Out of the Lunch Box: 5 Alternatives to PB&J

September 23, 2010

It's time to think out of the lunch box! When it comes to edible classics, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a staple in most children's diets. But the daily entree of nut paste and sweet spread on bread can get old. We asked chef Catherine McCord, founder of Weelicious and mother of two, to select some of her finest kid-friendly alternatives to the standard sandwich. Check out her delicious options that are quick to prepare and bound to become household favorites!
Lil's new mouthwatering Out of the Lunch Box feature continues in September with celebrity chefs and restaurateurs creating their ultimate sandwiches for elementary school kids. We can't wait to serve up all the amazing recipes!

these suggestions are terrific. Thank you! We also love making kebabs with cheese and fruit for a fun, nut-free, non-sandwich alternative. Another fave of my 6 yr old is homemade (non-fish) sushi. She absolutely loves assembling everything herself -- we make it with egg and avocado -- and it can be done the night before. For a super easy recipe, see here: http://lalalunchbox.com/blog/homemade-sushi-easy-and-delicious
