Last night we picked up dinner from a local, healthy DRIVE THROUGH place called Fresa’s Chicken. They feature locally grown pasture raised chicken in the “El Pollo Loco” flame grilled fashion with a yummy and very spicy hot jalapeno green sauce on the side. Their corn tortillas are made in house and are very delicious. I could eat an order of […]
Today I packed 100% whole wheat pumpkin bread and leftover smoothie from breakfast. My kids LOVE Pumpkin bread. I found a great recipe in my 100 Days of Real Food Cookbook. Here’s what I used to pack: The canister is from my Planetbox lunch box.
I have about a million cookie cutters. It’s a collection yo! When I make a sandwich I like to break out a shape that will entice the kiddo to actually eat the sandwich. My girls preschool classes are nut free so this is a Sunbutter and honey butterfly sandwich. Here’s what I packed today: 100% whole wheat bread with Sunbutter […]
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 […]
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 […]
