School Lunch

Our kids get tired of the same ol routine. As much as PB&J is near and dear to my heart it gets boring after a while. And really how many times can you eat turkey and cheese?

Thanks to the design of the lunch boxes these days, your brown bag lunch has turned into a whole new experience!

Bento Boxes from Japanistic.com are all the rage!  These boxes are great and keep everything separated.  Now I realize that sushi can be expensive! But I like my kids to explore food options, even options I wont eat myself.  Vegetable sushi rolls are great and you can get them from your local supermarket!  Check out these Faux Sushi Rolls!  I found an easy way to make sticky rice at home WITHOUT the need for a bamboo steamer.  Pair the sticky rice with some steamed veggies or the Faux Sushi Rolls and your kiddo is good to go with a fun new lunch!

How bout a new spin on the ham and cheese!  Ham and Cheese kabobs! Or turkey and cheese Kabobs! Or ham, turkey, and cheese Kabobs!  Just skewer cubes of meats and cheeses on kabobs. Pair the kabobs with some honey mustard, or other dip and some crackers!  If you fear the idea of skewers (as I might with my 7 year old) than use a small cookie cutter shape like letters or a tiny dinosaur and stamp out some cheese than add the meat cubes in a reusable eco friendly container.

Do you kids love cerial?  How about for lunch.  Just pour dry cerial in a reusable eco friendly bowl with a lid. In another container add bananas or you kids fav fruit topping.  They can grab a milk at the lunch counter! Dont froget a reusable spoon!

 My DD loves peanut butter and celery!  So in a reusable container i put small celery sticks I pack her a tube of skippy ( who knew that idea would be useful) and some raisins and crackers.

For a new spin on a regular sandwich use sandwich cutters for some flair!  You can find a bunch here!  Or just grab some at your local supermarket. Also don’t be afraid to use plain ole cookie cutters!

Make lunch fun!!
