Hungry, Hungry Kiddos: School Lunch Box Ideas

Luk Chaai’s idea of a truly decent meal.

 

My kids are good eaters, embarrassingly so. At the court hearing for Luk Chaai’s adoption, the deputy commented on how “sturdy” he was. Last weekend at a party, Ying ate four bowls of chow fun prompting comments of, “Geesh! Don’t you ever feed this child?” I can assure you that the people who get a kick out of watching our kids eat are the people who don’t foot the grocery bill! Some people worry about a run on the banks, we worry about a run on the Asian food market.

Here are a few lunch box ideas for hearty and picky eaters alike:

- egg salad with sun dried tomatoes (a favorite of mine)
- seaweed
- edamame
- banana chips
- Persian cucumbers and hummus
- pasta salad
- gyoza
- quesadillas
- mangos and strawberries
- pepperoni and cubed cheese
- ham and pineapple chunks
- bagels with cream cheese
- pita chips with white bean spread (white beans in the food processor with EVOO, salt, pepper, garlic)
- apples and peanut butter
- Craisins with pretzels
