If you live in Canada, chances are pretty good when your kids go back to school this year, they will be having a deli-meat-free lunch, due to the massive recall of luncheon deli meats. And many more parents are concerned about deli meat because of the sodium nitrates used, not to mention the fact that there are many healthier alternatives to the traditional bologna or ham slices that so many parents rely on.

So here are 22 sandwiches for your kid's lunches that use no deli meat.. that means you have an entire month's worth of sandwiches! None of these sandwiches use any nut products, since they are banned in most schools today.

1. Grilled cheese sandwiches, send with a small container of ketchup. Most kids don't care if they are hot or cold.
2. Avocado & cream cheese sandwiches.
3. Pesto, cream cheese & cheddar cheese bagel sandwich
4. Vegetarian "Tuna" Salad sandwich (made with garbanzo beans)
