Make Ahead Sandwiches and Wraps for Lunches

I know I can’t be the only one who dreads packing school lunches! Thankfully, years ago, I discovered that I could transfer the concept of freezer meals into things that I could put in their lunch boxes. These make-ahead sandwiches and wraps are perfect for exactly that.

You can spend an afternoon preparing these and then not have to think about school lunches for the rest of the month. Your kids can just pull out what they want to pack in their lunch each day.
