Today's Tip: 2 Lunch Ideas for Kids!

Kids out of school for spring break = lunch at home...here are 2 alternatives to the hot dog/mac 'n cheese/chicken nugget lunch rut!

Pita Pizzas

Whole wheat pita rounds

Pizza sauce

Lowfat mozzarella cheese

Turkey pepperoni 

Chopped bell peppers

Spoon pizza sauce on pita rounds the later toppings, ending with cheese. Bake in a toaster oven or regular oven for 7-10 minutes at 375. 

Note: May also use tortillas instead of pita bread.  Loosely roll up & bake for a "pizza wrap".  Or, the Hungry-Girl Flatbreads work great for this. 

Roast Beef Roll-Ups

Whole-muscle Deli roast beef

1 serving Laughing Cow creamy Swiss cheese

Cucumber

Lay out a slice of roast beef & spread with cheese. Lay a strip or two of cucumber on the cheese & roll up. (Add other veggies or spinach if desired with cucumber.)

BLT Wrap Sandwich

2 slices bacon

Soft taco size plain or whole wheat tortilla 

1 wedge laughing cow cheese 

Lettuce 

Tomato 

Cook bacon in microwave according to package directions. Spread cheese onto tortilla & then layer bacon, lettuce & tomato. Roll up & serve.
