Lunch for Wednesday

An easy way to assemble a school lunch box is by answering some "favorites" questions. Packing favorites can become tedious day after day, but it does make for quick packing.

What's your child's favorite sandwich?

What's your child's favorite fruit?

What's your child's favorite dairy product?

What's your child's favorite protein source?

What's your child's favorite vegetable?

What's your child's favorite savory snack?

What's your child's favorite sweet treat?

Obviously, these questions don't all have to be answered for every lunch. Just pick a few based on what's on hand and pack a quick lunch. Today, my kids brought a Favorites Lunch. Their favorite sandwich is a peanut butter sandwich. They both love string cheese. Hard-boiled eggs are a favorite protein source, and they are both crazy about pomegranate and kiwi.

I tucked in a cinnamon roll with orange icing for Halloween and added some milk to drink. A nutritious, delicious lunch that is certain to come home empty.

Note: I left Bayberry's eggs unpeeled so that they didn't make her whole lunch smell like egg. Fancy needs help peeling eggs, so I went ahead and peeled hers.
