A number of people asked me to share the responses to my brown bag lunch
question with the rest of the mailing list. So, here is a summary of those
responses:
 
1.  Many suggested finger foods with dips, such as:   cut-up veggies, chicken
    fingers, cut-up hot dog or cubed meat, apple or melon slices.  And for dips:
    apple sauce, peanut butter, hummus, bean dip, ketchup & mayo mixed.
2.  Soups kept warm in a thermos.
3.  Left-overs like soups, stews, meatloaf, a chicken leg, or pizza. Some
    things may need the use of a microwave to be warmed before eating.
4.  Roll luncheon meats in lettuce leaves or just rolled up meat on its own.
5.  Hard-boiled eggs or deviled eggs.
6.  Trail mix, banana chips or dried fruits.
7.  Pancakes or waffles instead of bread.  They can be spread with peanut
    butter and/or jelly or you can pack a small container of syrup and use it as
    a dip for the pancake.
8.  Salads such as:  fruit salad, GF pasta salad, potato salad, grated carrot
    salad with millet added (grate carrot very fine).
9.  Rice crackers or rice cakes with peanut butter, tuna or egg salad.
10. Vietnamese Spring Rolls - rice paper wrapper, rice noodles with various
    chopped veggies, ground meat and sweet dipping sauce inside.  Spritz the
    wrapper, pile on filling, roll it up and put seam side down. It seals itself
    in a few minutes.
11. Japanese rice balls made with sticky rice and filled with tuna, meat or
    egg.
12. Muffins - any kind
 
One of my concerns was that my son only likes his GF bread toasted.  Here are
some suggestions I received to answer that dilemma:
 
1.  Toast the bread in the morning and pack the sandwich fillers separately.
    Then assemble the sandwich right before eating.
2.  Toast the bread in the morning, make the sandwich and wrap in a plastic
    bag. By lunch time the moisture from the heated bread softens the toast and
    it tastes more like non-GF bread.
3.  Try Gluten Free Pantry's GF Rye Mix.  When toasted it tastes like real
    rye bread.
4.  Try your best bread recipe but make it into muffins because they hold up
    better than bread.
5.  Mini Rolls ( I was given a recipe for these if anyone wants it just
    e-mail me).
6.  Try making corn tortillas from scratch. They come out softer than the
    store bought. (I was also given a recipe for this).
7.  Old El Paso tostados with ham or turkey and a spread.  They are crispy at
    first but would soften by lunch.
8.  Try Cybros rolls. (These are supposed to be good but I have yet to find
    them).
 
Whew!   Okay, I think that's about all of it.  Thanks again to all who helped
me with their suggestions.
