School mornings can be hectic, especially if you don’t know what you’re going to make your kids for lunch. If you don’t have something ready or an idea of what you are going to make, it can put you in a bind. For me, the healthiest and quickest lunches come from home cooked dinners that were made the night before – thank you my lovely wife. Whether its fish or rice, its saves so much time to have a tasty homemade meal ready to go. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work this way and you have to make something on the fly.  Below are 10 simple school lunch ideas for kids that any dad can make.
