One question I get constantly from my SAH mom friends is: "What do you guys eat for lunch? I'm so tired of PB&J!"

Admittedly, we do eat our fair share of PB&J and PB&H (honey). But I do feel like we have a wide variety of lunch treats. Essentially, the more open you are to potential mess, the more options you have for lunch. Here are some of our favorites:

• (veggie) hot dogs
• (veggie) burgers
• burritos
• quesadillas
• mac & cheese
• soup (tomato and minestrone are our favorites)
• grilled cheese
• pasta salad (can be made in advance so this one is really convenient)
• (veggie) nuggets
• pizza (we have tiny do-it-yourself crusts so the kids really love making pizza)
• leftover wraps (whatever was for dinner last night thrown in a spinach wrap)
• BFL (breakfast for lunch - pancakes, eggs, etc.)
• cheese tortellini
• egg noodles w/butter

Yes, soup can get messy. And yes, their burritos always fall apart. But they get better at eating these tricky foods every time. I adore having lunch with my kids each day, here's hoping this post is inspirational to those of you who have hit a lunch-rut!
