Packing lunches

As a homeschooler, packing lunches for my kids isn't something that I do very often thank goodness!! But once a week we drive an hour to go to some really neat science classes at a children's museum and need to bring lunch. So once a week I have the kids pull out their lunchboxes and I fill them with something that is hopefully at least a little bit balanced and nutritious. Here are two weeks worth of lunches.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, homecanned peaches with yogurt, carrot sticks, tomatoes and olives and a mini pumpkin muffin.


And of course there are three kids, and they all need lunch so here they all are in a line.


This is my lunch. There's leftover tamale pie from our dinner the night before in the thermos, an apple, a bit of low fat cheese and carrot sticks.


The next week, this is our lunch, most of the kids stuff was made by Har Simran. YAAAAY! Quesadillas with salsa in the tiny containers, tomato mozzarella salad with balsamic dressing, organic cheese filled crackers and frozen peas and corn which will be somewhat thawed by the time we eat, but if not my strange kids actually don't mind eating them frozen.


Sorry for the weird angle on this one, I was trying to be artistic. :-P


My lunch is a piece of a crustless quiche I made the other day, some steamed brocolli tossed with tamari and chile sauce, an apple and a bar.


Thankfully I don't have to do this everyday!
