Cooking Games and School Lunches

If you're not a huge fan of school cafeterias (and who is?) you probably want to take some time to play around with the possibilities of some new lunch ideas for the school year. This year your cooking games don't have to involve much more than sandwich bags and perhaps a thermos, but yummy school lunches are not beyond your grasp and they certainly can cost less than the cafeteria version as well.

In your school lunch, you should be thinking first about protein. Protein is what you need for energy throughout the rest of your day. What can you eat to get your daily dose of protein? You might try a soup with some meat and beans inside, a cold wrap full of chicken and beans or even a peanut butter sandwich. All other items in your cooking games should compliment your protein selection to be sure that you're getting as many good, healthy nutrients as possible before you head to your next class.
