If you run out of lunch meat on Thursday and don't want to go buy more at 7:00 a.m. Friday morning, what did you send for lunch that day? I have done this, I was just curious what kind of impromptu lunches others have made for their kids when they were in a jam.
Answers:
butter on both slices of bread and pepperoni slices in between
I have taken PB&J wraps to school before. Just put peanut butter and jelly inside a flour tortiall and roll it up! Yum!

I don't have to make lunches any more but when I did, I would do the fun healthy thing. Cheese slices or chunks, if I had different kinds then I made it a variety. Olives. A pickle or two depending on the size. Saltine crackers, and/or graham crackers. Any fresh fruit or fresh veggie that he would eat. Maybe a few raisins. Actually it's quick to just grab and bag up a few things. And a change of pace. I would always throw in a couple cookies. But then I used to make Bunny pancakes on the weekends for my son. He thought they were pretty cool. He's grown and gone now, but when he comes and stays over sometimes I will make him bunny pancakes now, just to see that "aren't you ever gonna let me grow up smile" It's just a nostalgia thing and kind of a private joke. And no I wouldn't do it if he brought a girl home with him.
PBJ with "ants on a log" or "race cars" Celery with PB and raisins.
There are so many sandwich fillings in the average house I could go on all day.
Open a tin of baked beans, sardines, tuna, salmon.

You indicate you feed the lunch meat daily, please tell me that it isn't so. We had that day in day out until we were big enough to make our own, and that was 45 years ago
