School lunch ideas - yummy, nutritious and quick needed

Trouble with raising a kid with who has been brought up to have an adventurous palate is that when it comes to day to day school lunches, the bar is too high. The hot lunch at school is apparently "boring and yucky with hardly any flavor". After several weeks of not eating school lunches and coming home ravenous, we had to stop doing school lunches for DD8 and start packing lunches from home. DH is ignoring this but I am struggling to come up with ideas that are quick to put together in the mornings before DD goes off to school and I go to work. I sure could use some advice. I made pasta today with pesto (home made and frozen in 1tbs blobs) and the reaction was "What! pasta again!". Please suggest some ideas that I could rotate. Doing some advance prep would be great so that it is faster in the morning. Kids eat lunch in outdoor picnic tables. I use a small thermos for warm foods and have small containers for cold foods. Eggs are OK but we eat vegetarian otherwise.
