Get Excited for School Day 3: Plan Meals

[Cafe Kate]

Do you make lunch every day for your kids? What do you pack? Today's challenge is to come up with a few new lunch ideas. Here are a couple easy ideas to get you started.

• Popcorn
• Pasta Salad
• Carrots and Hummus
• Trail Mix

If you're feeling really ambitious, think about some easy week night dinners as well!

What do your kids normally take for lunch at school?

My kids eat at school, the school offers a lunch way better than I can provide and cheaper.

we homeschool so we dont need to pack a lunch on most days...

But when we do its usually... half a sandwich, apple slices with PB, trail mix, carrots with ranch or hummus, 2 cookies or a "dessert item", a bottle of water and a thermos of juice...

This is my first yr having a child in school. I think we will pack if she doesnt like what is being served at school. She would mostly prefer Bologna sandwiches. And probably some baby carrots. She used to be a real picky eater, but lately she has been trying everything we make.

my kids would rather eat at school, lol!! They prefe something hot rather than a sandwich, they do all the food groups, heck i'd rather eat there it sounds good!!

My kids take their lunches when the school is having something they do not like. Apples, raisins, veggies.

My dd will be in half day kindergarten this year, so I don't have to pack lunches yet.
