Fun Lunches

Do you follow me on Facebook? If so, you might have noticed a few weeks ago i shared a picture of my kids lunch that i had made for them. Here's the post i'm talking about...

 For the longest time i really struggled with what to feed my kids for lunch. We would end up most days eating mac-n-cheese, PB&J sandwiches, or going to a fast food place for lunch.

I got really tired of that, and decided to make a better effort to have more variety of lunches.

Now, most days i really like to make their lunches cute/fun! I feel like it adds that extra special touch to help get us through the long school days.

Here are some of our recent lunches...

Lunch #1 - Turkey Sandwich, Carrots w/ ranch, and yogurt

Lunch #2 - Loaded Potato Soup, Celery w/ ranch, and Granola Bar

Lunch #3 - Chili, Celery w/ ranch, and Pears

Lunch #4 - Corn Dogs, Goldfish, and Mandarin Oranges

Lunch #5 - Corn Dogs, Carrots w/ ranch, Goldfish, and String Cheese.

 Here are some of my other ideas for lunches (not mentioned in pictures above).

• Chicken Nuggets
• Mac-n-Cheese
• PB&J Sandwiches
• Salad

Also in case you are curious, here are some links for all the stuff i need to make these lunches so cute!

Lunch Boxes. - I love the 3 separate compartments these boxes have!

Silicone Cupcake Liners - These are so great for dips!

Food Picks - They work like little mini forks for diced pears, berries, etc. Love them so much!

Bon Appetit! :)
