Kid friendly lunch ideas?

kristinL16

I have four kids ages 9, 6, 3 and 6 months. I work three days a week and bring leftovers or a tuna wrap with veggies and yogurt for lunch most days. However, I struggle with healthy lunches on days I am home. On the days that it is just me and the younger two we seem to be on the go half the time and just pick things up while we are out or just have a sandwich or something at home. On weekends I tend to make more "kid" meals--mac and cheese and chicken nugguts, frozen pizza, quesadillas, etc. I need some new ideas that are healthy but quick and easy and that the kids will like. I'm finding that I tend to eat much better on the days that I work--more planned out meals and snacks and I feel more "stable" throughout the day. At home I forget to eat then eat something that isn't healthy because I am starving. Any suggestions?

I bought frozen breast tenders, and made homemade chicken strips. The kids loved them and they were super easy.

I also make sure that if I am out and about, I pack lunches.
