The problem with a loaf of homemade bread in the bread machine is that it doesn't last long!  I should have made more last night, and I did not, so today, the kids have rather snacky lunches.

I was out of bread yesterday, so I threw some King Arthur Flour Oatmeal sandwich bread in the bread machine overnight.  I don't normally bake in the bread machine, only using it to mix, but it is really nice to wake up to the scent of fresh bread wafting through the air.  It is a pleasant alarm clock.

For lunches, we kept it simple.

Sandwich: 45g, melon: 5g, raisins: 8g

The Boy has some melon,  raisins, and a sandwich on homemade bread with peanut butter and jelly.  His snack is seaweed snacks (no picture, 1g)

It's Friday, and I didn't want to open the package of lunch meat I have before the weekend (because I don't want it to possibly go bad through not using it over the weekend) - so, the kids have super simple lunches.

Sickness is making it's way through the house - almost out now - but, it called for comfort food.  I made a variation on Pioneer Woman's Macaroni and cheese - but I used a mixture of caramelized onion cheddar, fontina, and Monterey Jack cheese, and I topped with fried onion strings (like you'd put on a green bean casserole), and omitted the egg,

I made a HUGE batch, so everyone has leftovers for lunch.

Mac & Cheese: 60g (he may not eat all of it), raisins: 12g, trail mix: 24g

The Boy has mac & cheese, raisins, and trail mix.  His snack is cheese crackers (not pictured, 16g).

Th Girl is sick today, so she is staying home.

Sandwich: 40g, apple slices: 8g, raisins: 12g

The Boy has a sandwich that he asked for - pepperoni and cheese with marinara sauce.  He also has raisins and apple slices.  His snack is some trail mix (not pictured, 24g)

1.3.17

Back to school, but I've been sick for a few days, so they aren't the most inspired lunches.  (I'm getting better, but still not enthusiastic about handling other's food right now... so I'm touching as little as possible)

Sandwich: 40g, pretzels: 10g, nutella: 9g, raisins: 10g

The Boy has a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, raisins, pretzels, and some nutella that Santa brought.  His snack is a granola bar (not pictured, 24g).

Promise, this is yummier than it looks

The Girl's lunch is delicious, but not pretty... I made a split pea soup for dinner a few days ago, and she loved it.  Normally, a soup wouldn't be good to pack in an Easy Lunch Box, but pea soup?  Nice and THICK until you heat it up, so no leaking!  She also has pretzels with Nutella, and a trail mix.
