Pack a Fun Lunch for Back-to-School: Waffle Sandwich

The last few weeks have been so busy and really have just flown by.  I’m struggling to accept that summer is almost over and that the kids are going to be heading back-to-school in just a couple of weeks.  I love sending something fun and different to school with the kids for lunch.  It can be such a bright spot in their day!  I also like to send a healthy lunch that I know they’ll enjoy.

Supplies:

  • whole grain bread
  • sliced cheddar cheese
  • sliced apples
  • a waffle iron
  • other snacks your child loves

How To Make A Waffle Sandwich:

Oil the waffle iron if necessary and place one piece of bread in the center of the iron.  Add sliced cheese and sliced apples to the bread.

Top the with the second piece of bread and close the waffle iron.  Let the sandwich cook until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Cut the sandwich into pieces and place in a sandwich container.

Place other healthy snacks into additional containers.  I packed pretzels, dried cherries, and celery sticks along with a bottle of fresh, cold, water.

Waffle iron grilled cheese is a fun twist on a traditional sandwich and the apple adds even more fruit servings to your child’s lunch time meal.

You can also add a special inspirational note in your child’s lunch or a surprise treat to let them know you’re thinking of them in the middle of their day when they are away at school.  Having something unexpected in their lunch can feel like a hug when you can’t be with them.

Do you add anything special to your child’s lunch or do you make unique that your child just loves?

    Great ideas for busy moms. I have packed my daughter’s meal every day for her entire “school” life and now for her at work. It’s a great way to show love and keep in touch.

    What a clever idea to make a grilled cheese sandwich with waffles. I can’t imagine a kid who wouldn’t love finding that in their lunchbox.

    My kiddo goes crazy for unique peanut butter and jelly. I try to pack something special in his lunch a few times a week.
