Need easy, healthy lunch ideas!?!
So, I used to have only my little sister to look after and we usually ate Ramen Noodles, but now I have to feed myself, my little sister, my 2 step-brothers, and my step-dad's mom!. My 2 step-brothers and my step-dad's mom are very picky eaters!. My step-brothers don't eat onions or spicy things or vegetables if they can help it!. My step-dad's mom, however, doesn't eat, wait for it, GREEN VEGETABLES! I have no clue how to cook like this! I usually cook very healthy for other people, but now it seems like I have to hide all of the ingredients!.
So, anyway, I need easy, healthy, and altogether, good lunch food recipes!.
Thank You,

Some ideas:
Chicken tenders/fingers
Leftovers, whatever's leftover from dinner the night before make into sandwiches the next day!. Flank steak with lettuce, salt and pepper makes a great lunch, roast beef, fried chicken, pizza, etc, ziti, lasagna warmed up, these all make great lunches!. Whatever you've had the night before, warm up the next day for lunch!
Tuna fish sandwiches or tuna salad
Egg salad sandwiches or just egg salad
Omelets
Salad, but add some chicken, tomatos, olives, carrots, hard boiled eggs, cucumbers, fennel, onions, etc!.
Wraps, either with cold cuts or with chicken and add lettuce and tomatos!. Put on a tortilla and cut in half!.
Spaghetti or pasta
cold cut sandwiches
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
Bagel with cream cheese or peanut butter
Grilled cheese sandwiches
Hamburgers and hot dogs
Soups
Mac and cheese
Cheese and crackers with fruit
Fruit salad with lemon juice sprinkled on top so it doesn't turn brown
Fruit slices with peanut butter
Cut up carrots, celery, and veggies with dip
pancakes or waffles, as long as they like it!
Scrambled Eggs
Chicken cutlet or grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato!.
I hope some of these ideas help!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'd concentrate on the kids menu- the step granny is on her own as far as I'm concerned, unless she's infirm and unable to fend for herself!. Lunch could be wraps- you can have an assortment of meats, cheeses, pickles, condiments and let them make their own with whatever appeals to them!. Even maybe have sliced hard boiled eggs handy, if possible, since they're high in protein!. Soups are good if it's not too hot- tomato soup is high in vitamin C, and most kids like it with a cheese sandwich- grilled or not!. Even fresh fruit with some yougurt- great if it's hot could work!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

How about wraps!? You can have the tortillas with turkey or ham!. Lay out the cheese, lettuce, tomatoes or whatever and they can choose what to put on them!. You can put little corn on the cobs in the micro!.
Campbell soup with it!.
Cut up fruit or put the can of pinapple or peaches in the frig to get them good and cold to go with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
