On the first day of school, it is a major passage where parents had to be
separated from their kids up to 7 hours daily, 5 days a week.
So far, my 9 year old boy had been safe and secure from food poisoning
and diarrhea.
Up to this point, I had been preparing packed lunch for him since he was
6 years old.
For the past few years, I have been attempting to make his school lunch as
healthy as possible.
I offered variety of foods, ranging from homemade muffins, cookies,
sandwiches, toast bread, pancakes and assorted wraps.
Although fast food burgers and pizzas are convenient and filling for my
little one to handle, these are unhealthy lunch as they are high in calorie
and high in fats.
These food would lead to obesity in his later grown up years.
I wouldn’t want to see my son growing up in the midst of obesity
epidemic and prevent him from contracting cardiovascular disease,
Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
My Son’s Favorite Packed Lunch
Grilled Ham Pita Sandwiches is his favorite lunch, be it at home or at school.
I guessed that every kid loves toasted ham with cheese or iceberg lettuce,
sandwiched in between toasted pita.
Some children would eat the hams on its own but it wouldn’t be as filling.
Adding more packed nutritious ingredients into this easy to prepare lunch
in less than 15 minutes.
You can either grill or lightly toast the ham in a frying pan with a little butter.
Ingredient substitute
Dislike iceberg lettuce?
how about replacing the vegetable with romaine lettuce, cabbages or slices of fresh tomatoes?
Out of pitas?
Replace pittas with toasted whole wheat bread or French bread
If your child prefer to have less cheese, coarsely grate a block of cheddar
cheese instead.
This recipe serve 2 persons.

high temperature oven.
It puffed up which induced the white round bread to open up a “pocket”.

It's great that your son prefers a healthy lunch, Peachy. So many kids just want junk food when they go to school :(
Pinned your recipe, and scheduled a Tweet in Buffer

Yup I agree that most kids would rather spend money on junk food in school and I am pleased that my son still prefers homemade food for his packed lunch.
