Homeschool World Forum

Since this is the Just for Chat area, I decided to ask what my kids ask me EVERY SINGLE DAY. What's for lunch?! (Because, obviously, all that brain work turns them into ravenous beasts.) We're kind of in a rut so I'm hoping for inspiration.

Our typical lunch menus are (this has been the daily lunch meal for the last 2-3 WEEKS ):

9 yo dd: pizza rollups (soft corn tortillas heated, with provolone, rolled up and pizza sauce for dipping), an apple or orange and maybe something munchy (chips, popcorn, etc.)

12 yo ds: a mound of thin sliced ham (on a plate), a couple jelly rollups (soft corn tortillas heated, jelly spread and rolled up), and 2-3 containers of apple sauce.

mom: whatever's left over (or I graze...bad bad bad! )

A corned beef sandwich with cheese melted over, canned soup, a quesadilla, or pb&j.

I used to struggle so much with "What shall we have for lunch today?" Now we have the same thing on Monday, same thing on Tuesday etc. I do the same for breakfast. I only had to come up with five ideas and just have to remember which one to have on which day of the week.

Kimberly, that sounds like a great plan! I think I may steal it.

Steal away, Dolly! I am flattered that I actually had an idea someone felt they could use.

Kimberly we do almost the same thing.
Monday - PB and J
Tuesday - Soup and Salad
Wed - PB and J
Thursday - Soup and Salad
Friday - PB and J

Sometimes we change PB and J to another kind of sandwitch.

All meals are served with fruit and veggie

Thanks for sharing your lunches, Nettie. I see you rely heavily on PB&J sandwhiches, too.

Here is ours:

Monday: PB&J
Tuesday: Raimen noodles
Wedndesday: PB&J
Thursday: mac & cheese
Friday: pancakes (cooked by oldest son)

We also serve each meal with fruit and sometimes a salad. On Friday we have a half day of school and then have family time since my husband has the day off.
