I know, where was this post 8 months ago?
Dinner leftovers that make great kids’ lunches is the kind of information that would’ve been useful…earlier.
These so-simple lunch ideas for kids will get us through the remaining weeks of school and don’t worry. Kids will still want lunch again in September, or August when our school begins again.
Every dish here is delicious served cold and transports well:
- Cornbread, especially our bacon-topped cornbread squares
- Homemade Pizza
- Easy Ham & Egg Quiche
- Cous Cous Salad with Shrimp & Cucumbers
- Veggie Calzones
- Cheeseburger Hand Pies
- Pasta Salad with Tomatoes, Basil & Mozzarella Cheese
- Lemon Chicken Strips
- Quesadillas (with a Secret Good-for-You Ingredient)
- Pork & Pineapple Skewers
Happy packing!
And if anyone needs me, I’ll be watching the rest of “The Wedding Singer” because, posterity.

So smart! Lemon chicken served cold. My kids will totally gobble this up. Though I may need to prepare extra in order to actually have leftovers. 🙂
Ann, if you do make a little extra, try one or two chicken fingers cut up on a salad for yourself. It’s such a nice lunch. (Also the chicken in marinade freezes well if you throw it in the freezer before you cook it. Think of how lemony it’ll be when you thaw the zip-top bag and grill it later on.)
Yum. These look like good dinner turned lunch ideas for me too. Thanks for the healthy and easy ideas!
Lou, since I work at home I almost always eat leftovers but these beauties have the added benefit of being easy to transport as well. Enjoy!
