Weaving a little fun into lunch. . .


A little fun goes a very long way when it comes to getting people of a certain height to actually eat something.
My kids aren't picky, just very unmotivated eaters. Adding a little "fancy" to their meals makes them disappear much faster and
helps me stay sane. No begging, pleading or threats of "no dessert" necessary.

Lunch 25

Hot Lunch Experiment


Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with home made turkey meatballs and parmesan cheese.
Garlic buttered bread. Stitch toy for company. Juice.
Snacks: Mini pumpkin muffins and a banana.
Chocolate milk from school.

Our first attempt at packing a hot lunch went pretty well. It was crazy cold even for this area this morning. The grass and car had a layer of frost. I ditched my plans for a cold lunch and put on a pot of pasta at 5:30 am. This smelled amazing. Garlicky with a touch of butter to keep it from feeling dry. I pulled the meat balls from the freezer, chopped them up and tossed them in with the seasonings and made sure they got nice and hot. I packed it all up in a pre-warmed, pink trimmed thermos and sent her on her way. She said it was still pretty hot at lunch. "Almost had to blow on it" hot. Yay.

    I just wanted to say thanks for the great ideas! I have a 10 month old who is starting to refuse baby food, and I'm going to steal some of your ideas (modified for a 10 month old of course)! Keep up the good work!

    Thanks! Steal away! My 10 month old gets a lot of the same stuff too.
