Some weeks I make a big batch of breakfast tacos and keep them in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast. They also make a really wonderful quick lunch item to have on hand. The cafeteria has a microwave so I wrap them in parchment paper for easy reheating at school. It’s always a fun treat to get to use the […]
I don’t know why I don’t do this more often. It’s so easy to make a panini and it elevates the sandwich into something special and different. This is what I packed today: Rudi’s whole wheat bread with Applegate ham & Organic Cheddar Cheese Celery & Cucumber Salad Sliced Oranges Spinach Fruit snacks Supplies used to pack […]
I can get away with putting spinach in my girls roll-ups but my son won’t have it. I made a nice romaine and carrot side salad with a squeeze bottle of vinaigrette. The squeeze bottle keeps the salad crunchy and adds fun!. Here’s What I packed: Rudy’s Spelt Whole Wheat Tortilla rolled with Applegate Farm Ham and organic shredded cheese and lettuce […]
I love to eat my eggs over easy. I made these simple eggs this morning with some leftover bacon and mushrooms I had on hand. First, I melted some butter from Grass Fed Cows (Kerrygold) and sautéed diced onion, mushroom and the leftover bacon. Next, I cracked two eggs on top and added some ground pepper. After the eggs […]
My son has an obsession with soft tacos. He LOVES them. I use ground beef and add spices (Cumin, Coriander, Paprika, Oregano, S&P) add shredded cheese and wrap it up in a whole wheat tortilla. When I make tacos I’m sure to set one aside for his lunch the next day. Quick and easy and something the kid will actually […]
This is an easy lunch to throw together using what I had on hand today. The whole wheat pumpkin bread is something my kids LOVE so it’s a special treat for a lunch… and healthier than a cookie. Here’s What I packed: Ham and Provolone Rolled in a Whole Wheat Tortilla Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread Rasberries and Blueberries Celery Banana […]
Both my kids elementary school and preschool require snacks to be nut free. I’m always looking for ideas of things I can send to change their snacks up. My son would want Cheese It’s and Jalapeno Chips everyday if he could (Gah!) so I have to stay on my toes and offer fun alternatives… Mini Bags of popped popcorn have […]
This is a fun way for the kids to make their own sandwiches. The meat and cheese are from a little snack pack they sell at our local Trader Joe’s with Salami and Provolone. Here’s What I packed: Trader Joe’s Woven Crackers (basically Triscuits) Trader Joe’s Salami and Provolone Snack Pack Strawberries & Blueberries Organic Shredded Carrots & Organic […]
I make some kind of bone broth every week. I usually roast a whole chicken and let my crockpot do the work on the stock for 24-48 hours. Normally I store the broth in quart sized freezer bags. Recently a friend of mine suggested using silicone cupcake molds instead and I thought it was brilliant. These little silicone cupcake molds hold 1/4 cup […]
These were my impulse purchase from Costco yesterday. Man, they are addictive. They are so crunchy it’s nuts! Sweet and delicious too. Great to add to oatmeal or trailmix. Good school snack that will get eaten up!Here’s a link to get them on Amazon if you don’t go to Costco.
