Packed lunch ideas to bring to camp?

Ella

So, I'm going to a two week day camp where you have to bring your own lunch that can't be refrigerated. I also can't eat wheat...any ideas?

(PS. I'm homeschooled, so I don't have many ideas since I never had to bring a packed lunch to school

Answer
Get an insulated lunch box and an ice pack to keep your food cold. You can make all kinds of salads like a basic garden salad in a tupperware and top it off with a large scoop of tuna or sliced hard boiled eggs. Add a bag of chips and a few pickle spears and you have a nice lunch.

Help!? Ideas for a packed lunch?

.:Emerald:

Hi!
I finally got accepted to a modeling agency and am about to take classes! (YAY!)
The lady there told me to bring lunch as it is a 5 hour class... I need good ideas for a packed lunch!
Nothing too hard to prepare, needs to stay fresh, easy to make or find, and not too big or small.
Thank you so much!

Answer
Packing a lunch for school and/or work can be a challenge. Often times you donât have access to a microwave or refrigeration. Eating the same thing every day can get old after a short time as well. My suggestions for lunch are listed below. Consider taking an insulated lunch bag to keep some of these things cold until itâs time to eat. You could also freeze your beverage (water, juice, etc) and use it as an ice pack if you donât have a lunch box.

Wraps, salads, and sandwiches are good for the âentrée courseâ of your lunch. Use different deli meats and cheeses every week so you donât tire of the same flavors. Itâs good to make homemade dressings or switch up the condiments on these items as well. Use as many fresh ingredients as possible to increase the nutritional value as well. Another idea would be to cook chicken breasts, fish, and pork tenderloins in large amounts over the weekend and keep the cooked meat in the fridge or freezer as an addition to your sandwiches, wraps, or salads. Itâs a nice change to deli meat. My family also enjoys chicken, tuna, or ham salad sandwiches every so often. And you can never go wrong with peanut butter and jelly!

As the âside dishesâ for your lunch, I would suggest any of the items listed below.
fruit, yogurt, pudding, or jello cups
fresh vegetables with ranch dressing
granola bars
popcorn
trail mix
chips (take salsa or a cheese dip for tortilla chips)
pretzels
100 calorie snack packs (cookies, brownie bites, etc)
special K cracker chips
dry cereal
fresh fruit (like apples/bananas with peanut butter, orange slices, grapes, etc)
tasty cakes (Little Debbie brand)
bologna and cheese cubes
broccoli, macaroni, pasta, or potato salad
crackers (goldfish, animal crackers, cheese or peanut butter filled sandwich crackers)
dried fruit (raisins, craisins, banana/apricot/apple chips)
deviled or pickled eggs
cheese curls or cheese balls
fun sized candy bars
mixed nuts
gummy candy
marshmallows

Does anyone know of any stores in Toronto that would carry lunch bags or the names of companies that make them? Thanks!

Answer
you can get one every where, in terms of which ones are better, keep in mind that you get what you pay for, but more importantly if you want to keep your lunch cold then freeze your juice boxes, or get a ice pack. this will keep your lunch colder longer.
For places to go try:
Shoppers drug mart
Loblaws
Pharma Plus
Wallmart
Zellers
Sears
Bay
Dominion
Good luck and shop around its your money and well spend it well instead of wishing you had a different one or spending it over and over.

Can I bring cottage cheese in my school lunch?

Tally

I pack my lunch for school and am wondering if it's safe to pack cottage cheese. Do I need an ice pack? How long will it keep in my lunch bag?

Answer
You can take cottage cheese in your lunch.

Put it in a Tupperware type container with a snap on lid. I like my cottage COLD, so I like to freeze two zip lock bags or 2 small containers with lids, (leave room for the ice to expand) then put lids on your ice containers and they are ready to be used to keep your cottage cheese cold.

I put the ice on each side of my cottage cheese then wrap in a small ice cheese ice in a small towel. Put in your lunch sack.
It's better if you buy you one of those flexible small insulated lunch boxes.

Good Luck.

PS. As you know, if you ever find your cottage cheese is hot, don't eat it.

How long can milk stay out before going bad?

I like my protein shakes with milk so I was thinking about mixing my protein and milk before i leave the house and drink it about 2-3 hrs later. It will be in a lunch bag with one of those blue ice cubes. I just dont think it will provide the temperature needed for the milk to stay good.

Answer
I think you'll be fine since you have it on an ice pack.

Technically, once dairy products rise above 40 degrees (F), bacterial growth 'could' occur. The warmer it is, the more likely.

You could just use a insulated thermos. That keeps things hot or cold for several hours.

Is it safe to send meat in my son's lunch at school?

proud nerd

My son has an insulated lunch bag, but still has four hours between the time he goes to school and the time he eats lunch. Is it safe to give him ham or turkey sandwiches? He can't have peanut butter, since a child in his class is allergic to peanuts. What other types of sandwiches can I make for him?

Answer
I have the same problem with no peanut butter. So I freeze the sandwich container over night (empty) and put a small ice pack in the lunch bag for the day. It works for us and she says her fruit and juice stay cold as well.
Hope that helps...
