School Lunch Box Ideas

Well Winter Break is over and the kids are back in school.  I sure didn't miss making lunches every day but I have to get back into the swing of things.  Does anyone else get in a slump and wonder what to pack?  It's hard since everything has to be kept cold and my daughter's preschool doesn't allow nut products so that takes difficulty through the roof!  I wanted to share some ideas with you in hopes that it takes the guess work out.  I also suggest making lunches the night before and have it all ready in the lunch pail in the fridge.

When packing lunches for my girls I try at least one protein and two sides.  Here is my full list of proteins and sides:
