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 27

Time Saver Lunch

Lunch: Cinnamon buttered whole wheat bread "sandwich". Cheese cubes/circles. Craisins. Sugar cookie hearts. Horse friend to keep her company. In the top section is grape halves and a mini pumpkin pie, without crust.
Snacks: Granola bites and pretzels. Banana.
Chocolate milk and juice for drinks.

I am on the constant quest to make lunch as easy to eat as possible. I notch banana skin for easy peeling. I open and cut up granola bars and cheese sticks. The grapes are cut in half and the seeds removed. These things make everything more perishable, but also make it much more likely that she'll eat it, or at least eat more!
She is a very slow eater and anything I can do to help her eat more efficiently, I will do it in a heartbeat. I don't want her sloth like eating habits to cause her to be hungry all the time at school.
I do need to find a way to get dinner into her faster though, before we go crazy. Perhaps the blender?
