THats what LO has for lunch. she also has avocado slices </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772953 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:25:43 +0000 skibobrown 772953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get our deli turkey from whole foods, where the deli turkey is literally just a thinly sliced turkey -- not processed meat with fillers. It's more expensive, but much healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772925 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:14:51 +0000 immabeetoo 772925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bean and rice mix?? I like that in wraps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772846 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:47:01 +0000 Andrea 772846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: gasp! guacamole is one of the best things ever!! :-) it sounds like he likes meat so you can do steak, roast chicken, turkey, pulled pork, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772825 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:41:21 +0000 Bao 772825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: He does not like guacamole, but I love it! See my issue here? He never tells me what he wants but then doesn't like what I pick out, so then goes back to his yucky sandwiches. </p> <p>@hergreenapples: ok thanks!</p> <p>@wheres_c: Oh he may really like that one! I will have to ask.</p> <p>@Anagram: Maybe I should just make some extra meat when making dinners (I usually make just enough, or maybe enough for 1 leftover meal) and then use the rest for his lunches.</p> <p>@regberadaisy: Grilled chicken sandwiches, yummy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772820 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:40:18 +0000 LinzR 772820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: we do the same thing. We will grill it or what not on Sunday and have it all week - on salads, in a wrap, with rice, etc. This plan works so well for us. We do different marinades and seasonings to help jazz it up some too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772819 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:40:00 +0000 Ra 772819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: It should stay good for 4-5 days :) You can buy them pre-cooked at the grocery store for like $5 too, so it's a pretty good deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772811 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:37:26 +0000 regberadaisy 772811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of times when we roast a turkey we will save the breast meat for sandwiches. Or buying ham and roasting it yourself.<br /> We do grilled chicken sandwiches a lot as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772809 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:36:35 +0000 Anagram 772809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: My grandmother used to always buy turkey breasts (like, the entire breast) in the frozen section each weekend, bake or roast it, then slice it for sandwhiches all week.</p> <p>My granddad worked in a sandwich meat factory in his younger days and refused to ever eat sandwich meat after that. The upside is that is much better for you, in terms of health. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772801 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:34:15 +0000 wheres_c 772801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about egg salad? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alternatives-to-lunch-meat#post-772799 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:34:00 +0000 heartonastring 772799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Yep.

I need some ideas for sandwiches or wraps that are healthier, but still easy for him to make! </p>
