Lunches for Kids
I would like to figure out a better way of getting good lunches for my kids. At the moment, lunches consist of a pizza pop, juice, crackers or a granola bar, and canned fruit or an apple. I’m not too thrilled about the pizza pop but I got sick of throwing out sandwiches with one bite taken out of them day after day. I know they’ll eat the pizza pop since it’s a treat.
I’d like to set things up so that they’re eating less processed stuff but I’m not sure how to do it in such a way that they’ll actually eat what is served. Throw in random school rules due to allergies, microwave availability, and the phase of the moon and it gets complicated. One possibility would be to get something like a Laptop Lunchbox and figure out a couple of options for each of the compartments. My biggest criteria is that I don’t want to spend a lot of prep time on the lunches - maybe 15 minutes prep total for the three lunches. Anyone have any good sites/recipe books/suggestions?
