As kids, we were pretty picky eaters, but there was one thing you could always count on us eating --a peanut butter sandwich.
In our house, it often had honey on it rather than jelly, as our mom always seemed to have her own way of serving something slightly different than the norm. But either way, we loved our PB &J, or our PB& H. And if your kids are like the way we were, or like Tammy’s twin daughters, peanut butter goes down without a fight and it’s a good vehicle for getting nutrition into your kids.
Just because we are busy moms on the go doesn't mean we can't take a moment to stop and make ourselves a delicious lunch. Sometimes it feels like most of my lunches are eating up that last bite of the PB&J sandwich and the last half-eaten bite of apple that my kids don't finish in their lunch.
For the most part, our kids are pretty easy to feed. They usually eat the things that we put in front of them and if there's something new on their plate the rule is they have to at least try it, but they don't have to eat it if they don't like.
Do you have a sweet tooth? When lunchtime rolls around, do you often have an overwhelming sweet craving that could send you straight for the sugary baked goods, or worse?
The same sandwich and apple every day gets boring for kids. A little creativity makes the brown bag lunch more exciting and encourages your child to eat what you pack instead of trading it or giving it away. Getting your child involved in the planning and prep can also increase excitement about the food you pack.
Based on conversations I’ve been having with other moms, preparing healthy school lunches seems to have a lot in common with New Year’s resolutions; making them is the easy part. Being consistent about packing lunches day in and day out is not.
That said, how have you been doing? Still packing healthy lunches? Just packing them once or twice a week? Running out of recipe ideas?
