Elephant Butt Sandwich and More

Today we’ve got ourselves a real doozie of a lunch to share. We’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to what our bread machine bread looks like – luckily just the same as an elephant butt, if a tail is provided. We got some new treasures for Christmas and we’ve been testing [...]
Ham & Pickle Rolls and more

Aw yeah nothin’ like some rolled ham in your lunch – with a little dill pickle and Tofutti cream cheese in the middle, yum! And of course one kid likes pickles and the other doesn’t care for them so much, so we have a variation on the school lunch for today. Kiwi, buttery pretzel squares, [...]
Valentine Cold School Lunches Take 3!

Now for the grand finale! I like to start off with a lunch train from time to time….a Valentine Lunch Train. My kiddos woke up this morning to some special little Valentines from us. Legos are at the tippy top of the list for both of them right now so while they ate their bacon, [...]
Valentine Cold School Lunches

Special Valentine Treat – 3 lunches today – over the course of the day. Here is the first Lovely Lunch. Who doesn’t love meatballs? Seriously? A peanut butter and jelly (homemade plum jelly) on wheat bread – with a heart of course. The tiny clementine pre-peeled, onion and poppy seed snack sticks, mandarin oranges, [...]
Fried Chicken, Pasta Salad and More

Little something about Gus…he has been asking for years to eat meat off the bone. I never knew what exactly he meant. He must have seen it in a cartoon somewhere along the way but try as I might I couldn’t figure it out, we tried T-Bone steak and that wasn’t it. For some reason [...]
Wrappity Wrappity Wrap

Turkey, lettuce, tomatoes from our garden and a bit of dressing – wrap it all up and you get a delicious main course. The rest of the cold lunch looks like this… The rest of the delights for today’s midday meal we have edamame, a juicy clementine, a dollop of homemade applesauce, a handful of [...]
Bagel Turkey, Cheese and Tomato Sandwich

The bagelwich is irresistible. This one in particular is filled with turkey, cheese, and fresh sliced tomato right from our garden. The other version of today’s cold lunch doesn’t differ much. In fact now that I look the only difference is that one of my kids gets a sweet treat and the other has some [...]
Hamburger, Pasta Salad and More

Hamburgers are Simon’s favorite! And the question is…why wouldn’t they be? They are delicious! And loaded is the way I love them. Simon likes them with lettuce, ketchup, mayo, and cheese if he can get it. The rest of the lunch – a clementine, some grapes, homemade pasta salad – it has cherry tomatoes from [...]
Broccoli, Spaghetti and More

We’ve got some steamed broccoli, vegetarian spaghetti (not that we are vegetarians but we make a lot of vegetarian meals around here), clementine delight x2, a diced pear, a serving of organic applesauce, and to finish us off a strawberry star cookie and two vitamin d bits today. Ooh and those swimmers around the spaghetti [...]
Quorn Roast Strips, Thick Cut Fries, and More

What a buffet today. We’ve got a little bit of everything you can imagine. A Quorn Patty cut into strips for easy munching, some thick cut baked potato fries, a slice of homemade pizza covered in veggy cheese that doesn’t actually melt apparently (but luckily my kids still dig it), a part of a hot [...]
