There is no way I can make lunches the night before. I tried and got complaints of soggy sandwiches. But my kids don’t like sandwiches much these days. My trick is to have a bunch of stuff pre-bagged like rolled lunch meats, cheese cubes, crackers, nuts. I also buy the reuse/dispose plastic tubs in the small size and pre-load those with peanut butter or fruit, or leftovers that work cold. So in the morning after I’ve played short-order cook, I can just open the lunch boxes and pop in stuff.
