Handy, Budget-friendly Lunch Recipes

When you have a lunch box and an ice pack, anything goes.  You can carry anything around with you since the contents will be kept at adequate temperatures. 

So, for each lunch combine at least one food item from each of the Food Guide groups.

  1. Don’t forget to include grain products (whole grain bread, rice, cereal or pasta);
  2. Fruits and vegetables (preferably fresh, canned or juice);
  3. Dairy products (milk, chocolate milk, cheese or yogurt); and
  4. Meat and substitutes (meat, fish, chicken, eggs or legumes).

The Teen Club

Top a buttered slice of bread with 2 slices of ham.  Take another buttered slice, spread mayo on top, add cheese and lettuce, and put the sandwich together, while adding another buttered bread slice in between.
