Sandwiches may never go out of style, but sometime your children get sick of PB&J. Get your kids excited about lunch all over again with these ten high-flavor, low-stress options.
BAKED CRACKER-CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS

Who says burgers are just for barbecues? Martha Stewart riffs on the classic burger with ground turkey and cheddar, and makes them the perfect mini size for little ones’ lunch boxes. Photo: essexgirlcookshealthy.com
PIZZA BUNS!
Imagine if a cinnamon roll and a pizza had a baby, and you’ll get pizza buns. Rebecca from Simple As That makes them like cinnamon rolls, but with pizza ingredients. They’re super portable, perfect for a lunch box! Photo: Simple As That

SAY YES TO NOT’CHOS!
