Cherry tomatoes, fresh green peppers, pre-peeled oranges, snack mixes (ala chex mix) are just a few of the snacks around here. I love to bake, so easy Oatmeal Cookies or PB cookes are good for snacking, too.

Reporting back - bought a pizza cutter, used it, and she ATE all but one at school. Man, you’re good. Thanks for that - not sure why my child does not each sandwiches, but this helps a ton.

Hey, thanks for the shout out about Lunch in a Box! Yeah, I have been a little Japanese-food-centric lately — time for some different kinds of food…

Oh, that is, in fact, a GREAT idea - going to try tomorrow (assuming, that is, that we own a pizza cutter… yes, I know, pathetic that I don’t know this)

Ooh I have an idea for this…..

What about laying the turkey and cheese out and then using a pizza cutter to make them into nice, neat, well proportioned pieces before rolling them up?

Great suggestions - my daughter just started preschool and finding new things for her for lunch has been stressful. What I wish someone made are turkey rollups - she won’t eat a sandwich, but will eat turkey rollups with cheese inside. I make them, but they come out… well, not very nice looking and too big.

Remember the Office Depot commercial that played the “most wonderful time of the year” music in August/September?

I loved that as I love Target.
