Chicken and Cheese Quesildillas

Cheese and grapes today for snack. They both said they really liked the hummus yesterday although they didn't eat much of it. They said that was because I only packed 5 carrots. When I said "what about the crackers?" they said that they didn't know they could dip the crackers.... ok..... Fine with me, I'll just pack more carrots next time!
Lunch today was chicken and cheese quesildillas and a little container of yogurt dip, cooked cauliflower, berries, orange and two chocolate kisses.

Hummus

Woo hoo - a new snack food! The boys both decided that they like hummus! Yippiee! Todays snack was hummus with carrots and crackers for dipping. I realize that cheese crackers were probably not the best choice to go with hummus but they love cheese cracker so I thought I'd get better buy in on the hummus...
This is S's lunch. On top he had some Wild Puffs cereal, fruit leather, grilled chicken and some BBQ sauce in the bear container. On the bottom he had blackberries and oranges. I love it when berries are on sale for $0.88 a pack in the winter! A had the same lunch except with egg salad instead of chicken.

We are back!

Between Thanksgiving break and travel, the boys haven't been to school in a while! But we are getting back into the swing of things today. Snack for E on the left is cheese sticks, apple and orange slices. S's snack on the right has peanuts, orange and apple slices. I like putting orange slices between apple slices - it keeps them form browning. :)

Lunch today was some bunny shaped mac and cheese (Thanks to my SIL whose kids rejected this brand of pasta). I added some green beans which the boys won't appreciate but will eat. :) In the side container, I packed apple slices, freeze dried pears and some cookies left over from our plane trip - gotta love new and exciting snacks!
This is a photo of one of the lunches packed for the airplane. Quesildillas, carrots, orange peppers and grapes.

Award: Kreative Blogger


Thanks Astrid for the award! Here are 7 things about me.

1. I used to work as a structural engineer before having kids. That was so long ago (7+ years)!
2. I watch almost no TV.
3. I love to organize and hate to clean so I have a clutter free but filthy house.
4. I picked my college based on which did NOT require a public speaking course.
5. I have Crohns disease.
6. For 7.5 years I ate a diet with no grains, sugar, lactose, potatoes or corn in an attempt to control my Crohns disease.
7. I am embarrassed to tell most people that I keep a blog about what I pack my kids for lunch each day. :)

I know I'm supposed to pass this on but.... I'm lazy... And everyone seems to have gotten it already...

PB&J

Here's today's snack of apple and cheese. Pretty boring...

For lunch the boys had the last of these single serving apple sauce packs, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some wild puffs, an orange and a cookie.

No lunches next week due to Thanksgiving break!
