Homeschool Talk: School Lunches

My homeschool topic this week is not about curriculum or science experiments. Its about food! On school days I spend the morning teaching school. Then when Claire is finished, its time for me to make lunch. My problem is this: I need more ideas for quick and easy lunches that are also somewhat healthy.
This year my kids have art, PE, and gymnastics all on Tuesdays so I am going to be faced with needing a really quick lunch for those days. I don't want to fall into the habit of picking something up at Sonic every Tuesday!

My kids are picky. They don't like lunchmeat so a quick sandwich is out. Nathan loves PB&J, but Claire is allergic to peanuts so that's not really a quick option for me because I have to prepare everything seperately, away from Claire's food.

So, for this post I wanted to share some of the things I've come up with as well as ask for ideas for others.

Here is a list of my old stand-bys:

1. Mini Pizzas
Made on English muffins or hamburger buns

2. Cheese Quesedillas
sometimes done in the microwave, sometimes on the mini George Foreman

3. Pasta
I sometimes make an extra amount for dinner so we can have it left over.
The kids love pasta!

If you have a quick and easy lunch idea for school days please leave a comment and tell me what it is!
