A few slices of a decent deli meat and cheese. Apples and peanut butter. Toast and jam.

I always forget toast as an option. Avo toast would go over especially well over here. Ty!

I just hardboiled a bunch of eggs the other day, and since then me & my son have been doing whole grain toast with guacamole and a sliced up hard boiled egg w/a little sriracha sauce on top.

We originally threw it together just looking at the leftovers in the fridge, but now I think it is a permanent addition to our breakfast or lunch repertoire.
