You just named the best stuff. I should know - I'm 16.What are some easy things to buy teenagers for lunch?
somthing healthy maybe?? orrr yorgot... pudding :P hehe umm Viteamen water.. it tastes good :P hehe and umm.... sorry thats it :P
Cheese Quesidillas are easy to make, you just need a pkg. of flour tortillas, a bag of lettuce, and some Kraft shredded cheese. There's also bagels, any kind of fruit, Easy Mac, salads..Most grocery stores have pre-packaged macaroni salad and stuff like that. No one in my family cooks, so I'm used to eating easy microwave-type stuff. Hope this helps!!
It's the summer and I have a house full of teens on a daily basis. They never get tired of those things. Try adding some frozen chicken and beef fajitas, Pizza flavored pizza rolls as well as the mexican style ones. Keep tons of chips , popcorn around as well. They love the ice cream and popsicles. Frozen sorbets. (which are readily available now) Keep Mashed potatoes and tons of brown gravy around. They can use this to put on hamburgers as a mock salisbury steak. They can also cook frozen chicken fillets in the oven and or on a george forman grill with various seasonings from mexican to greek. It's easy to prepare and doesn't take long. Tons of beverages should also be on hand from Gatorade, Juice, Teas, and Milk with assorted syrups readily available. Frozen Fruit (strawberries) and frozen concentrated punches make it easy for them to make Fruit Smoothies as well; which they also love.
For quick breakfasts; keep frozen scrambled egg patties on hand with Sausage patties, cheeses, and egg muffins , bagels etc...
Frozen pancakes only take 1 min. 20 secs. to cook in mikey and assorted syrups make it fun. Waffle sticks etc...
Hope that helps a bit.
make nachos or tacos.
why not make more dinner food so they can take some for luch the next day. also fruit and veggies are good. why dont you take them to a sams club or costco or any other big wholsale store so they can get what they want to take for lunch it'll be easier on you b.c they'll be the ones choosing the food for themselves
hot pockets, pizza rolls,
pitta pockets!?
They have some good frozen Mexican food now. Hot dogs, mac %26amp; cheese, frozen white castles, french fries, grill up a bunch of hamburgers %26amp; chicken and freeze them, you can get containers of potato salad and cole slaw already made, make a batch of toco meat up and keep it in the freezer and have the fixings around, hot pockets, left overs from dinner are good.
taquitos
Being 22 and having three younger siblings within 6 years of me, I can remember my Mom filling the fridge with Lean Pockets, Macaroni, Chef Boyardee (sp), etc.
Sandwich meat was by far the best thing she could've done, though. She would buy a variety of meats and cheese. It's a quick ';snack/meal'; and it's teen-friendly.
Consider snacks like Wheat Thins to compliment their lunches, instead of potato chips. Just my opinion!
Depending on your geographic location, some super markets have sushi, Jamaican beef patties, egg rolls, and now Oscar Mayer has this new hot sandwich thing that you can buy prepacked with heating instructions.
Soda's, String cheese, individual yogurt's, chips of any kinds. My teens like the crunchy, hot cheeto's, spicey cheese-its... You could get those burritos that have beef in them with monterey jack cheese, that they can mike, in the micorowave. My kids ,just love, love , love those burritos!!! You could just change their types of lunchmeat's to like liverworst on rye toast....My kids love this with mustard %26amp; mayo mixed!!! Or you can buy like some salami, instead, and have them to put it with mustard %26amp; mayo, plus lettuce and cheese.. Or get some apple butter and peanut butter,and have them make this on toast... Or cottage cheese, with salsa mixed inside of the cottage cheese and they can dip like tortilla chips with this deliscious type of dip.... Or you can make the night before something healthy like jello with real fruit in it, and buy some good whipped cream they can top it all of with....this is a very deliscious, yet cool and refreshing lunch.. nice %26amp; light, so they dont get tired ,but instead get energized from all the nutritious stuff in it... oh, you can add walnuts in the jello too, to make it even funner to eat!! Buy lots of nuts to keep around the house for when they want to snack... and mini fruit... Like mini red deliscious apples, or grapes and cheese..... diced cheese.... this is suppose to release some sort of euforia and make us all happy when we eat grapes, apples, with cheese!! So that is really a good nutritious snack!! Dennison's chili beans with franks, and take your buns from out of the freezer and nuke them for about 30 seconds, just long enough to make them steamed of sorts, and have the chili beans already in a microwave safe bowl, with a lid, put the lid on the top slanted so the beans dont pop all over your microwave,and slice up some cheddar cheese slices, and some onions if they like them , and I have one of those microwave hot dog containers, fits 4 hot dogs, you just have to add a tad of water, in each slot. And make them chili cheese dogs with some chips on the side, with some cottage cheese for a side, or some jello, or some carrot sticks with ranch, along with celery sticks....all good for them!! Just get creative, and see what types of fruits you can make fun foods out of.... You can also visit www.foodnetwork.com .................and see what Raheal Ray says about fun foods for kids, teens, or even summer treats.... she does have menu's for kids!! So does Ina Garten's ';Contessa Barefoot'; she used to cook for the ';White House'; many years ago, until she got tired of taking orders from them, so she went out on her own with her husbands help and became a success over night, starting her own bakery in Florida, or somewhere like that!! I have made her ';Parmesan Chicken sticks'; for my kids before, and even my picky eater son ate them and requests me to make them from time to time!! They are ';OUT OF THIS WORLD!!'; Deliscious!! So you may want to either visit this site or watch channel 34 here in Arizona, you cant miss it, if you jus flip around because all day long they only have food and chef's or programs about them on 24/7 so you are bound to find some sort of show about what to feed your kids to enjoy during summer!!! Oh also you can take a watermelon and cut a hole out of the side, and add different types of fruits and nuts, and juices and put the lid back on it, and serve this to your family for a filling and refreshing lunch sometime!! Yummo!!! Good Luck to you hun!! And Happy Eating to you all !!!! SMile!!!
