Whole Wheat Creamy Ranch Turkey Wrap | The Chef Next Door #PowerYourLunchbox

I don't know about you, but I'm having a really hard time believing that summer is almost over and school is right around the corner. My sons go back to school in less than two weeks...how is that possible? Isn't it still June? *insert BIG sigh here*

It seems like summer just started, and here we are printing school schedules, buying supplies, and getting wardrobes figured out. I am so not ready for this! Of course with all of this comes the task of packing lunches. My youngest son is still in high school and tries really hard to eat healthy most of the time. {Which means he doesn't want to eat cafeteria food every day!} I aim to pack his lunch at least three times a week, and I'm always trying to change things up for him so he doesn't get bored.

and nutritious lunch that no one can resist!

I've been talking about my lunch dilemma a lot lately and how I struggle to find something to eat at lunchtime. I like having different things, not the same ole', same ole'. Well, that goes for my kids, too. They get tired of eating the same boring sandwiches every day and love variety. My lunch conundrum came at a perfect time since Milk Means More asked me to come up with a couple of recipes for a lunchbox makeover!

I pondered this challenge for quite awhile...I needed to make something delicious and healthy, but not ordinary. And, of course, it needed to have dairy in it as well. Dairy foods are full of calcium, protein, potassium, vitamin D and other nutrients. It's recommended that we have three servings of dairy daily, so adding cheese to your sandwiches is an easy way to get one of those servings. Add a glass of milk to your lunch and you've got an easy two!
