*NEW* LUNCHBOX IDEAS FOR BACK TO SCHOOL! Easy Sandwich Alternatives | Emily Norris

[@katecameron2693]

Hope everything goes well for all you who have children going back to school. Mine are all grown up now but I feel it remembering past times. You are all lucky to have great help, ideas and support from people like Emily xx

[@gemmamartin5157]

Thank you so much for these ideas! I have a fussy 10 year old autistic daughter who is now fed up with what she normally has and is starting to get interested in trying more 'grown up' food. Maccy cheese, tomato pasta, homemade chicken nuggets and scotch eggs are all new faves! I'm going to browse more of your videos for more ideas. Her school is also nut free and she will have school dinner maybe 2 or 3 days a week depending on what's on the menu. x

[@xMANOUKx]

Love this! I’m a teacher and I might just use these example lunch boxes for myself🤣

[@mrsemilynorris]

Ah amazing. Best of luck going back. Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx

[@sarahmason1093]

Same here!!

[@bea1824]

Same here! 🤟🏻

[@caseyizzy4997]

I watched this video with my husband in the room and he looked at me and said "She is the only person I've ever heard who sounds like a mom. Like I feel like she's my mom and she's talking to me." LOL We love you in this house Mama Emily!

[@sharoncolwell2267]

Great new ideas for people stuck in a rut like myself, thankyou. I hear you about the nut thing, my son has an Epipen due to his severe nut allergy. I am a TA and my school along with many many others does have a nut free policy in place. From experience ( 17 years ) those that put nut / peanut butter in pack lunches are new to the school experience and on most occasions , once it is pointed out to them, they are very respectful and accepting of the reasons why the policy is in place.. xx

[@pew9277]

Thanks for the lunch idea's. Going to be using these for my grandchild. We are home schooling right now but can still use these. Take care.

[@mrsemilynorris]

Wow I hope they help! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx

[@nikkiblack422]

Im long past being in school but I’m a hair stylist and this video is my BIBLE to make sure I don’t overspend on the many restaurants all around my workplace

[@seetalpardesi2590]

I am a mum of 3 just like you Emily! I just started watching your videos and they are so helpful with life!

[@izabelam9416]

Perfect timing for me! My son loves soups for lunch and obviously won’t be able to take them to preschool and was wondering what else besides sandwiches I can take. I’m glad that many ideas don’t have diary- my son is allergic so it makes it just a bit more harder to be creative. Loved the video as always 💕

[@LucyakaMom]

Love how you “hide” the veggies inside the mini burgers! Such a great idea!

[@mrsemilynorris]

I hope it works for you Lucy! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx

[@irmabronder]

Have a good start with your boys Emily. Thank you for the ideas. The bento box ideas will be great for after school in the bus with houmous and carrots and breadsticks to dip. Better than sweets or bars. My kids get hot meals at school. But the schools might start with bread or pasta pots. Much love. xx

[@mrsemilynorris]

Thank you so much for watching and stay safe Irma xx

[@mummyofthreeteam8319]

So glad you did this before the kids go back It’s given me so many ideas for them going back Thanks Emily xx

[@mrsemilynorris]

Ah great to hear Vikki. Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx

[@jaydakhatun9942]

Really needed some inspiration,Thank you so much for the ideas will definitely try them out. I liked the indoor picnic idea we usually do this as a tradition during Ramadan and the kids love it and look forward to it.

[@laurengracejenner7470]

Just made the mini burgers to try before my kids start school and nursery, absolute hit! Thank you Emily x

[@clareashton1834]

My toddler is going to love some of these. She's so fussy. These lunches are fab, I'd love these! X

This video came at just the right time! 😍 we have been in a rut with our lunches!! Emily is always coming through 🙌🏻

[@mrsemilynorris]

Ah I hope the kids like them. Thank you so much for watching and stay safe Arina xx

[@itsreeah2663]

Cheese strings and vegetable crisps are nice. Im not a kid but I love the taste of those crisps, and they are made from vegetables which make them more healthy. Another good one is couscous or maybe fried rice, but it's better for older kids or kids that have access to a table. It's also a great and healthy one to bring into work, as you can use fish/meet, cheese, vegetables and even some seeds, which mean that you're putting more good stuff in the main meal, so we can eat more chocolate!!!

[@mrsemilynorris]

Thanks! Thank you so much for watching and stay safe xx

[@itsreeah2663]

@@mrsemilynorris ur welcome. I hope u and the boys have a nice first day back at school. Stay safe

[@corinagoodale1014]

Hello Emily. I have just subscribed to your chanel as my my 4 year-old can frequently be quite fussy when eating her meals. Having said that, both my children are eating fruit and veg for Britain!😁 I have come across the school packed lunch sandwich replacement ideas. I think they're great! Many if tge recipes you have presented I've known since my own childhood but managed to somehow forget about them. So I would like to day thank you for all the ideas! 😊

[@chantellei8866]

Keep being amazing and keep smiling, love your videos ✨✨

[@sophieb283]

So helpful thank you! 🙏 here in NZ we have to make kids lunches every day (regardless of Covid) and I’m def stuck in the sandwich trap! 🥪 going to try some of these and hopefully my 6 yr old will start to open up to eating different things other than sandwiches and wraps! Thank you and good luck to you for the kids going back 💙

[@sarahfrancescutti9873]

Great idea to try rice cakes and homemade quiche!

[@Siennasmith.]

I buy frozen pretzel breadsticks from Aldi. Let them thaw a few minutes and cut them in 5-6 pieces. 9 min. in the oven and you have little pretzel balls....

I like to make batches of toddler muffins (banana or carrot muffins are favorites and can be made without added sugar) and freeze them to throw in as a snack if i run out of ideas

We're the other way around. Our little one is in nursery and they are encouraging hot dinners rather then taking packed lunches. Really need to get a bento box though. Keep meaning to and never get round to it 🤣 x

[@inesgarciagao]

As a 32 year-old who is struggling to find easy but healthy lunch and dinner options to take to work (for herself), my heart really needed this. ^^ Also, the way you pronounce the ch every single time to say sandwiches had me giggling all the way through the video. =P

Hi Emily I have bought my son a blue lunchbox like this thank you for ideas x

[@mrsemilynorris]

Thank you so much for watching and stay safe Amy xx

[@lara_xy]

Question: How do you know how much to much to pack depending on their age? And I have a recommendation for an easy lunch idea: a wrap with hummus, falafel or chicken pieces, tomato and salad which can be rolled up and then cut in half and perhaps wrapped for easy eating (if they eat visible veggies)

[@Sonja...]

Yum

[@bluesouthpaw6326]

That sounds delicious enough for me to eat.
