   You know what I do! I make dinners, I mean like a home made meat loaf with mashed potato's and vegetables then I serve them on a microwave plate cover with heavy foil then freeze it. I make several type dinners and do that with every thing that way my husband can pick and choose and all he does is remove the foil pop it into the microwave and he has a hot home made meal!
   If this is to much you can always send him with burritos of any thing. You can make empanadas from can biscuits and stuff them with ham and cheese. It is really a matter of taste to some.

   This may not help, but my husband eats left overs….. very tasty, very quick, and super inexpensive. Chicken wraps are very easy, beef stew with corn bread, bean burritos, chicken/pesto pasta. If you get the book, "saving dinner", for idiots like me that don't know how to cook. You can learn how to follow recipes and send left overs. It made a big difference for us. The book includes a shopping list for each week's dinners. I was the queen of spaghetti for a long time until I found this book. Good luck.

   If this doesn't work for you, try getting a book that deals with making your kid's lunch fun. I have a 1st grader and I know there are "cookbooks" that don't involve much cooking, for making quick healthy lunches for kids, just make the portions bigger. Good luck!!!

   pasta dishes, chicken or tuna wraps and salads, soups, chili, fried rice with veggies, lasagna…anything that you make for dinner can be brought for lunch the next day or frozen for a quick microwave.

   Sandwiches are really quick. Use Multi-grain bread or spinach tortilla wraps with turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mustard. Throw some fruit and bottled water in there and he's all set. You can also buy some frozen dinners for the days you don't feel like making anything.
