What am I thinking of packing?
In many ways, exactly what my preschooler was eating. But, to be a little more specific:
- Salads. Huge colorful salads dressed generously.
- Leftovers from the previous night's dinner.
- Animal proteins of all kinds: eggs, meat, poultry, seafood, and full-fat cheeses.
- Finger foods - like cut produce with dip and trail mixes.
- Some treats here and there.
So, stay tuned. :)
What food projects are you thinking of tackling over the summer?
With baby #2 about to make her debut, I'm planning a frenzy of freezer cooking in the next few weeks. Got any make-ahead meals (or parts of meals) up your sleeve?
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to grown up lunch boxes. I find lunch for my husband a real challenge. Thanks! Ann
ReplyDeleteI know you like the laptop lunch boxes for your preschooler, what type of lunch box do you use for your husband?
ReplyDeleteHi, DaniGrace,
ReplyDeleteFor now, I like using rectangular single-serve Pyrex dishes (with plastic lids). The Pyrex serves us well because it's microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe, so I can pull together a lunch for my husband that heats up and cleans up pretty painlessly. I may find something that I like better in the future, but for now Pyrex is our choice for packed lunches where reheating/a microwave is an option.
