10 delicious and easy lunch ideas

Here are some meal ideas that are almost always "winning", even for the most difficult kids!

Rolled pizza

Garnish a whole-wheat tortilla with tomato sauce, grated cheese and toppings (tuna, ham, cooked chicken diced, vegetables, olives, etc.) and bake for a few minutes, long enough for cheese melts. Then roll the pizza. It will be enough to warm it about thirty seconds in the microwave at mealtime.

For a complete meal, add: minicarottes and celery sticks, yogurt, a drink and snacks of your choice.

False nachos

Cut in peaks and toast whole wheat tortillas (can be done in large quantities in advance). Serve with a legume dip (hummus or black beans, for example) and homemade or commercial salsa.

For a complete meal, add: pepper and cucumber sticks, a few diced cheese, a drink and snacks to choose from.

Short egg sandwich

Perfect for late mornings: just cook an egg beaten in the microwave for 1 min and garnish with an English muffin. Add a slice of cheese, a leaf of salad and a little mayo (or other condiment to taste.)

For a complete meal, add: crudités of your choice, a few diced cheese, a drink and snacks to choose from.

Soup lunch

When you have soup left after the evening meal (or a can of condensed soup), add some frozen vegetables, leftovers of meat or fish (ham, chicken, shrimp, etc.). .) and a small handful of rice. Cook until the vegetables and rice are tender (it should take the time to get rid of and wash the dishes), and put in a thermos or microwavable container.

Mexican salad

To a leftover cooked rice, add canned red kidney beans, corn, diced cheese and pepper, and homemade or commercial salad dressing.
