Lunchbox Recipes

Here are some possible ideas for your children’s school lunches, or for your work or school lunches.

Tortilla Roll-Up Ideas (I make Paleo tortillas):

(In each of these, you will spread the ingredients evenly, or lay ingredients flat, then roll it up. Place in container and slice if desired) (Update 2017 – what fillings you use will depend on the eating habits of your family. Some allow for limited cheese, others don’t.)

• nut butter and banana slices
• coconut cream and sliced strawberries
• coco bliss and kiwi slices
• cream cheese and pepperoni slices
• cheese and ham slices
• mustard and turkey/chicken slices
• mustard and hard-boiled egg slices
• cheese slices and ground beef with lettuce leaves and tomato slices

Soup/Stew Ideas:

(Cook each soup/stew in water, broth or stock. Just cut veggies and cook. Add peas and any seasonings at the end.)

• tomato, pepper, and zucchini
