Cedarblue- thought for you. I make my husbands lunch every morning and I get bored making the same thing all the time. Except after the X number attempt at creating variety he nicely asked me to cool it! He said he doesn't mind eating the same kind of thing every day for lunch, it was ME that was getting bored!
Now I pack the same thing everyday, based on what we have around the house. A fruit, a veggie, a container of nuts, a container of dried fruit, a peanut butter sandwich and 2 baked items (loaves, cookies, muffins, mini apple pies,etc.). The upside is that now the children can help pack it very easily.
We get lots of variety in our other meals of the day, that the repetition is not a health problem. Since I do the baking around here I can also increase health content in the baking if I think it's needed.
If you make a list of what she likes, and it's only 4 items long, then she eats those 4 items! I imagine her list would be longer than that however.
Cheers!
