Leftovers are a lifesaver when it comes to making healthy lunches for my kids to take to school. A quick and easy leftover lunch I like to make is Ham, Tomato & Basil Quiche. It's filled with nutritious veggies and it tastes delicious. I actually make two quiches at the same time (one for dinner and one for lunches) so I get two meals checked off my list at once. 

To go along with the quiche, I add some of my kids' favorite treats to the other compartments of their Bentgo Kids lunchboxes. Who doesn't love ants on a log? My kids have been loving pecan butter (www.purelypecans.com), so I use that. These hold well overnight so you can make them ahead of time and store them in a container in the fridge. We also really like dried cranberries on our celery.

Prepping for this quiche recipe is simple and fairly quick. So, let's dive in.
