School Lunches
I was asked to start a page because of our school lunches and bento systems. So here goes!!!
Hi, everyone. I'm a SAHWM to 4 beautiful girls. 7, 6, 3, and 1. I have a kindergartener and First grader. Not happy with our current lunch program so I pack their lunches 75% of the time. Almost everything is organic and made from scratch. Their favorite lunch is pizza lunchables! I make the pizzas in bulk and freeze them. (I'll include my recipe down below.) It's important to me that they get nutritious and yummy food for lunch.
Their current lunch boxes are bentgo brand. You can find them on amazon now. I got them off zuily and groupon for 10 dollars less than amazon. This is what I love about this system. It has 2 sections. The insert and leakproof cover. I have bought lots of extra inserts and can pack a week in advance. I cover them in plastic wrap and then pop them into the case every night. A quick rinse off the cover and its ready to go. It's the only leakproof system in a decent price range. Yumbox is also set up the same way but its a lot more expensive. I've packed sauces, dressings and syrup and have not had any leaks yet.
The portion sizes are good for my children right now, but I may have to do something different as they get a little older. I'm thinking maybe 2nd or 3rd grade.
The girls get complimented on their lunches a lot by teaching staff. They will come home and say so and so wants you to pack their lunch! The positive reinforcements they get is very helpful. I don't want them thinking they are missing out by not buying. So I try to make it as fun and colorful as possible.
