A lot of the foods we're used to eating piping hot can also be eaten cold (think of the peas and beans served at salad bars). <BR/><BR/>When veggies are cold he likes to pick them up and eats them as finger food (not the daintiest thing to do, I know, but hey, he's eating them!). He can also grab them and snack on them right from the fridge.<BR/><BR/>Hi, France -- thanks & welcome! Yes, I toss the apple slices with orange juice. Shmoo found lemon juice "too sour". Natural citrus soda also works.<BR/><BR/>Hi, Harmonia -- I love cannellini beans! I like them as a hummus-like puree for dipping, or made into bean burger patties, or (my fav) cooked with fresh rosemary and lots of garlic and served with crusty french bread.

I like to do what I can the night before; for this one I assembled the pastries the night before and refrigerated them, then pulled them out and baked them in the morning.

Of course, being a stay at home mom I have more time. My daughter only has 25 minutes for lunch (only because she brings her lunch does she get more time! Go figure!) so I usually pack a little extra in her containers. She eats at 11:30 and doesn't get home til 4:45 so she's starving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1138329285919907412006-01-26T18:34:00.000-08:002006-01-26T18:34:00.000-08:00I, too, use a laptop lunchbox and I find that if I...I, too, use a laptop lunchbox and I find that if I were to pack the containers full of food, I would have more than enough for both snack and lunch.
