School Lunch Ideas!

I am really hoping everyone has a great transition back into a new school year! The best way to make it through a long school day is to be properly nourished, weather it is a cafeteria lunch or a packed lunch from home! We are here to tell you all the ways we can help you with packed lunches! We have a few ideas to share with you, so that you can provide a delicious and nourishing lunch for your student. Let’s get into what I have in mind!

The most typical sack lunch contains a sandwich of some sort, right?! Well we have you covered when it comes to fresh and delicious sandwich meat! Weekly we smoke turkey, pork, and beef that gets cooked to perfection, sliced in a thin way that is perfect for deli sandwiches, and packaged for us to sell in our retail store. Our smoked turkey breast, sandwich pork loin, and roast beef would make delicious sandwiches for any age, good fresh meat filled with flavor! However, if you are looking to stray away from this normal lunch option, our deli meat can be used in other delicious ways! Meat and cheese roll ups are the perfect way to fill your young students lunch. It is such an easy snack to prepare, but is filling and super yummy! Just choose your favorite kind of deli meat and your favorite kind of cheese. We have a very wide selection of cheese right here at Miller’s Meat Market! Thinly slice your cheese, and lay one slice of cheese on a singular piece of sandwich meat. Roll it up and pack a few roll ups in your child’s lunch! A great no mess treat that is different than the typical lunch time sandwich!

To continue on with the meat and cheese theme, we have so many options for you to send you child with a great meat, cheese, and cracker combo for lunch. We have multiple cracker options in the grocery section of our store, and again many different kinds of cheese. Once you have these two items, decide on the meat you think your child would like best! We have ring bologna, pepperjack bologna, summer sausage, and so much more! We also have a very large selection of snack sticks, what a nice lunch time treat! Pack your little students lunch with a baggie of crackers, bite sized slices of meat and cheese, and there you go! A lunch that would make any child smile! You can’t go wrong with meat, cheese, and crackers!

If you are looking for something a little more homemade and filling for lunch, we also sell a large variety of pre-made sides that would work perfect for taking in your lunch. We carry homemade pulled pork, homestyle pistachio salad, cottage cheese jello salad, mandarin orange salad and 3 bean salad. The list doesn’t even end there! Some customer favorites include our pasta salad, bowtie antipasto salad, potato salad, and baked beans! Visit us any time and pick up a portioned container for your packed lunch! Each of these sides are delicious and very popular in our retail store! We also have a drink cooler so that you can pick up a drink for your child to stay hydrated. We have local milk options, juice, and for the fall season we will be carrying Burrville cider. Lastly, what lunch is complete without dessert!? We have a selection of cookies that work great for packed lunches, as well as mini loafs of sweet breads that can be sliced to the perfect lunch size. This blog has been so much fun to write! I think some of these ideas would truly make your little one smile when they open their lunch bag at school. We hope you test out our ideas!
