More Not-Deli-Meat Lunch Box Ideas:
Pasta salad - I always make extra when we have pasta for dinner, and toss it with some broccoli, shredded carrots, chicken, cheese - whatever's in the fridge the kids will eat!
Cheese and crackers - my favorite are Triscuit w/ a Hint of Salt - only 3 ingredients, none of which you need to sound out!
Yogurt - my kids think this yogurt is a big treat, and I intend to keep it that way.
Chicken Salad - use half tomato chutney or cranberry sauce, half mayo for a lot of flavor and not a lot of fat.
Leftover Ham & Cheese Biscuits
