Today is the girls’ first day back to school after being tracked out for 3.5 weeks (they go to a year-round school). On the school lunch menu just happens to be their fave mac and cheese and corn dogs yet both wanted to take lunch! Awww…. so I made them Mini Sub Lunches after seeing Kelly over at EasyLunchboxes sharing an older post of mine. How funny I inspired myself today – haha!
Following is Little Sis’ version of the Mini Sub Lunches is complete with fresh fruit:
In this lunch:
- Mini Sub Sandwich using Nature’s Own 100% Whole Wheat hot dog buns with Applegate Roasted Chicken, salami and Provolone cheese and lettuce
- Baby Carrots with Marzetti’s Simply Dressed Ranch Dressing
- Fresh strawberries
- Cheese Its (White Cheddar)
- Laughing Cow Herbed Cheese and Wheat Thins
- Fancy Pants Bakery’s Nut-free AND organic chocolate chip cookies
And Big Sis’ with dried fruit:
In this lunch:

Awww, thanks so much, Jennifer!! Hot dog buns make the perfect size subs for us – just the right amount of bread because we aren't into tooo bready subs around here. 😉 THanks so much for stopping by!
I would have never thought to use hot dog buns for a sub! Brilliant – thanks for sharing.
