New and Creative Ideas for Lunches




Why is it that we can't get this darn commercial out of our heads!?! LOL We all keep singing it over and over again in our house, messing the words up occasionally. So what do I do...I call my parents to tell them about it and here they start singing it to me! I guess it's just that catchy!(HA ;) Get it!) So yesterday my daughter was asking what she could make for her lunch today for school. As of this year..she has really wanted to start eating healthier, which requires more packed lunches! Which I don't mind...I think it's great that she wants to eat healthy (since I struggle so much with that) and also I think it's gonna be cheaper in the long run. There are a few healthy options @ the school, but things she don't really like so much. So she has been taking pb sandwich, chicken caesar salad, turkey sandwich and that's pretty much the extent of it. Being somewhat of a picky eater...she has not allowed herself to have many choices. So I thought I would start to look for different things to pack, not so sure I found what I was looking for but found some great links that I thought I would share a couple:
10 Healthy Lunch Ideas for Your Kids

Seen this book (link below) and thought about getting it to see...maybe the library has it too! I'll have to check it out and let you know. =)

If anybody has any other great ideas..I would love to hear them! But for now I will keep looking ............. :)
