Back to school Lunch-boxes

It's back to school time in Australia so it got me thinking I should post what I make for my husband to take to work every day. Maybe once a week I'll buy a fresh bread roll and put some ham or cold meat in it but usually it's this... his 'snack box' he calls it.  My girls have hot lunch provided at school so I don't need to prepare their lunch, which I am pretty disappointed about to be honest.  Not that they would jump at the chance to eat this sort of combination - WAAAY to many vegetables for them!

This is often what I do for myself too if I am busy running errands all day and know I'll be out of the house.  I also sit watching my girls do gymnastics for 2 hours twice a week so this is the perfect time to eat a late lunch snack box!

sugar snap peas, baby carrots, homemade turkey meatballs with
chipotle sauce, hard boiled eggs



Other common options and combinations are:
hummus
meatballs and sauce
poached chicken pieces
falafels and tzatziki
hard boiled egg
sugar snap peas
olives
blocks of feta or favorite cheese
baby carrots
6 slices of aged cheddar cheese and rice crackers
dried fruit - sultanas, apricots, yoghurt covered raisins
guacamole
celery sticks (with or without peanut butter)
cucumber sticks
cous cous salad with mixed veg
sliced deli meats: salami, ham, turkey breast, roast beef
