It's summer, what do you feed your kids for lunch"
by Sabrina Garibian posted in Life
Summer break is just a couple of weeks away and man am I burned out from making school lunches. I'm a good cook and have no problem saying that. I also have my act together most of the time and I have no problem saying that either. But, well, this is what my daughter's school lunch looked like today:
It's a yogurt tube, two cheese sticks because apparently I can't count, a whole apple and a whole cucumber. I didn't even cut the cuke, never mind peel it. I just keep telling myself that at least it isn't the donut and croissant I dropped off at my 3-year-old's preschool when I accidentally left her lunch box at home. Because I did that this week too.
So here I am, burned out on lunches when I'm about to have four children home with me all summer. And I have to feed these children multiple times a day! I don't want to overcomplicate things but I also want my children to eat a well-balanced diet. I have a hard time finding the middle of the road on this topic, but I'm going to try my best this summer to offer a healthy lunch at least four days a week.
I know we are all in the same boat, so I thought I'd share the list I came up with for summer lunches.
Here it is:
turkey and cheese sandwich, apple, chips
snack plate of almonds, grapes, cheddar cheese cubes, pretzels
red lunch of watermelon, red pepper slices, tomatoes and pepperoni
rainbow lunch of grape tomatoes, clementine, slice of cheese, walnuts, cucumber, blueberries and purple grap...
