sandwich School Lunch Ideas

With the new school year approaching, it's best to get some ideas cooking for what to pack for lunches. Sandwiches are the most common choice, but this year, lets spice it up a bit! I don't know about your children, but mine got tired of the same ol' thing all the time. It didn't matter what kind of sandwich I made, no one was thrilled to find it in their lunchbox. That's when I decided, not this year! This year I'm going to be Awesome Mom, who packs the yummiest non-sandwich lunches, ever.

Be Awesome Mom, too, and consider some of these delicious lunch options. Make lunch fun by packing lunch box kabobs. Meat, cheese, tomatoes, olives - there's so many yummy foods to kabob. No-bake fruit pizzas would be another big hit with the kids. There are even make-ahead foods such as corn dog muffins, meatball bites, and Goldfish crusted chicken nuggets.
