3 Sandwiches to Pack for School Lunch

We are trying to find ways to make school lunch a good word in our homes, and our new Hormel Lunch Meat line does just that. They are all-natural products which means there is no guilt in feeding their products to your kiddos throughout the school year! That’s a #momwin for us.

Tips for making the perfect sandwich:

1. Toast the bread! Our kids love this because it makes their sandwich feel like more than just a school lunch. It is an easy addition to help get your kiddos excited for lunch.
2. Pack it deconstructed. Simply pack all the components for the sandwich in their lunch box (precut, sliced, etc), for them to put together.
3. Serve on lettuce. For those kids who are picky about bread getting soggy (can you blame them?!) try suggesting a lettuce-wrap sandwich. This is a win in the mom books since it’s sneaking in a healthy lunch, plus they will eat up their sandwich with no complaints.
