Those can be eaten at any temperature really.<br /><br />We have a peanut free school so it's not part of the sandwich rotation, but we still usually find lots of options.arthur, robin, maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167783085766202519.post-57394710154879808672010-07-31T18:34:30.593-05:002010-07-31T18:34:30.593-05:00There is a hot thermos that is "hamburger&quo...There is a hot thermos that is "hamburger" shaped at Target. I've put Boca burgers in it for Josh and put the bun and fixin's on the side. <br /><br />I've put veggie and beef dogs, when he ate them, and "Chicken" nuggets in a hot thermos for Josh to take to lunch. You have to put boiling hot water in the thermos cap it and let it sit while you do the rest of your morning routine, empty it and dry it toss in the "chicken" or veggie dog and surprisingly it's still hot at lunch time. We did a test run on the weekend. <br /><br />I also send pasta and sauce in the thermos the same way. <br /><br />The veggie bento box lunch's are great. When you order one of the boxes they include a recipe book with some great ideas.<br /><br />I think it's great your school offers a meatless lunch. Our school specializes in feeding the kiddos crap- McDonald's, Chik-Fil-a, Taco Bell. Josh only orders on pizza day and it is the only meatless day.<br /><br />I like Rod Stewart and I now have this image in my head of your Mom singing and dancing to Hot legs.Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167783085766202519.post-51168587124135434882010-07-30T19:02:48.663-05:002010-07-30T19:02:48.663-05:00My kids love what we call Munch-A-Lunch.

She has some great ideas for menus and ways to keep it at edible temperature. If you check out the older posts on her blog, she shows a lot of her kiddo's lunches http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/radioactiveganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841051196996847922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167783085766202519.post-1904918680977813302010-07-30T14:22:49.290-05:002010-07-30T14:22:49.290-05:00Little pizza rolls would be good too.

I would put crackers diced cheddar chunks and for D I'd put a meat cut up and grapes/strawberries etc. You could do that without the meat. We also just made a point of putting lots of healthier snack option in the lunch box too. She liked to have a bag of cheerios to munch on, granola bars etc. And things like that I didn't worry too much if she passed over some of the heartier lunch options in there.<br /><br />PS - You're Mom's not the ONLY Rod Stewart fan left. DH has Dani loving the Rhythm of My Heart song so much she knows all the words and sings along all the time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014588323600278794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167783085766202519.post-1143518114487492172010-07-30T11:01:22.090-05:002010-07-30T11:01:22.090-05:00I was going to suggest the same thing, if you boug...I was going to suggest the same thing, if you bought a nice thermos and heated something up in the morning it might make it till lunchtime still decently warm. You could also do roll ups on tortillas with pb&j, or cheese, or hummus. You could try a bento style lunch, I know there are a ton of blogs dedicated to those. Goo luck! I am happy I can put off lunch time woes one more year, B will be going to half day kindy this year!aliciajillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198278046595875687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167783085766202519.post-27872910770033142992010-07-30T10:56:13.373-05:002010-07-30T10:56:13.373-05:00I used to take soup to school for lunch.

That could go in a thermos too.Kim Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146719659157674270noreply@blogger.com
