Are you back in the school saddle again? I am! Our oldest son started yesterday. It was bittersweet. My baby is now in 5th grade. When he got home, I wanted to know the important stuff: his teacher, friends, homework schedule, etc. He wasn’t too excited to share about any of those topics.
He wanted to tell me about his lunch!
What is it with kids and their lunch?? Is it the social aspect to it, or the actual food? I don’t know what it is, but I always try to get the boys what they want to pack in their lunch (when they do brown bag it). It involves them in the choice and ensures they will eat it! Because, as a mother, I care more about them being well fed so they can stay focused to make that grade!! Oh, and their social time is kinda important…of course :)
But, I can always use a few tips when it comes to the whole back to school lunch-time stuff! Maybe you can too.
I am working with ConAgra to promote a FREE online presentation with Supermarket Guru, Phil Lempert. The presentation will be on Wednesday, September 2 from 2p – 3p EST. Phil will be discussing lunch box alternatives, money saving shopping tips and quick family meals ideas.
You can reserve your spot by registering here. This is open to everyone, so please consider joining in! Since it’s online that means you can have loud kids in the background and no one will hear :) Also, there will be a Q&A . That is always a nice component during these presentations! Oh, and there will be ConAgra coupons given away during the presentation too!!
As a little fun thing to go along with this, I also have a great giveaway!! 3 winners will receive the following:

My kids would say either mac and cheese or grilled lunch meat and cheese for home lunches. For school packed lunch I think my oldest likes sunflower butter and jam sandwich best.
I tweeted it! Thanks a lot for the giveaway and I’m reserving my spot now!
Right now my favorite lunch item is BLT’s, that will likely change when I don’t have fresh tomatoes anymore.

Peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches. Every single day. The redundancy almost makes chocolate seem icky… almost.
This isn’t the quickest lunch box solution, but my daughter loves ham & cheese roll-ups. A whole grain tortilla, mustard, ham and deli cheese rolled up together, then cut in half. This is a very filling sandwich option for her.
My son’s current favorite is those crushable yogurt cups from Dannon/Danimals – he gets to eat without a spoon and then smash it afterwards – what more could a 6-year old want?
My favorite lunch is a cobb salad!
I also subscribe to your e-mails.
Our current favorite might be boring, but it’s easy – PBJ!
I registered for the talk .. it’s interesting
I”m subscribed to your daily update .. i love it
My kids’ fave right now is Dole fruit-n-gel bowls.
For school lunches my kids like veggie sandwiches and good old peanut butter and jelly.
A good standy lunch for me is peanut butter and homemade jam. I always have the ingredients and it pretty much always tastes good. :)

have to pack a lunch everyday for my 6 year old and already have the “wear is my (insert item)”, don’t send that anymore (insert item)…we are still trying to figure out the everyday lunch box. I loved school lunches but it is not an option for us. thanks.
M son doesn’t eat at school but I will have to say that is favorite lunchtime food is pizza. We have a convience store near by that sells the same pizza in their deli area and he always wants to stop for some “school pizza” as he calls it.

I fall back on pb&j with lots of fruit/veggies on the side and a cheese stick. It’s the lunch that has been most completely eaten by my kiddos.
My favorite quick lunch meal to make is peanut butter and banana sandwich with a little bit of honey.
My favorite lunch is soup. My son’s favorite is a Ham, Turkey, Salami, and American Cheese Sandwich.
My favorite go to lunch is the Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers. They are so yummy, healthy, and a good source of fiber. My favorite is the rotini with meat sauce. Just delicious!!
My favorite is a fresh salad with ranch and croutons! Thanks!
