    Well if you are referring to sandwich fillings, perhaps Tuna, or Jam, Peanut butter, Other sandwich spreads (eg chocolate etc), cucumber sandwiches, homemade veggie burgers.. etc
     
    Additional snacks include fresh fruit, cheese cubes/slices, crackers, cookies, yogurt, fresh veggies, chocolate and chips (to add the non healthy variety Smile [:)]).

    You need to be careful with PB. It's certainly not allowed in our part of Qc., due to allergy concerns.

    Sliced fruits/veggies and dip were a favourite of DD1.

    I don't need to prepare lunches any more as the girls school has a canteen.

    I used to be such a sweet sweet thing
    Till they gotta hold of me.

    True... in DD's school, its ok for individual children, as long as nuts are not put into foods to share with the whole class.

    Dd isn't allowed to have PB sandwiches due to allergy concerns. She doesn't like tuna either, I am lucky though she loves veggies. I'm also going to buy her a thermos so she can take hot lunches to school. Thanks for the suggestions.

    HAve they started to remove cheese as well?

    They have been talking about pulling some of our local (Qc) brands due to listeria concerns.

    Yes they started to do that today, not due to the listeria concern. They are removing cheese because of salmonella.
