I know this may sound boring but we usually just send leftovers with my daughter to school kept warm in her thermos. We are usually in such a rush in the morning and I try to focus on giving them a healthy breakfast that lunch is usually over-looked as a special meal. I am going to try making the chicken nuggets in large batches and freeze them, and I also love the hummus idea! They only have 15 mins to eat lunch (horrible, I know) so it has to be something she can eat fast. Plus my kids are pretty picky eaters. Now that I have another kid starting school next fall and another one after that I need to start putting more thought into their lunches. Great post Jenny!

I need help with school lunches! It is way too hot for soup here, and she is getting bored with frittata and sandwiches. Our school also has a no nut policy. Pizza is a good idea. Anyone got anything for me?

Runaway,
We have stainless steel thermoses that I can send hot foods to school in! And it stays hot, too.

I can come up with cooler weather lunches just fine, but what about warm weather lunches? My little ones will eat only so many salads.

Those look awesome, but you can’t heat up soups and other dishes in typical school settings, so that might present a problem. With our younger elementary children, we really try to stick with (travel-friendly) less messy foods for practical reasons, too – less work for the teachers, too.

And lastly (I’m such a pain in the butt, I know!) we really need to watch sending nuts to school, just in case of allergies with other kiddos. Sometimes the schools won’t publicize a child’s severe allergies to other parents for “privacy reasons” I have learned, so it never hurts to be extra-careful.

I’ll eat it all, though! Mmm!
