Our School Lunch Menu

Just thought I would share a little system that my daughter and I made for lunches for school.  We created a two week menu that we repeat every two weeks.  She packs the lunches each day for me.

Monday:  Corn dog, grapes, carrot sticks with ranch.

Tuesday:  Bologna sandwich, yogurt with granola, cucumber slices with ranch.

Wednesday:  Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, fruit cup, granola bar.

Thursday:  Tuna fish wrap, boiled egg, piece of fruit (whatever is on sale that week).

Friday:  Mac and cheese, peas, applesauce cup.

Monday:  Lunchable, dill pickle, fruit cup.  (You can make your own lunchable with diced meat, cheese and crackers.)

Tuesday:  Bean burrito, chips and salsa, applesauce cup.

Wednesday:  Mini pizza, green beans, piece of fruit.  (I make these with hamburger buns, pizza sauce, toppings and cheese.)

Thursday:  Ham sandwich, yogurt, chips.

Friday:  Pot pie, corn, granola bar.

For very busy or working moms, we don't have time for all the great and creative lunches inspired by Pinterest!  Ha!  Sometimes, simple is best to stay in the game. :)

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan
