Mommy & Daddy's Lunches: 10.4.12

Daddy and I have some pumpkin soup in ball jars, along with a banana, a couple reduced fat crescent rolls, and a fun size dark chocolate mini three muskateers.  I love fun size Halloween candy!  It's a bit of a problem.  ;)  But, a tiny problem.  A fun size problem.

The jars don't fit in the Easylunchboxes, but they are great for soup.

Lunch: 10.3.12

The Girl's snack is a sandwich thin with some Mighty Maple Peanut Butter.

Her lunch is a kiwi, half an apple, half an Oscar Meyer Angus Selects hot dog and some cheddar cheese in a pumpkin silicone cup, some rainbow goldfish, Farmer's Market dried fruit blend in an Easylunchbox Mini dipper, and some carrot coins, all packed in an Easylunchbox.

Lunch for The Boy: 10.3.12

Wednesday!

Peanut butter sandwich: 30g

The Boy's snack is a sandwich thin with some Mighty Maple Peanut Butter.  A note: There are no nut allergies in their classrooms, so I can send nut things in snack - they are also allowed at lunch, but they kids have to sit at a "peanut butter" table if they have nuts in their lunch... The Girl doesn't mind, but The Boy really does.  I try not to send nutty things in lunches, but ... I need to do a quick shopping trip to get a couple other options.  For today, this peanut butter is delicious.

Melon: 4g, apple: 4g, hot dog & cheese: 1g, goldfish: 10g, carrots: 3g, dried fruit: 16g

His lunch is some cantaloupe and honeydew melon, half an apple, half an Oscar Meyer Angus Selects hot dog and some cheddar cheese in a pumpkin silicone cup, some rainbow goldfish, Farmer's Market dried fruit blend in an Easylunchbox Mini dipper, and some carrot coins, all packed in an Easylunchbox.

Mommy's Lunch: 10.1.12

I have a confession...

I pack these great lunches for my kids, and most of the time, I buy lunch at work.

The cafeteria is relatively cheap and really delicious, so it's hard to NOT buy.  Half the time when I bring lunch, I end up buying something, too...

Today, I might get soup.  It's less than $2 and yummy.  We'll see.

But, I want to attempt to pack my lunches more and buy less. 

So, here's my lunch for today - nothing fancy.  I have a peanut butter and honey sandwich on a sandwich thin, an apple, some ranch flavored crackers, and some dried fruit mix, in an Easylunchbox.  Should be filling.

Would taste really good with some soup.

I admit, it's an uphill battle...
