For my kids, ages 15, 12, and 5, I make their sandwiches or wraps the night before!. Things like this:
Spinach tortilla with ham, swiss cheese, fresh spinach leaves and a dash of honey mustard
Small sub bun with big pepperoni or hard salami and a slice of mozzarella and thin slice of tomato with a mixture of mayo and bit of Italian dressing
For my little son, peanut butter and banana on whole grain bread!.
Add:
a container of yogurt
a container of applesauce for my little son
a ziploc of Chex mix -- I make a big batch and divide it up on the weekend so it's as easy as grabbing the bag from the cupboard
sometimes a piece of string cheese
for a drink, I fill their water bottles 1/4 full at night and freeze them, then use them in the lunch containers as an ice pack!. At lunch they fill them with water from the fountain and add a Crystal Light single!.
We need new thermal containers but when I get some I will sometimes microwave two hotdogs until they are really hot, stick them in the thermos, wrap up a couple of whole grain buns separately and stick in restaurant packs of ketchup, mustard and relish!.
I also make banana, zucchini, pumpkin, lemon blueberry, etc!. bread or snack cake for their dessert ahead of time, slice and put in individual ziplocs and freeze!. Take one out and it's ready by lunch!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soup in a thermos
Dip with veggies or fruit (Dips to go with veggies could be cheese, sourcream or bean based!. Dips with fruit might be cream cheese or sour cream based)
Cream cheese/jelly spread for crackers or pita bread Just mix some softened cream cheese with a favorite jelly!. (My kids like homemade peach wine jelly with cream cheese)
Crackers and cheese with accompanying fruits
I'm assuming you mean lunches giving you a normal change from sandwiches!.!.!.!.

chicken quesadillas
slice up the chicken into strips
grill them up a little
add some sauce while cooking- such as BBQ
put one tortilla on a frying pan with PAM
pour reduced-fat cheese on top of tortilla
add chicken
add more cheese
place second tortilla on top
after heated for a little, press down on the sandwich with a plate to make skinnier
flip when one side is brown,
