Suggestions Wanted

Lunches. The kids take a lunch to school, and I am running out of ideas. I would love to pack leftovers, but frankly my kids aren't that big of fans of dinner (yet), so mostly I get a resounding "NO" when I ask if they want last nights casserole or pasta. I have broken down and bought turkey (the good kind without all the gunk in it) for sandwiches. And of course they have peanut butter, but they can only eat so much peanut butter before they revolt. I think they have already tired of PBJ and PBH. They take Quesadilla's sometimes. I buy beans and rice from a Mexican deli and they take that sometimes, but they are growing tired of it. It is becoming such a struggle to come up with healthy, good lunch ideas. At today's dr. appointment Lucy had dropped well below normal on weight, which may or may not be a big deal. I can't get her to eat. Sometimes I feel like giving up and letting her eat the crap food she craves. HELP!!!!
