A sandwich which could be lettuce,tomato and a slice of cheese,or slices of turkey or chicken with again lettuce,tomato,maybe some dill pickles, and a piece of fruit,apples are great,or fresh strawberries or blueberries,its nice of you to make her lunch,ask her what her likes and dislikes are, does she like mayo,mustard or nothing . Tuna salad is good,with some crackers,1 or 2 hard boiled eggs and a salad,many possibilities,but if she doesn’t like what you make its useless.
