teenager: good ideas for packed lunches?




anonymous


our cantine is being redone and they supplied us with the GROSSEST lunches ever (all packaged and processed)
we're not allowed to go out at lunch and i need good ideas for packed lunches because im sick of sandwiches already......


can i bring yogurt? (will it go bad?)
will sushi go bad????

looking for things that are easy to make in the mornings.....



Answer
Get a cooler lunch bag, that will keep things cold until lunchtime - especially if you put a little freezer pack in it.

Cut up apple slices and toss in lemon juice so they don't brown.
Yogurt will be fine in cooler bag, bring blueberries to stir in.
I would only bring sushi if you put it on top of the freezer pack in the cooler bag to make sure it stays cold enough.
Salad

how to make brown bag lunches?

I work in a construction type trade.
I can't take frozen food, although I can keep it cold enough to stay fresh till noon, I have no way to cook it. Hot food, will typically stay warm enough to be safe but who wants to eat soup when your working in 100* temps all day. Sandwiches are good, but I can only do that so much before the thought of another sandwich makes me cringe.... any ideas? also keep in mind I typically do not have running water to clean up, so something that requires "hands on" food prep is out of the question.
oh, and if it is not cheap... I may as well go out.....



Answer
Put your tea (with lemon & sugar if you want it) in one of those quart-size plastic jugs with a lid and freeze it. Use it in an insulated lunch bag to keep other things cold. If the quart of frozen tea isn't sufficient, use the reusable gel-packs you buy and keep in the freezer specifically for this purpose.

In the pocket of the lunch bag, pack folded paper towels and a travel pack of Wet Wipes. Pack knife-fork-spoon, either an "extra set" or plasticware. Pack travel size salt and pepper.

Things I have safely packed for lunches and toted in the insulated lunch bag with a cold pack, packed in either a plastic bag or a small plastic container:

Baby carrots and celery sticks
Crackers of various types
Cheese chunks/slices
Boiled eggs (if stuffed/deviled, put the eggs back face-to-face to minimize smears)
Salad greens, either the ready-to-eat pack from the produce case or home-packed, with separate container of salad dressing
Fried chicken pieces (if you like it cold as some people do)
Cold ham (or other meat slices) to eat alone, on crackers, or on salad
Tuna salad (with or without bread)
Chicken salad (with or without bread)
Chinese chicken salad (the kind with ramen noodles in it)
Pasta salad
Potato salad
Tomato-and-fresh-mozzarella salad
Cole slaw
Apple slices
Pineapple chunks
Grapes
Strawberries/blueberries
Graham crackers spread with cream cheese (or peanut butter)
and so on and so on and so on.
