Well, today was one of those days. I forgot to set my alarm and my son missed his bus. I packed these pancake lunches in under 2 minutes because I had leftover pancakes on hand. Thank goodness! This is a lunch that always comes back eaten too! My little girls have to have nut free lunches for preschool so this fits the […]
This is a great tip and I have been doing it for years. Trim the ends off the parsley and cilantro and put in a small vase or big coffee cup filled 3/4 of the way with water. Store in refrigerator. The herbs will last for weeks this way. Seriously. Check the water levels and change out the water at least once a […]
I’m obsessed with these little cookies. My kids love them (as do I) and they are so healthy. They are 100% Organic with simple whole ingredients. They are raw, gluten free, nut free, non-GMO and really, really tasty! Our favorite flavors are Carrot Cake and Lemon Here’s a link to purchase them on Amazon:
I love using the Planetbox Launch lunchbox when I send leftovers that need to be reheated. Included with the box is a glass dish (with leak proof silicone lid) so food can easily be warmed in a microwave. It’s a great way to send leftover soup to school too. This is what I packed today: Organic petite baby carrots Horizon Organic […]
This was a fun project my son and I worked on to help organize his lego guys. I love this because it serves as a great organization piece but it is also a very cool looking piece of art! It was fairly inexpensive (around $50) but it did take longer than expected because I had to order the 2×2 […]
I work hard to cook a heathy and tasty meal for my family every night. As hard as I try I can’t make everyone happy all the time. Recently asking “Mom, what’s for dinner?” has turned into a trigger for my 7-year-old to immediately protest my menu selection. My typical response is “it’s my job to choose the food we eat […]
Ten minutes before the bus was supposed to come my son requested hot dogs in his lunch. He would rather not eat anything than eat something he doesn’t like so I rushed and threw this lunch together. As long as the child will eat I’ll pack what I have to. Word. I wrap his hotdog in whole wheat bread […]
This is our version on lunchables. Easy to eat separately for those “keep my food separate kids” or fun to assemble into tiny sandwiches. This is another easy lunch I can throw together in the morning with the basics I keep around the house. This is what I packed today: Nitrate free ham – rolled up and stuck together with toothpick Whole […]
Mornings are a usually a rush around my house. On the mornings where I am together enough to make bacon and eggs I love to use leftovers to complete a lunch. This lunch took just minutes to throw together using the breakfast stuff I had on hand. I try and keep hard boiled eggs in the fridge every week for […]
We all strive to get our kids to eat fresh healthy lunches. Unfortunately it’s not always easy. I’ve got three little ones and each has their unique likes and dislikes. I try to be creative and mix up the offerings so the kids don’t get bored. It’s tricky getting them to eat what you pack them. Today when my 4-year-old asked what […]
