It's becoming very clear that I don't have time for pretty lunches that won't be a crazy mess by the time she gets to them. So, I am aiming for tasty, easy to eat and somewhat stable. So far so good.
Day One: cherry halves, carrot sticks with ranch dip, flower shaped hard boiled egg, cream cheese pinwheels on whole wheat, carrot flowers and a cookie. I included a little plastic horse "friend" and an "I love you" note.
Snacks: mini muffins, fruit strip, cheese stick and crackers. Watered down juice to drink.
Day Two: Two Nutella and whole wheat ducky sandwiches, two small cups of cheese cubes, red bell pepper hearts and peanut free trail mix. Not pictured is a small cup of cinnamon applesauce and the little Hello Kitty friend.
Snacks: smoothie and granola bar cubes, mini muffins and grapes. Watered down juice.
Day Three: Nutella on whole wheat Hello Kitty (made one handed while holding a cranky baby), Honey Nut Cheerios, trail mix, red pepper squares, sliced apple from our tree. Friend of the day: cow
Snacks: yogurt and buttered bread with a fruit strip. Usual watered down juice.
Not bad for a last minute change. There was a cookout at school and I didn't know if she even needed a lunch, so I went for non perishable- ish. Sorry for the sideways view!
So far the only stuff to make it back home is a few pieces of pepper, two carrot sticks, the "icky" golden raisins from the trail mix and a little juice. Not bad at all!!!
