Today, my preschooler's lunch featured (clockwise):
- Leftover Meaty Marinara (tomato sauce with ground beef, onions, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes)
- Chilled banana pudding topped with a handful of semisweet mini chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life, which are gluten, dairy, and soy-free and - oh, yeah - delicious. They suddenly went on clearance on Amazon earlier this spring - my theory is because Amazon doesn't like to ship chocolate during hot spring and summer months. I snagged'em at $0.64/bag, shipped!)
- A slice of sharp cheddar cheese
- Trail mix, consisting of pecans, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), dried blueberries, raisins, and chopped dates
- Baby carrots and green pepper slices, with a dip (sour cream + wasabi powder)
Thanks for posting the lunch box posts. These are great ideas! My son will be starting preschool next year and it is great to see healthy, unprocessed packed lunch ideas.
