Yesterday I told you what I make available for my kids’ lunches. Although our school contracts with a school lunch company that does a pretty good job of providing low fat lunches with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, I still prefer them to take cold lunch more than getting the hot lunch. Thanks to [...] Image via Wikipedia Yes, MomCooks readers, it’s that time of the year again. Time to figure out what the heck to put in your kids’ lunches every day! I’m not big on making a specific lunch menu plan, I’d rather just provide a few options for an entree, sides, and drinks, and then let [...] I found this terrific post at Mommy’s Martini. She made a list, organized by category, of healthier options for kids’ lunchboxes. I’ll be packing a lunch again when Kaitlyn goes to kindergarten, so I’m posting these here so I don’t forget! 50 Ideas for a Healthier Lunchbox by Andrea of Mommy’s Martini: Bread alternatives for [...] The first edition of this post was so popular last year, and is still bringing me search traffic (hi Googlers!

I admit, I am terrible about remembering to eat fruit, even though I do love the taste of most of it. Funky Monkey takes delicious fruits and freeze dries them to make them easy to pack, easy to [...] I saw this post on Simple Daily Recipes from Jill, who served her kids crackers, meat, cheese and a squirt of cream cheese on top, and called them “Mom’s Munchables”. Her kids loved them! And it got me thinking, why not make my own Lunchables? What I think kids like most about those is the [...] I took the same lunch to school every day for years-Oscar Meyer bologna and an American cheese slice on white bread, with mayo, plus a baggie of Ruffles and two Chips Ahoy cookies. Washed down with a healthy pint of school milk, of course. There’s very little actual nutrition in that lunch, except for a [...] Back-to-School Fun With Food I love the Kraft website, and this post they did for back to school is yet another place to find great ideas for not only packing lunches, but starting your kids’ day off with a great breakfast, and getting them a snack after school. I especially love their Lunch Box Builder [...] |
