We have one more week and two days left of school. Not only does that mean figuring out things to keep the kids busy this summer, but also…what to feed them everyday!

Here’s a question sent in for Mailbag Monday: Summer is almost here and one of the most annoying things is finding alternatives to fixing the kids sandwiches every day for lunch. They get sick of it and I get sick of hearing them complaining. Do you have any ideas to get us out of the sandwich rut?

This can definitely be an annoying problem. You don’t want to feed your kids the same thing every day and you want it to be healthy. Throughout the summer, I will highlight some Summer Lunch Ideas for the Kids.

First up: Bagelwiches

A bagelwich is basically a sandwich, but they don’t need to know that! All they will see if something different than a loaf of bread.

What I do it spread a little bit of cream cheese on one side of the bagel, load it with meat, cheese and fresh spinach leaves and voila! – you have something different than a sandwich.

We also sometimes add bacon and red or green peppers. Just use your imagination and put on there whatever it is that your kids like. Have them come up with different bagelwich ideas and make it themselves.
