I love the thermos.  If you fill it with boiling water for a few minutes
then dump the water and add the hot food, the food will stay nice and hot
until lunch time.  (or cold if your'e going that route).  We send soups,
leftover rice pasta w/ sauce, leftover stews and yogurt smoothies (cold) in
the thermos.  Other staples: yogurt, sandwiches and bagels w/ GF bread, GF
cornbread, quesadillas, GF pizza (everyone likes cold pizza), tamales from
trader joes- heat in Am and wrap in aluminum foil.  They're not exactly hot,
but my kid likes them lukewarm OK.  String cheese, the usual carrot sticks,
applesauce, grapes, apples and peanut butter, corn chips, fruit leather,
hummus with rice crackers, used to do the rice cake thing with peanut butter
and honey but we overdid that and now my kid  refuses to eat rice cakes.  A
nice sweet treat is peanut butter, honey and dried milk mixed together into
little balls, wrap in waxed paper, it's like candy.  Nuts!  Nature Valley
makes nut bars that are gluten free and regularly on sale at Safeway.
Popcorn.  That's all that comes to mind at the moment. Beef jerky.

Cheers,
Lindsey
