School Lunch Ideas

Crispy Chicken Sandwich

I liked crispy chicken sandwich the moment I first tasted one. I felt like it’s the new way of conveniently eating fried chicken – between two slices of bread.

Mc Chicken Sandwich, Wendy’s Chicken Sandwich, and KFC Chicken Sandwich all tastes good and have the crispy texture that I always wanted. Because of my attachment to crispy chicken sandwiches, I decided to play with different recipes until I arrived at a recipe that stands above the rest.

This sandwich is a great idea for breakfast or lunch – even heavy snacks. The thing that I like most about this specific recipe is its simplicity. It is not complicated to make. All I needed was boneless chicken breasts, some salt and pepper, all purpose flour, egg, mayonnaise, and some sliced lettuce. Let’s not forget the Hamburger bun.

Turkey Sandwich

Turkey Sandwich is another good idea for your kid’s school lunch. Turkey meat is rich in protein and low in fat. This can help supply your child’s daily protein requirement by a huge percentage.

There are two kinds of turkey meat that you can use. The common and most available is the deli turkey meat. This can be bought in your local deli shop or grocery and is always available whole year long. The other type of meat is the one carved from roasted turkey. You can only grab hold of this type of meat after you roast a turkey. Although some groceries sell this type of meat, it is not as common as the deli turkey meat.

BLT Sandwich

BLT stands for Bacon Lettuce and Tomato. This is a type of bacon sandwich wherein bacon is served either well-cooked or extra crispy. For bacon lovers, this sandwich is without a doubt the most genius invention placed between slices of bread.

Both my kids love bacon. Whenever I make BLT sandwich for their school lunch, I am confident that there will be no left-over in their lunch boxes. Yes, they finish everything even the lettuce and tomato. Being my ultimate taste testers, it gives me the feeling of accomplishment whenever they finish every food that I prepare for them.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Ham and Cheese Sandwich is probably the most common type of sandwich around. In fact, being common made this sandwich the top selling sandwich of all time.

Each of us might have prepared countless Ham and Cheese Sandwich versions at this point. I don’t mean to change the way you prepare your Ham and Cheese sandwich; neither do I want to tell you that this is the correct method, because there is no such thing. What really matters is the fact that you made your Ham and Cheese Sandwich the way you want it, and enjoyed having what you created.

Roast Beef Sandwich

Hello everyone! I’m excited to release this first post about our new section here in Panlasang Pinoy which I am calling “School Lunch Ideas”.

Through this new section, you will be able to pick different food ideas that you can apply for your child’s school lunch – or even your own.

I am envisioning this section to hold a wide array of lunch ideas that ranges from the simplest sandwich and rice meals all the way to sushi and other more sophisticated lunches. Just like in our recipe posts, I encourage everyone to share their thoughts and ideas because everyone benefits from them and it gets the conversation going.

This post is all about Roast Beef Sandwich. This sandwich can be expensive and tedious to prepare; but, you can save a lot of money while enjoy your great-tasting sandwich with the right knowhow and a little imagination.
