Super Sandwiches to the Rescue
Super Sandwiches to the Rescue
(Family Features) - Supermoms (and dads) often find themselves struggling when it comes to putting together great tasting, nutritious school lunches. Time, money and the same old routine can put a good lunch in danger.
But with a few new ideas and the right ingredients, it's possible to save lunch - and save money. Brown bagging lunch can save up to $2,000 dollars a year, according to a study by leading market research company NPD Group. So it's worth it to rethink the lunch bag and pack up some delicious savings.
The makers of new Hillshire Farm Family Size Lunchmeat Tubs have some simple ideas and easy recipes for rescuing lunch - and the budget.
Let Kids Make their Own
Pack lunchmeat, bread, lettuce and condiments in separate containers-kids love when they can build their own sandwich.
Say Goodbye to Soggy
Pack lettuce and tomatoes in a separate container so bread won't become soggy by lunchtime.
Think Outside the Bread
Cut a variety of deli meat flavors into small squares and pack with crackers. It's a healthy (and less expensive) take on that packaged grocery lunch.
The New Shape of Fun
Remove crusts from bread and use cookie cutters to cut out different shaped sandwich every day.
Choose Variety for the Whole Family
Try a variety of deli meat flavors to keep things interesting. An economical way to do that is with the Hillshire Farm Family Size Lunchmeat Tubs, which offer twice as much quality lunchmeat. That allows you to make eight sandwiches per package. The containers are double sealed for freshness to ensure the quality lunchmeat - made with no by-products or artificial flavors - makes only the tastiest sandwiches for your family!
Save the kids from boring sandwiches - with a little creativity, a super lunch can come to the rescue.
