A la some other posts—I suggest almond butter as a substitute for PB. Also you might cut the regular sandwiches, crust free, into shapes with a cookie cutter, round glass, etc. Try cream cheese and jelly, never hear folks doing that any more. Can make sandwiches double decker, with thinner or flattened bread, for a change.

Love your sushi, might even take them to a pot luck, will make some veggie with roasted peppers, ribbons of zucchini, laughing cow, etc.

this is the ONLY way I can get my boyfriend’s 6-yr-old to eat veggies at lunch!! he eats them ok at home, but his teacher informed me that he typically chunks the carrot sticks or cherry tomatoes I’d been sending. apparently he only likes them if I’m there to supervise… ;-)

his school is peanut-free too – I think that’s typical now. I found a soy butter that is approved for schools… it tastes a lil different, but tasty. he eats it just fine with a shmear of all-fruit spread.

Tried this idea and I loved it. Since my husband and I are vegetarians we used veggie lunch meats instead. I’d thought about making hummus to replace the cheese to make it vegan. I’m always up for fast and easy recipes. Thanks!

I have made these for years for my kids. Neither one liked “sandwiches” for school lunches. An inexpensive way to make flat bread is to take your very fresh white or whole grain sandwich loaf bread and roll it flat with your rolling pin. You can cut the crusts but I always thought the “ends” looked like flowers when rolled up. My children loved them.

What a wonderful idea! I have a VERY picky 5 year old (who has severe allergy to peanuts) and I’m finding it hard to come up with healthy recipes that he’ll like. I’m going to try this one. Thanks for all your wonderful meal/snack ideas. I have no imagination when it comes to planning meals so it’s great to find a site like yours. :)

I made these and they were yummy and so easy for a quick lunch between classes. I have been buying the Lavash bread right at walmart by the deli meat! Bonnie perhaps you should look there, I mean isnt there a walmart on every corner these days?? haha

I’ve been looking for the Lavash bread, but no luck so far. Last night I went to the health food store and Meijer, but couldn’t find it. I did ask the health food store clerk about it though, and he is going to check about ordering it. I got flatouts at Meijer instead, so that I can make this today.

Funny that wraps would be on here today…I just discovered I’d been counting my subway turkey, no cheese, no dressing wraps as 4 points…well I come to find out after some research that the wrap itself is 7 points!!!! No wonder I haven’t been loosing!!! OMG I was sick after finding that out!

Our whole house is a peanut-free zone since my daughter is allergic :(

However, it did lead us to discover Soy Nut Butter. I know–it sounds hideous (I would have never tried it if I wasn’t forced into it), but honestly, it makes a great substitute. On a sandwich with Jam or Bananas, most people wouldn’t even notice that it’s not peanut butter. We feed it to my daughter’s picky friends all the time and they’ve never said a word. Our Walmart carries it, too.

Just an idea . . .

Valerie – Yup! I’ve been putting them in his lunch for 2 weeks!

My kids have a peanut free area in their school… there are 2 kids in kinder that are allergic to peanuts. One is so severe that she almost died when another child touched her arm after eating peanut butter (the other child hadn’t washed her hands yet). That’s pretty scary so I don’t even send my kids with anything peanut related because I would feel horrible if I heard one of the kids with allergies had a reactiona and my kids had eaten peanut products that day!

did he like the sandwhich?

This is so cool! Way to trick the Toddler!

Such a cute idea! Especially for a toddler- I was very against eating sandwiches when I was little so my mum used to make me “pancake sandwiches” every Monday, with our leftover pancakes from Sunday breakfast. They were basically 2 pancakes with butter, cinnamon, and sugar between them. Definitely not the healthiest, but they sure were tasty!

Sandwiches and sushi are both fantastic.

Too cute! Love the trick to get the toddler to eat!

I can’t believe his school is peanut free – I used to teach, but even I feel that is a little extreme.

I need to find some of this Lavash bread since it’s made several appearances! :)

I need to find Lavash. All I could find was a large cracker like thing. I guess I need to hit the Bosnian markets in town. This looks so good!!

my kids get tired of sandwiches for lunch too i will have to give these a try!
One thing my munchkins really like is rolling a cheese string in lunchmeat
(sometimes i include a sliver of dill pickle in it too), i use a toothpick to keep it together and i send some crackers with it.

I love to make something like this for parties with cream cheese, salsa, and a green onion. We dip them in salsa.

Great idea for lunches for both adults and kids! My toddlers take the insides out of their sandwiches and leave the bread, maybe with this they would eat it all :)

Well a peanut free zone I could certainly not withstand, but this is a great idea. Speaking of which, I made a peanut butter and banana sushi roll a while ago as well. It was a lot of fun to eat, I have to admit. Sushi is always fun to eat because you can see each ingredient, it's already cut into bite-sized pieces and it's pleasant to look at. If it's just a whole lot of things mashed between two slices of bread it's not nearly as appetizing!

This is a vegan website, but it may be just what you need to inspire your lunch ideas for the toddler… http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ . If you look through the archives she used to do a lunch every day. She also has a book and you can find some of her recipes at http://shmooedfood.blogspot.com/ .
