Build-Your-Own Cracker Lunch Box
- 2 slices deli turkey, or ham (already cooked)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese, or 1 oz block cheese
- 10 crackers, round butter crackers or whole-grain
- ½ cup grapes, halved lengthwise for young kids

Build-Your-Own Cracker Lunch Box
- Stack the turkey slices and cut out rounds with a 2-inch round cutter or the rim of a small glass. Save the scraps for a snack or a sandwich.
- Stack the cheese slices and cut rounds the same way. If using block cheese, slice it into thin squares instead.
- Put the turkey and cheese rounds in the largest compartment of the lunch box with the crackers next to them.
- Fill the other compartments with the grapes, carrots and snap peas.
- Spoon the dip into a small lidded cup, if using, and tuck in the treat.
- Close the lid and refrigerate until it's time to go. Pack with an ice pack.
