I pack their lunch, and they do not have a microwave to warm up their food; this makes their lunch meal unpleasant. They are tired of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Please give some advice on alternatives… " http://www.vegetarianbaby.com/magazine/articleindex.html Melanie Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Melanie...thanks so much for asking this question cause i have been wondering the SAME thing. I have a 5 year old...and school has only been in for what a couple of weeks and i'm ALREADY having trouble figuring out what to make for lunches. They aren't allowed to use the microwave at his school this year . So that makes it even harder. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 GREAT article. Thanks so much! Very timely, considering my 1st grader took the same lunch to school 4 days last week! Trin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 This is probably pretty obvious.. but I make sandwiches to take to work for myself. I ate a lot pb & j as a vegetarian kid. In today's world I don't think its necessary.. LiteLife, Yves, Tofurkey all make vegetarian deli slices.. so my child and I can have vegan versions of bologna, turkey, ham, salami, etc. Enough variety to have a different type of sandwich everyday of the week. (though I notice that they don't last very long so unless you have a couple of children you and your child might be eating the same type sandwich pretty often just so they don't go bad before the package is finished). On my sandwiches I put about 3 slices of the veggie meat and 1 slice of soy cheese. One of each for my child. Fill the lunch box with juice, fruit (banana, apple, orange) and sandwich. I believe there is also a company that makes a vegetarian version of lunchables.. I've not tried these.. but it might be a good idea for some variety.
