Homemade lunch box ideas

I'm sick of buying the crap from supermarkets that full of weird ingredients and numbers... I want to switch to making homemade stuff to pack into my son's lunch box.

Please share what you like to make!

I've found a recipe for muesli bars and I often will make him pikelets or muffins, but please post what recipes/ideas you've had success with!

My daughter just gets a sandwich and some fruit and veg. Rarely gets muesli, maybe once a week.

But I'm watching this because some variety also would be nice.

Look up how to make fruit leather! That's always a good option for snack or desert after lunch!

I make lunches for myself for work and I do a lot of leftovers. Invest in some nice tupperwear.

When they were in school I would make lunchable type meals. On "pizza" days they'd get those sandwich thins with a little bit of cheese, pepperonis, a few spinach leaves, and sauce to make their own pizza with a fruit. Some days I would make them little kabobs with cheese and deli meat, a side of fruit, a few raw veggies and crackers. Other days I would make them pinwheels with tortillas and either pb&j or deli meats with fruits and some veggies.

That is perfect, thank you!

He only goes to daycare one afternoon a week but I get sick of putting the same stuff in. I want to start making my own granola bars and give him a variety every week. I love bento box and lunch box pictures... Total food porn.

Is the fruit leather very fiddly or messy to make?

I didn't think so.

You just stew a fruit combo (or just one fruit) add sugar (taste test it while gradually adding sugar)

I then pureed it and spread it on a silicone baking mat then dried it in the oven on super low heat (like 175) for 8 hours...or until it became tacky.

Then put parchment paper underneath and cut it into strips and rolled it up and placed in a air tight baggy.

We are friends on FB...Go look at my mobile uplaods and on the sixth row down is a picture of it before it went in the oven
