SCHOOL SHOPPING LIST GIVEAWAY!

My favorite lunch item was the school cafeteria’s teriyaki chicken bites. I’ve never had teriyaki before that and thought they were an amazing creation.

PIZZA! every friday was pizza day and it seemed that day of the week was the most magical… maybe it just meant that I was that much closer to saturday morning cartoons but the pizza for lunch definitely added to the excitement :p

At school, Friday pizza, of course!

My mom used to pack me really awesome lunches, all the way until I graduated high school 🙂 There would be left over spaghetti (so yummy cold), fresh fruit salad, home made cookies……but sometimes the best lunch was still just getting french fries from the cafeteria 🙂

Oh god, this is so embarrassing. See, I was a little obsessed with ketchup when I was younger [we won’t mention my love for it now…] so I’d start the day with ketchup on toast, and would always be happy when I got cheese and ketchup sandwiches in my lunchbox!
The shame.

PBJ. Probably with hummus and carrots. Maybe some fruit leather. I could totally still take that to school. p.s. I found your writings via the Joy the Baker podcast and I feel like I got a 2 for 1 extra special deal.

I liked school cafeteria pizza. Yikes!

My mom used to make this sweet soy chicken with rice and broccoli. It was the best. Apparently it was a hassle to make so she only made it once in awhile, but it was always the best day of the month when I would open my lunch box and see it in there waiting for me to eat. 🙂

I’ve been a vegetarian for 24 years, but I still fondly remember the salami, provolone, and brown mustard sandwiches my dad made me every morning.

I like the gross looking rice with brown sugar on top. Terrible looking but delicious.

What a cute giveaway! Egg salad sandwiches were always a lunch treat…usually reserved for field trips or other special days.

oh man I loved the little debbie snack cakes, brownies, or nutty bars in my lunchbox! Now I wouldn’t waste a calorie on those things! LOL;) I LOVE school supplies…as a former teacher turned stay a home mom sharpies are my best friend.

duuuude. this is the best giveaway I’ve ever seen on the internet. no lie.

all my favorite childhood lunch foods are so embarrassing now. jello cups. ding dongs. lunchables! i even remember looking forward to something our cafeteria called “crispitos.” which if I remember correctly were some kind of ground meat enchilada with yellow cheese sauce. yikes. just thinking about all that stuff now kind of makes me gag.

I loved (still do!) a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Skippy peanut butter with raspberry or strawberry jelly – yum! Also, I loved drinking Kool-Aid Purplesaurus Rex. While they no longer make it, it’s just grape and lemonade Kool-Aid mixed in equal parts. AND, the best part, is you can get both in a sugar-free version so you don’t have to feel bad about giving it to kids!

Love your website, photography and podcast with Joy! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!

This is a great giveaway! When I was a kid I loved plain PB&J sandwiches. My mom used to throw some homebaked cookies in my paper bag too. I loved it!

Once my mom got really fancy and packed me a thermos of warm tomato soup. Inside the soup was a hot dog with a string tied to the end. At lunchtime I pulled the hotdog out (using the aforementioned string) and plopped it in a bun and had a hot meal. I’m not sure I found it the tastiest lunch ever, but I loved the ingenuity.

My favorite lunch was an english muffin pizza with salt and vinegar potato chips, and a capri sun. I’m also a little ashamed to admit I had a weak spot for Lunchables . . . gross.

My favorite lunch was peanut butter and honey sandwhiches. I think I ate them every day of elemntary school.

Pizza and mac n’ cheese…OHhhhh and the applecrisp was delicious!

Every Friday we got ice cream as the dessert for our school lunch so my favorite thing would be the ice cream sandwiches that would sneak up on us one Friday a month!

I ate like a boy in high school, I generally had two breakfasts and I would eat my lunch then the left overs of everyone at my table haha, oh the shame. My Mom would always pack us fruit and healthy things (she was a good Mom but at the time I hated it) so my favourite was when someone offered me their Dunkeroos or Fruit By the Foot or any sugar coated, non-healthy treat of any kind. Jackpot!!

I liked the mashed potatoes the lunch lady scooped up with a ice cream scooper. What does that say about me??

Peanut butter and fluff sandwiches were my fav! With a Drake’s devil dog for dessert. Not the healthiest, I know, but it kept me full. By the way, this giveaway is TOO cute. I NEED those sharpies and pen case! 😉

I recall liking those gross microwaveable Chef Boyardee thingies. Shudder. But I also ate a fair amount of random sandwiches and whatnot.

It was totally chicken nuggets with bbq sauce and chocolate milk!

A plain old Bologna sandwich!

My mom would always make me a grilled cheese and tomato soup! Mmmm…

In elementary school, breakfast for lunch was always one of my favorites. My dad would visit me at school for lunch every once in a while and that was always the day he picked to eat lunch with me. 🙂

I always loved a good PB&J!

As a kid, homemade egg sandwiches! Now, hummus with veggies!
Would love these school supplies to kick off another year of law school!

I LOVE back to school shopping too. I still find myself walking through the isles and seeing what’s popular with the kids these days. And I always end up buying something for myself like a folder or notebook: ) I need to start having my own kids so I can buy more.

My favorite school lunch would be a turkey and mayo sandwich with a piece of lettuce, that by lunch time is a little soggy. Pure comfort food!

I love the items that you chose! I have no idea why but i used to love the school tacos!! I am glad my taste in food has grown 🙂

My favorite thing to eat was spagettios but only the ones with meat balls. Definitely not the ones with hot dogs in them.

I can still taste my bologna sandwiches that I would smash my chips into. Yummy! What I really wanted though, was my classmates’ butterscotch krimpets tastycakes. I was so very envious.

i’m so embarrassed… lunchables.

I always ate in the cafeteria when I was younger and my favorite day was always chicken sandwich day! They had a mustard similar to McDonald’s hot mustard.

At my school, pizza day was really exciting, but you never knew what kind of pizza you were going to get. My favorite was the rectangle pizza with white cheese, but sometimes they’d serve “stop sign” pizza. It was shaped like a stop sign (obviously) with violent orange cheese on top and it was just as awful as you’d think.

My favorite lunch was peanutbutter and fluff with banana with apple chips and preztles with a juice box.

My favorite thing for lucnh in elementary school was always pita and hummus, and tomatoes with salt. I was an odd child…

As a kid, I always love PB&J sandwiches and pretzel sticks.

It had to be peanut butter sandwiches cut into lots of tiny hearts using a cookie cutter. It was pretty much the only thing my mum could get me to eat in a packed lunch when I was 7. I was an odd child.

My mom made a great peanut butter and fluffer nutter sandwich, the puffy marshmallow creme stuff with the peanut butter! YUM!

We had wonderful cooks in our school cafeteria – mostly mothers and grandmothers of students. Every Thursday we had homemade chili and p-butter sandwiches. instead of jelly on the sandwich, they mixed the peanut butter with honey.

I had similar jealousy pangs walking through that aisle yesterday! My favorite school lunch was the taco salads in high school which was just a huge glob of beef on top of a crunchy bed of FRITOS. Looking back it seems gross but I was ALL about it. Still can’t eat a Frito without the memories!

I ate a pb&j everyday & never got tired of it! And I really appreciate that my mom packed my lunch & it always included a piece of fruit.

I’m from Germany, so instead of Peanut butter and Jelly, we had Nutella sandwiches. Those were a rare but much appreciated lunch option! My more commonly available lunch option was a rather plain salami sandwich. Toasted wheat bread with lots of seeds on it (makes the bread taste sort of nuttier), some butter, a slice of salami, and a slice of tomato with some salt on it. Nom, nom, nom!

Well Hells Bells Mama!

You went all out! This is SO cute!

Let’s see, My favorite school lunch… Would have to be Pizza Friday.
Second would be the chalupas and third was fave lunch was lemon lime fritos and a sprite. LOL. Everyday of 9th grade was just a bag of chips and a soda.

My favorite lunch was the mexican pizzas that were served in my cafeteria. Can’t find them anywhere else but they are on my to do list for baking experiments.
I miss school shopping too! Walking through Target I am always tempted to get the back to school stuff, but can never justify getting it. Also, fresh sharpie tips are one of my little joys.

I always loved a good on PB & J or tomato soup with goldfish cheese crackers – YUM! 🙂

My favorite school lunch was pizza. Hands down.

My hands-down favorite lunch was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a handful of Fritos crushed between the slices of bread. Crunchtastic. Ew! I also loved Hormel Chili, like, a lot. I’m happy to report that my diet has improved exponentially in the past 15 years. 🙂

When I was a kid, we’d occasionally get out of school around noon when the teachers had in-service. I’d come home and my mom and I would always eat the same thing on those days: we’d split an onion bagel and pair it with clam chowder. That became my favorite thing to eat – it was delicious, I got to hang out with my mom, and I didn’t have to be at school!

My favorite lunch my mom always made for me (even in high school!) was a half of a peanut butter and fluff sandwich with carrots and whatever cookie we had in the house. She would always put it in a Garfield paper lunch bag!

Most days I ate Turkey (just the meat), string cheese, carrots, an apple and OJ (ZzzZz) so I cherished the days that I got to bring a Pizza Lunchable to school.
Newsflash: those things are disgusting. I tried one as an adult when I was feeling nostalgic. Lunchables are NOT food.

My favorite lunch as a kid was probably not that good. It was those rectangular pizzas they served at school.

Definitely roast beef with cheddar cheese on a croissant. Kinda fancy, right? My mom would make it for me every morning then I’d pack it away in my little Hello Kitty lunch box with some grapes and perfect change to buy milk from the “milk cart.” Hmm….now I know what I want for lunch today!

I remember my elementary school desserts most—I loved Swiss Cake Rolls! Especially eating the outer chocolate layer first, and then slowly nibbling down to the center! That was the best 🙂

I always loved school supplies! I had some pretty random school lunches. I think my favorite was a bagel with cream cheese. Mmm, comfort food. 🙂

I used to love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and kettle chips. 🙂

cheesies, i loved cheesies, i would have to trade for them because my mom would never buy them.

hands down – all time favorite was/is Oreos 🙂

Peanut Butter and Jelly and Sour Cream and Onion chips. With one of those chocolate coated peanut butter crisp bars. Not the healthiest, but still my favorite at 24.

My favorite thing to eat when I first started school was a cream cheese and jelly sandwich.
I remember loving unwrapping my lunch from my brown paper bag and finding inside, little love notes from my parents.

I love cooking meals for my family and with my friends now – and often use your wonderful recipes as a guide! Yum.

peanut butter and chocolate chip sandwiches cut into shapes with cookie cutters!! 🙂

I always loved leftover pizza or a delicious whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and cucumbers. So so yummy!

I loved getting Chips Ahoy cookies in my lunch!

For years, grade through middle school, I ate a plain bagel with cream cheese and jelly at lunch time. I am starting graduate school next week, my tastes have changed a bit….but not much! 🙂

My poor mother had to make me a classic PB&J (crusts cut off of course) EVERY DAY cause it was the only thing I would eat! She tried to sneak some healthy carrots in there, but I don’t think I ever ate them. Now I can’t stand PB&J (haven’t had it in YEARS) and I love carrots ha ha!

My parents did not pack our lunches–we bought school lunch every day. My favorite thing to buy at school for lunch were sour cream and onion chips…and we used to put yellow mustard on them. Which sounds so weird for a kid to like, but I still kind of like it!

I love back to school shopping! I have no idea what my favorite lunch item was as a kid…I know I was always trying to trade with my friend who got candy bars every day in her lunch though! 🙂

Sloppy Joes!

What a fun stash!
For lunch I used to ask for a salmon sandwich every day until I got so sick of them that I hadn’t had another one until just this summer!

I honestly don’t remember what I liked to eat as a kid, however, my favorite middle school cafeteria lunch was salty french fries dipped in a chocolate milkshake. Oh, so healthy.

what a blast from the past! i loved reading through some of the previous commenters favorite lunch items. i think my favorite home-made lunch would probably be the standard peanut butter and jam sandwich, it’s such a classic! somehow i don’t think i’ll be taking those to university for lunch though…

we also had a fantastic student run cafeteria in high school and they made a mean pesto alfredo. those days were by far the best days at school! also, high school cafeteria is where i fell in love with soggy, lukewarm grilled cheese sandwiches. to this day i still can’t eat them hot!

My friends were always envious of the Bagel Sandwiches my mom would make … she’d toast the bagel, and top with cream cheese, meat, lettuce, sprouts, tomato … so delicious. She had the special touch because I haven’t been able to make one quite as good. Maybe because I don’t let it sit in my locker for 5 hours before I eat it.

That’s an invitation for a trip down memory lane… When I started school (too many years ago) my father asked me what sandwich do I want him to make. Little did I know that this answer will accompany me all through the next 12 years of school. I asked for a simple chocolate spread and this is what I had from then onward 🙂 Sometimes I envied other kids that had more interesting sandwiches, but when my mom made my sandwich and it wasn’t chocolate spread, I secretly missed my usual sandwich.

When I was a kid I loved tomato soup and peanut butter sandwiches, and of course you had to dip the sandwich into the soup!

Mmmmmmmm my favorite thing to eat was cooked pasta with butter melted into it, some salt and pepper to finish.

I love school supplies! my favorite thing for lunch when I was a kid? a grilled cheese sandwich!

i always had a bag of doritos & a dr pepper in my first year of high school since we couldn’t leave campus, give or take a snickers. it was normally a soft pretzel & a tigers blood sno cone in junior high. wow. healthy! XD going for my second degree in college, now i grab vitamin water & a container of different fruits or salad. what a change!

In elementary school our lunch ladies would make “walking tacos” which involved them opening a bag of frito lays and putting in taco beef, iceberg lettuce, and cheddar cheese.

I live in NYC now, and I can’t help but look back at these hilarious food inventions in small town Wisconsin with a lot of fondness.

A good old fashioned peanut butter sandwich with FLUFF and CHIPS on the sandwich!!

My favorite lunch was when my mom would bring me a surprise happy meal!

Oh, I love back to school shopping. If I don’t win, maybe I’ll just go buy a bunch of school supplies for fun.

My favorite lunch, which my mom packed until the day I graduated high school (with a note in every one), was a turkey and provolone sandwich with pepper. That’s it. To this day I hate condiments, although I will include lettuce and tomato now…

In Finland, we got a warm meal at school every day. The menu was pretty good, although I didn’t think that way back then.

My favorite thingy was fish fingers with sour cream sauce 🙂

I loved Nutella sandwiches. Whenever I had them I was the envy of the whole class. You could always count on kids crowding around my desk saying, “You have CHOCOLATE for lunch?!” They’re just so yummy. . .

that photo makes me dizzy with joy, tracy!
school lunch as a kid: steak’umm sandwich day
packed lunch as a kid: peanut butter and honey
school lunch as a teacher: taco salad day
packed lunch as a teacher: leftovers and an apple

i was always soooo jealous of the kids who got to leave 5 minutes early to get get hot lunch…but then whenever they came back with plates of goo, glop, and yuck i was delighted to open up my KNOTB lunch box to find apple chips, cream cheese and grape jelly sammie circles (sandwiches cut in circles), trail mix and orange slices. I knew my mom loved me more than those lunch ladies ever would 🙂

White bread thinly spread with butter and sliced fresh, ripe strawberries. No crusts, of course!

This was pre-vegetarian but: ham, cheese, pickle, and ketchup on white bread.

But the BEST was after Thanksgiving. I have always hated cold-cut turkey but I love leftover turkey. My mom would make a larger turkey and I would eat turkey sandwiches for a month. (She would freeze it)

Remembering this is going to make it harder being vegetarian!!

Wow! What an amazing giveaway. I’m going “back to school” (for the third time), so I would love to win this one! My favorite lunch was homemade macaroni and cheese and fish sticks. My mom always made that for me after I got home from morning kindergarten. Those were the days!

Awesome! I also loved back to school shopping especially since my parents paid for everything, too bad those days are over. As a kid for lunch I would always have lunch from the cafeteria and I loved, loved, loved chalupas! I don’t know why because now I think back to how greasy and kind of stale the tostada part was. Back then though, a delicious chalupa with lots of “hot” sauce and some chocolate milk was my favorite meal that the school offered.

lunchables! when i think about that now, it seems totallly disgusting, but my parents rarely packed my lunch and my school had a decent hot lunch (i loved the mac n cheese). i would get to have lunchables on field trips and other special days.

I am a bit obsessed with back to school supplies, and I think my two young daughters have inherited this obsession! I loved nothing better than gathering up all my new supplies before the first day of school. And for lunch, my mom used to make me a sandwich that loved — cream cheese with sliced green olives on wheat bread. I loved it!

French toast sticks, to dip in syrup! It was the only hot lunch I liked getting.

I loved school lunches. The grosser the better (except grilled cheese sandwiches and cheese pizza blocks)! I’m kind of sad at how healthy (jest) and food-like school lunches have become… I, uh.. also like hospital food and airplane food :/

My favorite thing to eat for lunch when I was a kid was the sandwich that my friend always brought made by her mother. My grandpa always made my lunch sandwiches and well he didn’t understand that you cannot put the wet items, i.e. tomatoes, pickles, ect. next to the bread. So by the time I got my sandwich out of the bag at lunch time it was soggy. Luckily I had a friend willing to share her sandwich with me.

My most commonly consumed lunch was the classic peanut butter and jelly on white bread with the crusts cut off. But what I really liked the most was cream cheese and raspberry jam on a graham cracker followed by candy. I loved candy – still love candy.

Tunafish sammich on sourdough, can of Pepsi, and potato chips!

If the lunch was at or from home, my favorite thing to eat for lunch as a kid was canned ravioli’s. I loved those things…and didn’t get them very often. My favorite cafeteria lunch food was pizza, or hamburgers. 🙂

I was a school lunch buyer, which sometimes left me pretty disappointed. My favorite lunch that I always looked forward to was peirogies! They were sooooo good, loved those noodle pockets filled with potato! And so greasy!

Every morning at 7am my dad would whip out the panini maker and make me a turkey pastrami and swiss sandwich. Ooooh my goodness. So unbelievably delicious. Crispy bread with melted swiss layered withing slices of turkey. Nothing could have been a better. Although I’m now a vegetarian, I still crave these bites of nostalgia *sigh*

THE ONLY THING I ever ate for lunch as a kid were red seedless grapes. Seriously. I took a bag for lunch (and then ate two cups after dinner). No wonder I didn’t grow past 5 feet tall

I think my favorite thing to eat when I was a kid was the Jack n Jill ice cream sandwiches from the school cafeteria. I didn’t get one too often, but when I did, it was a delicious treat.

I always ate school lunches, but my favorite was chili and cinnamon rolls!

Little Debbie’s. My mom would only buy them during the school year and they were so good to me because I only got them a certain time a year.

Pepperoni pizza. Macaroni and cheese. Chili con carne. Cheese hotdog on a stick. Burritoes. All with a side order of green beans! Yums

I loved when we had CapriSun and Fruit by the Foot. I could make that foot of sugar last so long and I felt so cool when my tongue was a bizarre color.

oh my goodness, mac and cheese beyond a doubt. my brother and I would make boxes and boxes of the Kraft goodness.

believe it or not, it was actually ramen noodles. my mom had such a way with them it was a wonderfully new dish every day of the week 🙂

My favorite thing to eat for lunch when I was a kid were those pizza lunchables! So fun and so delicious! 🙂

Boloney Sandwich on white bread with mayo–yech!
I LOVE school supplies!

my soccer mom would pack me a fruit drink that probably contained no fruit juice, greasy salty chips, fruit snacks that probably contained no fruit, a lunch meat sandwich containing only meat, mayo and bread, no fruit or vegetables and a dessert like a hostess cupcake.

best mom ever? yes, best lunch ever? no, but i forgave her in the end.

all the kids were envied the amount of sugar.

Our cafeteria always had a special dish of the day and an “alternate”. I always loved when the alternate was a Lebanon Bologna sandwich (which was often). I had to get that. Every time. And days that Mom gave me $.50 for an ice cream sandwich were the best days ever.

Probably the school pizza or chicken nuggets. Oh to not care about being healthy!

All the cool kids had Lunchables, so naturally, that’s what I wished I had for lunch! Plus, sometime about those neat little compartments of meat, cheese and crackers really appealed to me…
My favorite lunch time treat was a frozen juicebox – ice cold and still slushy by lunch time!

I used to be the official snack maker in the family -I’d make cookies, brownies, muffins… yoyos were probably my favourite. I love back to school shopping too!

I’d go for a peanut butter/ nutella/ banana sandwich anyday. The best.

I loved the school mac and cheese, I went to a really small school and the cook made everything from scratch, it was delicious!

I love buying stationery supplies, I’m an uber geek. I also don’t like when my stuff gets messy!

Actually I didn’t eat at school often as we lived really close by school. However in my final years I did stay there often and my favourite if I had a hot meal was the school’s spaghetti. We had really good lunch at school. Lucky.

Spaghetti Day! Either that or Pizza Fridays when I was allowed to have chocolate milk for lunch instead of regular.

Leftover pizza. Cold. Still might be a favourite, to be honest! Plus chocolate milk in little bags, that sit on the desk while you stab them with a straw, then sip away.

My favorite thing to eat for lunch when I was a kid… hmm… not the school lunch, that’s for sure!

My mom used to wake up in the morning and make soup for me. She would put it in a thermos so it would stay warm until I had lunch. Usually tomato soup. And for some reason I loved cheese sandwiches with miracle whip. I also always got some sort of chocolatey treat, like a nutty bar or these cookie peanut butter things covered in chocolate. So not good for you, but they were yummy!

🙂

P.S. I’m a teacher and I could really use all of these supplies.

I would say my favorite thing to eat would be whatever I traded for – usually tastycakes! Or pizza day on Fridays – that delicious square pizza that can only taste good in the context of a school cafeteria 🙂

My favourite thing to take for lunch as a kid was peanut butter and jam on whole wheat bread. My parents had me pack my own lunch, so I’m not sure whether it was my favourite because I liked it or just because it was easy to make. I loved baking cookies to go in my lunch, too.

School Cafeteria Pizza – I still think about it!

Everything On A Plate!!! Was, and still is my favorite meal. Okay, cafeteria pizza and salad drenched in Italian dressing was pretty great. And so were chicken patties; though I have now traded those for Chix Patties. But Everything on a Plate – as my Aunt Ginny called it – was the best. Cheese, bologna, dipping mustard etc. You could roll your cold cuts into tubes. Awesome!

Oh man… string cheese in my lunch box. And ham and cheese sandwiches. I toughed out the crusts. That was stellar right there. Mom used to draw pictures on a paper towel with little cartoon dinosaurs and doggy superheros for me. I was the coolest little girl at the table (even though no one else knew it).

Favorite thing to eat for lunch was PIZZA! I loved bringing leftover pizza to school, wrapped in foil. Yum! I also enjoyed school spaghetti day because they made garlic “bread” out of hamburger buns with butter and garlic. I’m sure it had TONS of butter, and that’s why I loved it, but it was sooooooo good.

I was always over the moon on the very rare days I got to buy lunch from the school cafeteria. It seems horrifying to me now, but I definitely preferred those awful school lunches (no matter what they happened to serve) to whatever my mother prepared for me. It wasn’t that they necessarily tasted better, but at the time it felt much more glamorous to be able to buy my lunch than bring it.

P.S. Thank you for this awesome giveaway, Tracy! 🙂

Peanut butter and jelly. Always. I was a picky eater (thank goodness that phase ended) till I was about 13, and I didn’t hold with such things as sandwiches that had actual meat and actual lettuce and tomato on them. Same goes for yogurt, carrot sticks, and every other lunch box staple. But peanut butter and jelly (grape, of course) on white bread (no seeds!), squished underneath my thermos so that the jelly bled through and turned the bread purple. That was my idea of a gourmet meal. I think my elementary school self would be horrified to see the current me eating things like tofu and figs and spinach.

My school had three separate lunch periods, and I was in third lunch, with none of my friends. My sweet parents would take turns coming to school during my lunch hour, sometimes with a packed lunch, or sometimes they would take me to Yoshi’s, the fast teriyaki place down the street, and they would eat with me in the car in the parking lot.
Lunches with company are the best lunches ever, it doesn’t matter what the food is. 🙂

I use to love Pizza on fridays!!

When I was in grade school I always took my lunch, except for a couple of certain meals that were served in the hot lunch program. My Favorite was the diced turkey and gravy, served over mashed potatoes. Don’t ask me what they served with it. I couldn’t tell you if I tried, but I can tell you that those were the days my parents were willing to come to the school and eat with me as well…I have fond memories of that meal.

My go-to lunch was PB and J but my favourite special lunch was one of those little pizzas from McDonald’s. The ones that took forever to make so that by the time you got yours it was time to go back to school and it was too hot too eat. Lol the things we do for love.

I can’t believe my parents allowed this, but I was a big fan of bringing triscuits and that bright orange WisPride spread cheese for lunch. To this day, I still love that stuff.

Sliced tomato on whole wheat bread with mayo. I ate it just about every day for lunch from May to September. The perfect sandwich!

bagel and cream cheese, carrot sticks (before days of baby carrots), apple and star-crunch (a little debbie snack). coins in my lunch box for milk!

Sounds gross, but it was oddly tasty…. chopped olive sandwich. So it’s chopped olives held together with my old friend mayonaisse. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm… on white bread, in my Snoopy lunch box. Yes, I am a child of the 70’s. 🙂

As a child I was completely obsessed with top ramen with poached eggs. Delicious.

Well I will be a junior in high school starting tomorrow, so I still enjoy this 🙂 my favorite lunch is a turkey sandwich with lettuce pickles and mustard, an apple (preferably pink lady), chips, and a pudding cup 🙂

Should I admit this? … Ketchup sandwiches… Thats ketchup spread between 2 pieces of bread. I cant believe my mom let me eat those.

Just jelly! I was scared to try peanut butter and was convinced I did not like it so my sandwiches were, “Just Jelly!!”

Almost every day in highschool my friend Echo and I would zip back to my house for toasted bagel sandwiches with sliced turkey breast, sprouts, cheese, tomato and avacado…yum.
