I was watching the rachel ray show one day and she made a sandwhich that had waffels as the bread and then inside it just had peanut butter and some fruit like bananas. It looked pretty easy and very tasty.
meatloaf and fried/baked chicken dusted in crumbs are foods that are good warm or cold. Good for school lunches too
Meatloaf can be made with ground turkey or ground chicken.
buy a large ham and slice it up in pieces and store it all sliced up in the refrigerators so the kids can make their own sandwiches or to fill their pita breads. Cut it up in smaller pieces to add to scrambled eggs or as a side dish for breakfast.
For the winter make wonderful meatball soup.
Just add garlic salt, one egg, and chopped onions to the ground meat.
Or just regular salt and the egg and leaving out the onions
Or just the egg to hold them together leaving out the salt and onions and the garlic salt
you can add tomato sauce for coloring and flavor if you want.
I always leave the tomato sauce out and eat it plain.
Boil the water
Add the meatballs to the boiling water.
The meatballs will be cooked in 10 minutes
Add whatever vegestables you like
This is one way my dog will eat the vegestables. She loves this soup..
very young children can easily eat this soup if you use turkey ground meat because the meatballs are so very tender which makes them easy for young children to eat. I find beef ground meat too tough and I'm an adult. LOL
Cook some dry beans and add ground meat or the ham to them for a warm meal. Or you can buy the whole plain canned beans and add your own ground meat or ham. Makes them taste like you cooked the beans fresh yourself.

Quesadillas are a very quick and easy meal or snack. Just put cheese on one of the tortillas and cover it with a second tortilla and warm it up on the grittle or pan. Later, you can add guacamole or anything else you want or eat them plain.
They sell toaster ovens that turn off by themselves when you set the timer. This could make it safer for kids to fix themselves something to eat.
Pita pizzas are deelicious. put whatever toppings you like over spaghetti sauce and cheese.I like fresh vegetables, tomato, peppers, whatever. Flour tortillas are great for quick breakfast too. Burritos with potato, egg and cheese, add fresh salsa, yum!
Corn tortillas are wonderful stuffed with leftover chicken and chiles, sour cream and cheese, baked a few mins. until cheese melts.
Cheese and crackers are good. so many combinations possible.
Celery spears and cream cheese . A stuffed apple is sooo healthy, split and core an apple, fill cavity with peanut butter and raisins, or cream cheese and chopped walnuts. Almost any fruit sliced and served with a cream cheese mixed with orange juice concentrate dip is yummy. Salads are good for lunch, put lettuce and vegetables in a container, put whatever meat and topping in separate container so as not to get soggy. add dressing just before eating.
My faves are chinese chicken, and tostada salads.
Now I have to raid the frige.
Tacos (reg and soft), burritos, quesadias
Pepperoni rolls (pepp rolled into crescent rolls) dipped in spag sauce
McD type pancake griddles
Microwaveable White Tower small burgers
Ad infinitum
keep forgetting to come back here with more thoughts.
Pigs in a blanket that can be cooked in your toaster oven. Pillsbury and maybe other companies make the blankets. They come in containers like the buiscuits. All you have to do is roll the hotdog.
Make hard boiled eggs ahead of time. Peel them and store them in the frig. They will be ready for the kids to make their own egg sandwiches. They can warm the eggs in the microwave over if they want them warm.
buy baby carrots for the kids to munch on. I hear kids love them.
Brief instructions for making hard boiled eggs.
put the eggs in a single layer in a pot. Add enough water to cover all the eggs by an inch. Turn on the burner and bring the water just to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and start timing. The eggs should cook for XX minutes.
I leave mine for about 12 minutes in the summer and 17 min in the winter. You will have to experiment to see what you like or try google.
To get the kids to eat their veggies, have them help prepare them.
