Lunch for September 26

Starting the week off with some pretty good lunches!
Chase had really wanted to take left over Fajitas but we had a power outage for 2 hours which interfered with our dinner plans so the kids lucked out and got McDonalds but Chase lost out and no fajitas for lunch but maybe later on in the week!


So now for lunch..and the Twins actually helped so they should eat everything they packed.

Chase has: A bagel with cream cheese and a piece of marble cheese, Veggies and Spinach dip, Goldfish crackers, Vanilla yogurt, a Granola bar and a Blue Raseberry juice pack.

Chloe has: Fresh baguette with nothing on it, some veggies and marble cheese, 3 Oreo cookies, Goldfish crackers, Chocolate pudding, Granola bar and a Cherry juice pack.

Over the Weekend

We went to the Fair!!

It was fun the rain held off and it was a nice day. Here are a few pictures!



Chase got his face painted ~ Spiderman!



Chloe got an Enchanted Unicorn!



Here is Daddy and Chloe on one of the rides. Chloe loved it! Chase went on with our Older girls but unfortunatly I didn't get any pictures.

Lunch for September 22

Better late then never right?

Ok so for lunch we tried the Apple Butter and WOWButter.
Chloe liked it when she tried it but did not end up eating her sandwich she now tells me its gross.
Chase loves the WOWButter so that's a plus.

So for Lunch...

Chase had: WowBuuter sandwich, Goldfish crackers, Banana yogurt, Tangerine, Blue Raspberry juice pack.

Chloe had: AppleButter sandwich, Goldfish crackers, Strawberry yogurt, Apple, Cherry juice pack.


Honestly the AppleButter smells gross and the constancy was very watery. Maybe I will try another brand.

Where does time go?

I know I still owe you guys some lunches...soon..like hopefully tonight..I had to catch up on sleep, work and life.

Lunch for September 21

I did it and got the Twins each a Thermos they were a great price. At first I got 2 at Wal-Mart one Cars and the other one Tinkerbell for $14.97. Then later while shopping at The Superstore I found cute ones for 6 BUCKS! soooo needless to say I picked those up and returned the other ones to Wal-mart before the twins spotted them.

Now on to lunch.

Chase has: Spiderman whole grain pasta for his new thermos, pretzel thins and marble cheese, Ritz bits Smore's (these are sooo yummy), a banana yogurt, raisins and a Blue Raspberry Juice Pack.

Chloe has: Disney Princess whole grain pasta for her new thermos, pretzel thins and marble cheese, Ritz bits Smore's (these are sooo yummy), a banana yogurt, raisins and a Cherry Juice Pack.

Hopefully the Thermos's are not too much of a mess we have been practicing opening them!!

Spread a little Love

Greatest find EVER!!

I found WOWButter...Found it in the Natural food section of Loblaws $4.99. Now we haven't had a taste test I can not convince the older kids to try it so it will be Chase who we try and pass it off to when he asks for a Peanut Butter sandwich or toast. FYI we got crunchy as they were out of smooth.




I also picked up so Presidents Choice Dulce de Leche and am hoping the twins take to this too for a once in a blue moon sandwich because the sugar in this is insane!




And finally I found Wellesley AppleButter. Chase will probably like this he loves applesauce and he is fairly adventurous...Chloe well it might take some convincing.




I will let you all know how all the spreads go ove with the twins and even the big kids if they try em!

Lunch for September 20

Alittle update on Chloe's lunch for the 19th..the chocolate tortilla was denied I guess since it contained tree nuts and a nut is still a nut and of course better safe then sorry. So back to the drawing board!

Now for Chase and Chloe's lunches for the 20th!

Chase has: Tostitos and salsa (I wish I could make homemade salsa!) but this is store bought Presidents Choice salsa, Homemade Dill and Bread and Butter pickles (Made by Moi!) Carrots, Rice Crispy Treats, Honeydew Melon, Tangerine and a Blue Raspberry juice pack.

Chloe has: Homemade dill pickles, 2 processed cheese slice and a bun, Carrots, Rice Crispy Treat, Honeydew Melon, Yogurt and a Blue Raspberry juice pack.

Tomorrow my goal is to try them both with a cold grill cheese sandwich but I might pick them up a Thermos and try some soups since Chloe has a bit of a cold some nice hot soup would probably be nice.

Lunch for September 19th

For today's lunch I was going to try Pogo's but the Twins decided they wanted Salad. Ya weird..what kid picks salad over Pogo's?

So here we go!

Chase's lunch: Romain Lettuce with Cesar dressing (we use Kraft Asiago Cesar dressing, Jam sandwich cut into Dolphins with the awesome sandwich cutters, Cantaloupe, Mini Oreo Cookies, Ketchup Mini Rice Cakes and a Peach Juice Box.

Chloe's Lunch: Romain Lettuce with Cesar dressing (we use Kraft Asiago Cesar dressing), A tortilla wrap with Chocolate spread ( it says it may contain Tree Nuts so I am hoping we can get away with this. But I sent in the packaging for the teacher so FINGERS CROSSED!) Cantaloupe, Mini Oreo's, Gold Fish Crackers and a Peach Juice Box.

Over the Weekend

Over the weekend we made pickles!! We made Dill and Bread and Butter! We have a great Farmers Market that runs on Saturday from 8am-3pm so I got a great deal on some pickling cucumbers and also got some great local produce!! Supporting our local farmers!

Lunch for September 16th

Ok so half a fail on this one. Only because Chase has another lunchable. Our trip to the grocery store was a quick one and I haven't planned out their lunches yet but I promise more original next week because I have gotten some really good ideas!




Chase's lunch consists of - Make your own peperoni pizza lunchable with a sweettart candy, Cantaloupe, Goldfish crackers, Mini oreos, Apple sauce in a squeezable container (fun!) and a Five Alive juice box.

Chloe's Lunch consists of - 2 slices of white bread cut into shapes using out new sandwich cutters and nothing on her sandwich there is also 3 mini dill pickles in there, Cantaloupe, Goldfish cracker, Mini oreos, Apple and a Five Alive juice box.

I have also included a picture of the Sandwich cutter which we picked up at Belly Laughs for $16.99.

September 15, 2011

So today is abit of a fail. Due to laziness and the need to do groceries both Chase and Chloe will be taking a lunchable to school today.
I am not sure what snack they will be taking as Daddy was running them to the grocery store before school!

Lunches

So I am going to "Document" as best I can Chase and Chloe's lunches. This is going to be trying as Chloe is a super picky eater, she would live off of Nutella and white rice if she could and the only meat she will eat is hotdogs.
Chase on the other hand is pretty easy going but he might like it one day and not like it the next.
So I have asked friends and family for lunch ideas and I am going to try them.
My goal is to take a picture of the kids lunches every night when we make them and then update if and what was eaten.
I think this will be fun and interesting to see how thier taste might change over the school year!
Stay tuned!
