Kids School Lunch Box 1 – Cucumber Carrot Sandwich

Description

This is my first post under Lunch box ideas, starting with a simple sandwich which would suit both for breakfast and lunch.Coming up with lunch box ideas for kids is the most challenging job.. as many schools don’t provide with microwaving facility. So… this category will be updated with many kids lunch box ideas (with and without re-heating), adult meal planning, thermal lunch kit, power lunches, lunch box product ideas and tips.

Ingredients

1 slice 2% singles cheese any variety
1 dash Pepper powder (optional)

Instructions

Trim the crust off the bread and cut it diagonally making two triangles. Thinly slice carrots and cucumber. Cut one cheese single into two triangles and shred the lettuce. With one half of the bread as base, place the items in this order (1.half cheese, cucumber slices, carrot slices, shredded lettuce, sprinkle pepper powder, other half of the cheese and place the second bread slice on top.

Notes

      Jlakshmi, bought this box long back from ebay listings and its hard to find exact match as disney stuff change quite often. Here is a link for a similar one with curved corners though.

      There are similar shape box under Amazon but they don't have disney characters, instead they sell Japanese hello kitty, totoro, pokemon etc. If you prefer to use Amazon, pls use our store to support us. Thanks.

    Friends, If you don’t have like Ma’am’s lunch box better wrap the sandwich in the plastic wrap and put it in the lunch kit.

    In that lunch kit, arrange with ur kids favorite cup of fruit, yogurt/juice, sandwich and ketchup..Evening bag will be empy i guess ???

    Have a great day

      Kavi, unga kids bread ottikumnu complaint varum I guess. Got one solution for that, instead of toating white bread you can buy toasted bread (something similar to rusk ), it will be like biscuits, check the label for toasted bagel bites bread. Konjam expensive but good alternative. I will try to upload picture when I get it next time. Thanks.
