Lunch Time!

Postby Dolly-VA » Wed Mar 21, 2007 12:25 pm

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 :shock: ):

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! :oops: )

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

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. :D

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

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. :D

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.
