Sometimes the summer can get more expensive with food, especially if your kids are home more than they were during the school year. Here are 13 cheap summer lunch ideas. None of these are rocket science, but sometimes we need someone to state the obvious!
Cheap Summer Lunch Ideas at Home
Quesadillas
The classic easy lunch. Even younger kids can learn how to make their own quesadillas! Use beans, chicken, or leftover taco meat and add some cheese. You can even make non-traditional quesadillas: think ham and cheese, turkey and mozzarella.
Pasta Salad
You can make pasta salad with just about any toppings you want: cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpease, cheese cubes, and cured meat like pepperoni or salami. Then just add a drizzle of Italian dressing or oil and vinegar.
“Lunchable” Style Boxes
Lunchables may be appealing when you spot them at the store, but consider how you can make your own by including some of the following:
- crackers + turkey + cheese
- PB&J wedges + fruit
- pretzels + hummus
- yogurt + granola
