Lunch 6/12/14

Tomorrow's lunch is turkey and spinach pinwheels, pea crisps, grapes, and apples - all of his favorites. This lunchbox should come home empty!

Lunch 6/10/14 & 6/11/14

We left in a hurry this morning and I didn't get to take a photo of today's lunch! Roo took leftovers from last night's dinner in his thermos: homemade chicken and veggie "lo mein" made with whole grain linguine, and mixed fruit on the side.

Tomorrow's lunch will be a sunbutter sandwich on whole grain bread, a boiled egg, cubed cheddar cheese (a teeny bit won't bother his tummy), carrots, cubed papaya, and broccoli pasta salad.

Lunch 6/9/14

Today was Daddy Roo's birthday. We celebrated with a biiiig breakfast, a picnic in the park, and homemade chicken fingers with chocolate cake for dinner. Lots of celebrating, and lots of yummy (if not very healthy) food.

Back to our regular routine tomorrow! Roo will have a homemade "lunchable" with deli turkey, turkey pepperoni, pretzel crackers, string cheese, carrots, grapes, and broccoli pasta salad.

Lunch 6/6/14

Tomorrow Roo is going to have a quesadilla made with turkey, lactose free cheese, and a whole grain tortilla. On the side he will have carrots, black beans, and berry applesauce.

Lunch 6/5/14

Today Roo had breakfast for lunch: eggs scrambled with spinach, whole grain toast, and fruit with yogurt. Daddy and I had boring sandwiches. I was a little envious!

Lunch 6/4/14

Both hubby and I will take leftovers from tonight's dinner since I made enough to feed a much larger (or hungrier) family than ours. For dinner, we had homemade baked chicken and spinach meatballs in tomato sauce, over zucchini "noodles" and regular (high fiber) spaghetti. Roo LOVED this meal, but the last time I sent him with tomato sauce in his lunch, he ended up in loaner clothes from the school. Whoops! The kid is serious about his pasta sauce!

So for tomorrow's lunch, Roo has a somewhat less messy meal of veggie pasta salad with diced ham, fruit, and coconut milk yogurt.

Family lunch month 6/2/14

Day 2!

Roo has a duo of sandwiches on whole grain bread (one turkey and one sunbutter), baby carrots, and fresh sliced peaches.

For me, there's homemade chicken salad lettuce wraps, wheat crackers, and baby carrots.

Hubby had a slightly less imaginative lunch, with turkey smoked sausages and cheese on wheat buns, and a snack mix of pretzels and baked crackers. Better than the burger and fries he would have probably had!

Lunch 6/2/14 - June will be a lunch-a-riffic month!

The weekend went by way too quickly. :( It's back to school and work in the morning.

Roo has tuna salad, celery sticks, whole grain crackers, halved grapes, and vanilla coconut milk yogurt for lunch tomorrow.

My lunch is almost identical, with a whole grain sandwich thin instead of crackers and Greek yogurt instead of coconut milk yogurt. Hubby has turkey sandwiches and baked chips (not exactly imaginative, that one). My goal for June is to pack all three of our lunches every day this month to help make healthy choices and save money. Fingers crossed!
