the ultimate back to school lunch list

The day has finally come. The kids are going back to school and you’re back to packing lunches. But don’t stress. We’ve got quick, snackable recipes plus grab-and-go snacking options that will fit perfectly into their backpacks. (And yes, you’ll still have time to write that embarrassing lunchbox note).

1. easy lunchbox--kabob

Any kid who brings kabobs to the cafeteria is going to inspire some major lunch envy. Simply fold up a few slices of their fav Dietz & Watson meat and cheese, throw in a veggie or two, stick them all on a skewer. For a lil’ kid friendly version, replace that sharp skewer with a pretzel stick and BOOM - lunch is served.

2. pre-sliced &--everything nice

Save your morning sanity with a lunch recipe that requires minimal effort. These meat and cheese roll-ups use Dietz & Watson's antibiotic-free Originals Smoked Applewood Turkey and Yellow Cheddar Cheese with lettuce, onions, avocado and a side of honey mustard for dipping. For picky kids, switch up the meat and cheese combo each day of the week. Believe us, we have plenty of varieties to choose from.
