Sandwich Slump

So after many years of school and work my husband is sick of sandwiches. Especially since the last couple of years he has not had a work place with a microwave so I cant send leftovers or soup. Over the years I have tried to think of different types of sandwiches or other food I can send that add variety. I thought I would share, and feel free to share other ones with me!

Meat - I think I have had him try every type of deli meat in the store!
Peanut Butter & Banana - the key to this one is to make sure there is peanut butter on both pieces of bread so the banana is completely encompassed
Chicken Breast - slice up a leftover chicken breast for a different type of texture to deli meat
Peanut butter & Jam
BLT - good old bacon, lettuce and tomato


Instead of bread, try using a pita pocket or a tortilla

Salad: I throw as much as I can into a salad to make it as filling as possible. Such as lettuce; tomato; cheese; carrots; bacon bits; croutons; slice hard boiled egg; or pretty much anything else! I do send the croutons and the dressing in a seperate container.

Hard boiled eggs or devilled eggs. Still gives him protein but is a change from sandwiches.

Popcorn - pre-popped popcorn, but only as a partial meal.
Crackers & Cheese - also only a partial meal.

Hopefully if you are stuck for ideas in adding variety to your packed lunches maybe you have taken away a few, and once again, if you have anything to add, please do!
