Found you through Tip Junkie. I’m always looking for ideas for my husband’s lunches.

Hi Katie,
Thanks for the welcome! I really like your blog!

Hi Kelly,
I’ve been reading yours for a while, too- it’s great.
Red capsicum are Red Peppers in the US (I’m an Aussie). They add nice bright color to the quiches.You can add whatever leftover meat/vegies you’ve got. And you can substitute the cream for quark/kefir cheese or something else similar.
Yes, they can be eaten cold, or better at room temperature. That quantity recipe made 24 mini quiches & 6 medium size!

Anita, what’s “red capsicum”?

I love this recipe – you had me at “eggs and cream”!

My favorite lunch nibbly snack is Mini Quiches.
I use 6 eggs, heavy cream, 1/2 cup plain flour, (lightly beaten with electric beater), 1 cup grated cheese, 1 onion & carrot- grated, some green vegetables, some red capsicum- chopped.
Mix lightly in a bowl, then spoon into greased muffin trays/patty pans, & bake 20 mins.
Great for breakfast on the go, or a filling lunch with tomato sauce & salad. YUMMY!

I was a teacher with lunch in my classroom, too, and many of the same thoughts ran through my head at lunchtime! One of my students constantly had digestive issues (read: he was always constipated and always had gas!) but he NEVER, not once in the whole school year, had any whole wheat anything or even any fresh fruit/vegetable. The closest thing he ever got to fruit was yogurt-covered raisins. CHOCOLATE yogurt covered raisins. His mom complained that he was “picky”.

We’re homeschoolers, but I still find myself drawing a blank at lunchtime – especially if we’re out of bread. So thank you for all the great ideas!

Do you have links to recipes for bean-based sandwich spreads? This is something I would like to start doing, but I’m a dunce when it comes to flavoring things, so I need some recipes to get me started.

Thank you for the wonderful tips on creating healthy lunches for our children. It can be so easy to get stuck in a rut when packing a lunch.

We recently moved to Barcelona from California. On my blog, I wrote a post about the typical school lunches at my children’s kindergarten and the public elementary school. Packed lunches always involve a thermos with several courses inside – salads, entree, fruit or yogurt for dessert. Even mini bottles of olive oil! Bought lunches at school are very healthy, fresh-made – stuff you would serve for dinner.

Looking forward to next week’s post!

I am so grateful for this post on packing lunches.
My teen enjoys healthy food and really appreciates when something interesting and different shows up for lunch.
