First Week of School Lunch Round-Up
We survived the first week of school! It’s a big year for us, with D, my “baby,” in kindergarten. J, my older son, is in second grade. Second grade! Craziness. This is the first year I’ll have to consistently pack two lunches each day. We’ll see how it goes! Here’s what I made for them … Continue reading
TGIF! Lunch Round-Up for 11/4 – 11/8
I’ve been a lazy blogger and haven’t kept up with my lunch round-up posts in the last few weeks. Here I am, back on the wagon again, with this week’s lunches. Derek didn’t stay at school for lunch this week, so these are all for Jack. Tuesday, Jack brought some homemade cucumber and egg sushi … Continue reading
TGIF! Lunch Round-Up for 10/7-10/11
And here we are again — yet another Friday! I have a whole list of recipes I’d like to try (and write about), but this October feels like it’s whizzing by. Most nights, I’ve been turning to old standbys, but once Halloween is over, I should have enough of a lull to start cooking new … Continue reading
TGIF! Lunch Round-Up for 9/30 – 10/4
It’s October, which means I can whip out my Halloween lunch-making supplies! This will be a shorter post, because Jack has suddenly started skipping snack time at morning recess in favor of playing with his friends. I still pack him a snack in hopes he’ll eat it, but it’s something very simple (a bag of … Continue reading
TGIF: Snack and Lunch Round-Up for 9/16 – 9/20
Another Friday, another lunch roundup! This week, I kept things simple because I was short on lunch prep time most days. Monday, Jack brought his PlanetBox for lunch with three turkey roll-ups, cheddar cheese cut out with an airplane cookie cutter (and decorated with food markers), Ritz crackers, apple wedges, kiwi, and chocolate-covered dried blueberries. … Continue reading
TGIF! Snack and Lunch Round-Up for 9/9 – 9/13
This was the first full week of school for the boys, and it wiped all of us out! After more than three months of not having to make lunches every weekday, this week was a sudden jolt back to reality. 😉 That being said, I did have fun putting food together for Jack, and my … Continue reading
First Week of School!
Jack and Derek both started school this week. Derek headed to his last year of preschool on Tuesday, and Jack starts first grade (wha-what?? When did my baby turn into a big kid?) today. That means I’m back in the snack- and lunch-making (and blogging) business! I usually have Derek stay at school for lunch once … Continue reading
Mini Babybel Mozzarella: Review and Ideas
Mini Babybel® Cheese provided me with product for this review. However, thoughts and opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the brand. Last week, Mini Babybel sent me samples of its new mozzarella mini Babybels for review on Saucy Mommy. I was very excited because Jack and Derek absolutely love mini … Continue reading
TGIF! Snack & Lunch Round-Up for 8/20-8/23
As promised, here I am with the rest of the pictures of this week’s day camp snacks and lunches. Tuesday’s snack was homemade Star Wars cookies (from this recipe) and cut-up strawberries with light saber cupcake picks (as mini forks). I used my new snack-sized PlanetBox Shuttle boxes for the snacks. I can’t say enough great … Continue reading
I’m Baaaaack!
Hi, everyone! I’m back from my summer blogging hiatus. We spent a lovely month with my in-laws at their beautiful Michigan home. The boys swam in Crystal Lake, attempted to skip stones on the shores of Lake Michigan, hiked through the woods, and ate ice cream just about every day. Johnny and I enjoyed quality … Continue reading
