Good meals for lunch vs. for hungry three year olds!!

Hi guys... I know this is a baby name website, but I really need help starting in September. I have seven year old twins, Kirstin and Norah and they are going into grade two. I also have three year quadruplets Gabriel, Hannah, Isaac and Leah (I know...we are very blessed though!!) I am going to be home by myself with the four three year olds and need some ideas on easy lunch ideas I can make in a snap. Now that I don’t have my two helpers to watch over them while I make lunch, I need something fast and easy. Moms out there, please help me!! It would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I have a cute little blond baby girl named Mattie (Matilda Rose) and she is turning 3 in October. She’s a handful like every other 3 year old, and i usually get along by making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches which she loves. I also make microwavable mac and cheese and when she needs her veggies i make her some broccoli. Good Luck!

Oh wow...is it a little odd that I’m 20 years old and have nooo children but I know all about lunch ideas for little kids? hahaha

Meal ideas:

Sandwiches, of course! But the regular ol’ peanut butter and jelly and turkey and cheese gets really boring. So you have to switch it up with something new and exciting.

-Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
-Peanut butter, apple, and brown sugar wraps (these are my favorites! and I’m way past 7 lol!)
-Egg salad or tuna salad or chicken salad
-Falafels in pita bread
-Grilled cheese with tomato or ham (they’ll eat it cold unless they are just really fussy)
-other kinds of wraps like turkey or ham with veggies
-Mini pizzas made out of English muffins (7 year olds will eat these cold unless they are just reaaallly fussy)
-Macaroni and cheese (they’ll eat it cold)

Side ideas:

Applesauce and Teddy Grahams
Hummus and veggie sticks (carrots, celery, cucumbers, etc)
Ranch and veggie sticks
Fresh fruit salad
Little mini yogurts
Individual peanut butters and fruit/veggies (apple slices, celery sticks, etc)
-Pasta salad or macaroni salad

Other ideas:
If you ever make a batch of cookies, put some in the freezer. Take one out each day for your girl’s lunch and stick them in their lunchboxes. It’ll keep them cold all day long (they aren’t wet like ice packs!) and will be thawed by lunch time. Brilliant!

So yeah...those are my ideas. From names, to lunch ideas, I got it all down. Man, I really need a child. LOL.

OMG I’ve had frozen bananas! Those are soooo good! Except I make mine with chocolate syrup, not yogurt. Haha. Your version is healthier ;)
