Uh oh. Yesterday I realized that I have become THAT mom.
Yep. The PB & J mom.
3 times a week.
I should have seen the warning signs.
My kids telling me about their friends' awesome lunches, and the occasional "I traded...", and the stomping whenever I mentioned peanut butter...
I should have figured it out.
But I didn't.
Because who doesn't love a good PB &J?
Apparently my children.
So I need some lunch ideas.
Quick.
Turkey wraps . . . like a turkey sandwich, but on a tortilla. Homemade lunchables . . . crackers with meat and cheese cut out with a cookie cutter. I like a good pb&j myself though!
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to take the time to make cute stuff for lunch. But I do mix up the sandwiches with easy stuff like bagels, quesadillas, or our homemade version of lunchables (crackers, cheese, and meat-one favorite is pepperoni). Even something like leftover chicken salad or egg salad can be sent in a little container or even a baggie (if you can't trust them to bring containers home-I like to be able to just throw it all away).
ReplyDeleteAnd just because I don't think I've ever commented on your blog, so you probably don't know who I am, hi, it's Tawnya.
Have you seen this blog post? She talks a bit about containers, then creative lunches and then talks about some of recipes that work well as leftovers. I think the middle section is the best. Maybe it will at least give you some ideas. This other blog post also has some ideas.
ReplyDeletei meant "some of their recipes"
ReplyDeleteI am "that" Mom too... :)
