Thinking I'll make my big boy's bento box lunches a regular feature since a certain friend of mine requested that they be spotlighted so she'll have some ideas. This is for you LaCrecia :-)
I only had to make two lunches this week since the cafeteria was serving three of his favorite things this week: macaroni & cheese, quesadillas and pizza.
TUESDAY
Monday night I made stuffed muffins for the boys. I got a request to include one in lunch for the next day. This time I made them with chopped up rotissiere chicken, cheddar cheese and peas. I also included a hot dog, mandarin oranges, sliced apples, grapes, a pop tart and Capri Sun. This lunch was a hit.
WEDNESDAY
Packed a sweet hawaiian bread roll, crispy chicken tenders, peas, sliced apples, oranges, Cheez-It crackers and a drink. The entire second level (chicken etc..) came back untouched. Turns out he didn't know it was there. Aaarrgh. So we will have to do a dry run the night before. He ended up eating it when he got home.
THURSDAY
Although Rhyan ate in the cafeteria today, I still packed him a snack because they get to eat a healthy snack at second recess. So this was his request, hawaiian bread, grapes and sliced apples. I included the strawberries even though he insisted he didn't like them. When I checked this afternoon, there wasn't a strawberry to be found.
I'm too tuckered out to include tomorrow's snack...maybe I'll add it on next week's post. Any ideas on what to tuck in these bento boxes? I'd love to hear them!
