I went back to school to eat with Fancy today. We're going to try and make it a weekly thing. I wanted to take pictures of the school lunches but felt awkward (especially since I didn't buy one). I saw corn dogs, syrup, potato chips, flavored milk, sweetened cereal, and juice on the kids' plates. Those kids were surely on a sugar high for about 30 minutes (recess time), then must have crashed once they went back to class. Not a great way to spend an afternoon of learning. I'm thankful that I'm able to pack lunch for my kids.
Here's tomorrow's lunch:
Bayberry has Harvest Chicken Salad on tortillas, lettuce, and tomato; pluots (hybrid of plum and apricot); and sliced Asian pears. She's taking water to drink.
Fancy has Harvest Chicken salad on tortillas; pluots; sliced Asian pears; and sweet potato muffins with butterscotch chips (I wish I had a recipe for you but I just used the recipe on the back of the Bruce's sweet potato pancake mix and added a mashed banana and some butterscotch chips). She's taking water to drink.
Your kids are so lucky to have a mom like you! Once again beautiful healthy lunches.
