Rainbow Lunch Day
Today was Gus’s rainbow day celebration. Colors were discussed the first two weeks of Kindergarten and this was the day he got to wear rainbow colors – of course I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to make him a rainbow lunch. I am pretty in love with the memory of what he chose to wear […]
The Kissing Hand
The Kissing Hand is how Gus started Kindergarten and I remember Simon doing the same. I sat in each of their classrooms, while their teacher read that book, on the first day of school and cried. I like to think of my lunches as my ‘kissing hand’. If only I could send a lunch this […]
Green Belly Acher School Lunch
Sounds appetizing, right? Well belly achers aren’t adequately named. I ate about 40 of them last night – no aches. As for the rest, apparently I had green on the brain this morning. Soy yogurt, green apple, green chocolate drops, green belly achers (aka cucumbers soaked in vinegar, water, salt and pepper), green grapes and […]
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 […]
Dinosaur Sandwiches, Grapes and Gus
Little Gus posed this morning for a photo with his lunch box. Good morning dinos. It has been awhile since we’ve seen you. Maybe since last school year? We’ve also got some homemade applesauce, fig cookies, little crunchy sticks from the bulk section at the GFS, of the garlic and poppyseed variety no less. Some […]
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 […]
Brat and Pan Fried Carrot Train
Love this train…well I love the boys that will eat that train at lunchtime today. Any tricks on getting your kids to eat carrots are very welcome! We still have a plethora of carrots to consume and my kids aren’t huge on raw carrots. These are pan fried in some olive oil. They prefer them […]
Colorful Cold Lunch
A little breakfast and a look ahead to lunch. This time during our morning is some of my favorite time during the entire day. That is a colorful lunch! The applesauce is homemade, the carrots are homegrown the rest comes from close to home. The fruit salad is all organic berries/grapes from the Good Food […]
Sushi Rolls, Daisy Cookie and More
I will confess I didn’t roll this sushi myself, I do know how, but this wasn’t my work. Our local Good Food Store was the responsible party. They are filled with baked tofu, carrots and avocado and they are delicious. I would like to dip them in some soy sauce but that isn’t how my […]
