Getting into the
back to school routine is already tough for parents and kids; but if they are
excited for lunch, maybe it won’t be so bad.
Between back to
school shopping and making sure you have all school supplies, you don’t have
the time to think up new recipes that come stamped with the little ones’
approval.
Plus, they aren’t
all that interested in eating healthy, but you can’t always give them snacks to
eat. So, here are five back to school lunchbox ideas you can try to get your
little ones eager for school.
The best part
about these delights is that they are super easy to put together even in the
early, rushed mornings; and, with Back to School Coupons, you can get all the ingredients without breaking the
bank.
Ham + Mac & Cheese Muffins
Have leftover Mac
& cheese from last night’s dinner? Then, for a back to school lunchbox, how
about mixing it with ham to create a whole new dish?
When you are
racking your brain thinking of something to make, these muffins are sure to
take the load off your shoulders. All the ingredients, you are sure to have in
your monthly grocery list; so, take up some bread crumbs, diced ham, and
leftover Mac and cheese, and you have a meal for lunch and after school.
Pizza Pancakes
No child will
ever say no to pizza, but this recipe combines two of their most favorite meals
– pizza and pancakes.
Mix the pancake
batter with cheese, pepperoni, and other pizza essential for your family; and,
you have a gooey cheesy treat of pancakes and pizza that your little one will
never tire off.
Fruity Chicken Balls on a Stick
Chicken and
fruits – that’s two healthy meals combined into one. Plus, with them in the
shape of small balls, you don’t have to worry about forgetting to pack a spoon
with your child’s lunch box.
Mince the chicken
and roll them into small balls as you do for Spaghetti & meatballs; dip
them into milk-soaked bread crumbs for extra crunch.
Pierce the
chicken onto a stick and separate the pieces with cut-up fruits and vegetables
– and voila! You have a meal ready for lunch that works just as good as a treat
for after school.
Blueberry Banana Muffins
When thinking up
lunchboxes for school, you have a lot of parameters to meet; they need to be
something your child will enjoy, but also healthy so that you feel like you are
doing your job as a parent.
So, how about
blueberry & banana muffins?
Every child
enjoys muffins; bananas and blueberries are healthy; so, it’s two birds with
one stone.
Peanut Butter & Jam Cookie
Sandwich
The classic
PB&J Sandwich takes on a new look with this recipe.
If your little
one has no allergies, then give this recipe a try; bake some cookies or shop
from the store and spread your peanut butter and jam to make a cookie sandwich.
