Little's Lunches

 Is anyone else dragging from the ridiculous time change like I am? We had a busy weekend and I ended up waiting to make lunches until this morning and it totally reinforced why I always make lunch boxes the night before! I am not a morning person anyway so I'm moving slower at 6am than I am in the evenings. I did not love the idea of messing up the whole kitchen and having to pull so much stuff out of the fridge in the morning. After dinner, when all the food is already out that's when I pack up what I can of the leftovers and fill in the rest with fresh fruits and veggies. What's your best time saving tip for packing lunch boxes?

 Happy Monday! We survived the first week of braces and I am still in awe of how quickly kids can adjust and adapt! The first few days were super uncomfortable, but now she's feeling just fine! So here was my attempt at 4 days worth of soft/easy to chew meals and it went surprisingly well. At home she had lots of yogurt, cheesy mashed potatoes, broccoli cheese soup, refried beans, scrambled eggs and

 Monday: ham salad, mini pita bread, Ranch, cucumber slices, blood oranges, strawberries

I use Yumbox (here) lunchboxes and I love them! They make it SO easy to put lunches together, keep everything separated and are leak proof!! Also, the little Animal Food Picks (here) keep things cute and so colorful!! These Sistema dip containers are the perfect size to include wet or runny items to dip into. I frequently use these Silicone muffin cups to separate items that aren't exactly messy but I still want to keep from touching everything else in the box. The height of the dip containers and muffin cups are perfect in the Yumbox Panino and the Yumbox Original

Hey there! Happy Monday!
We are back in the swing of things after Thanksgiving week off and here are the lunches I packed with a very empty fridge and no energy to go to the store while unpacking and washing what felt like everything we ever owned after getting back home. While on vacation we bought a lot of sliced cheese and lunch meat for sandwiches but we never ended up being at the rental house long enough to use it so I froze it all and I am SO glad I did that- it saved me last week! My kids recently are obsessed with the sandwich rounds that I used in place of traditional sliced bread- they're just really thin wheat bread rounds that I've seen at almost every grocery store I've ever been to. Look for them if you can- they're really yummy!

Monday: colby jack cheese, cheese tortellini, cucumber slices, black olives, raspberries, BBQ Ranch, oranges

Tuesday: Colby Jack and Ham on a Sandwich Thin,  cheddar cheese star crackers, pickles and black olives, orange wedges

Wednesday: deli sliced ham, purple grapes, cucumber slices, caesar dressing, baby tomatoes and black olives, cornbread cracker sticks

Thursday: Turkey and Meunster Sandwich Thins, cucumber slices, black olives, carrot sticks, ranch, dried pears

Friday:  Chef Salad (romaine, ham, shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes), raisins, cheddar cheese star crackers, orange slices

I use Yumbox (here) lunchboxes and I love them! They make it SO easy to put lunches together, keep everything separated and are leak proof!!
