Peachy Turkey Wrap<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With our focus on healthy meals for young children and teenagers we have come up with some exciting and new school lunch food ideas for Ben. We want to share one of them with you in this easily prepared wrap.<\/p>\n

Years ago and before we knew any better, Ben would take a Lunchable to school for his lunch time meal, turns out they have scores of preservatives, and multi-syllable words that go beyond normal food ingredients. And these ready made \u201clunches\u201d are not cheap; some can run over $3.00 each, which adds up to over $15.00 a week in lunch time meals for each child. Currently the school lunch program in Wake County costs $2.00 per meal, but the selections are not that great either.<\/p>\n

So we decided to make some better lunch meal alternatives for Ben\u2019s school meal break. Recently we have been making some quick to fix sandwiches, and this wrap is another wonderfully tasty lunch that anyone would enjoy at school, or home for that matter. It only takes about 5 minutes to prepare this wrap, between getting up in the morning and breakfast, and then it is placed with a frozen ice pack in the insulated carrier along with a drink and a side item, such as either crackers or cookies.<\/p>\n
