Lunchboxes

Trying to pack a healthy lunch for a 7 year old can be hard.  I've found it to be well worth it though when I see what other kids are eating.  She helps pick out her food and I always include a treat (of course, she has no idea they are organic and corn-syrup free).  In addition, I pack her lunch in a stainless steel container from PlanetBox.  I totally recommend it!  It can be decorated with magnets of your choice and it's toxin free and good for the environment (no plastic waste).  Can't beat it!  Here are her favorite lunches from the first week of school.

The PlanetBox - it's AWESOME!

Pizza - Ezekiel Sprouted Grain English muffin with organic pizza sauce and shredded mozzerella

.  She loves it cold!

Sandwiches - sliced chicken breast with cheddar cheese between spinach

A few dinners from this week

So, it's been a long break, but I'm attempting to be back.  Here are few dinners we had this week:


Cinnamon Coconut Chicken
We baked the chicken at 350 in coconut milk and lime juice.  I added cinnamon and coconut on top.   It was juicy and yummy!  Baked potato chips, broccoli, and a salad rounded out a yummy meal.

Another meal was hamburger patties with sauteed peppers and onions with steamed carrots.  The grass fed beef was grilled.  Carrots were steamed with Spike seasoning and the peppers and onions were done in olive oil.  No buns allowed, but the kids think anything that looks like a burger, is a burger, even without a bun :)

No pictures from our other night, but it was ground turkey and organic marinara sauce.  We had salads with it and spinach noodles.  The kids loved it!  With these 3 meals, we made it 6 nights with leftovers
