Half way through the last semester I took my daughter off packed lunches and put her on school dinners instead. I got tired of the never ending battle of sending her with something only for her to not eat it and then all the way home I got to hear her moan and whine about being hungry and not liking what she had in her lunch box.
I've decided to send her with lunches once again. She seems to be very happy with the idea and has been asking if today is the day she gets sent with sandwiches. I have her paid up until next week so starting next week she'll be having a packed lunch again.
I'm a tad bit worried about falling into 'sandwiches, crackers, and a bit of fruit' that we ended up in that got her burned out on packed lunches in the first place. So I guess I'm looking for inspiration on what I could make her for lunch. Something that could ideally be prepared the night before, and something healthy and fresh, something that would travel well, and can be eaten cold. Oh yeah and more important than anything else something a 6 year old would like to eat. LOL thats not too much to ask is it?
Whats your fav packed lunch?
I was hoping this was a post packed with ideas because my kids are sick of their lunches. Always a sandwich, cereal bar, fruit, juice and a sweet. everyday. Hope you get some great ideas :)
ReplyDeleteThats what I worried about. Once you fall into that habit its a bit hard to break. Then its half eaten lunches and hungry children after school.
