Ok, it's a start...I have taco salad with a Christmas tree tortilla and a cheddar cheese star, sliced cucumbers, pears and some tomatoes with a Santa pick.

Birthday Cake

Lunch looks a little sparse, huh? Well the kids did not eat everything I sent in for today so I have scaled the portions back just a bit...they are still not 100%:(



Both Thomas and Stella have a slice of birthday cake (we went to a late dinner tonight for my birthday:) The twins didn't have any cake so I promised I would pack them a piece...Yum-O), a turkey roll up, sliced oranges, sliced cucumbers and some blueberries.

I'm Back....

I feel like I had been posting for a solid week that our house was fighting off some sort of sickness. I had one child home on Thursday and the other home sick on Friday and then I was sick Friday night and all weekend:( Not fun! I hope we are all on the mend and can get back to some normalcy:)

Butternut Squash

We are still fighting off some sickness. Thomas stayed home from school today. He said he stomach hurt so not full fledged sickness...still I am trying to feed them well. Tonight for dinner we had this yummy (and easy) chicken salad and some butternut squash. The kiddos loved it and I had just enough to send in some leftovers.


Thomas has some chicken salad with ranch dressing on the side, some butternut squash, sliced oranges, sliced kiwi and some grapes.

Turkey Chili

I am still trying feed the kiddos well to fight off any sickness trying to sneak in. I made some homemade turkey chili tonight and loaded it up with lots of yellow and orange peppers, some red, white and pink beans and also diced some fresh tomatoes. It was yummy! I also had leftovers:)


Thomas has leftover turkey chili, a witchy plum, some blue chips and then some star fruit (which he loved!) and some kiwi.

I always love checking out all the other lunches at What's for Lunch Wednesday!

Star Fruit

I feel like the twins are on the brink on getting sick. I have heard a sneeze here and there and they have been extra tired at the end of their day. So, I have made sure they are taking their vitamins, tried to get them in bed earlier and focused on packing healthy lunches. It is one of the ways I can try to protect their little immune systems. I cooked salmon and yummy homemade butternut squash for dinner and here is their lunch for tomorrow:



They both have a turkey roll up, some veggie sticks, cut up strawberries, sliced oranges and some star fruit and sliced cucumber. This is the first time I have ever tried star fruit...so yummy!

Mandarin Chicken Salad Sandwich

Tomorrow both Stella and Thomas have some oranges, sliced cucumbers, two grape tomatoes, an open faced mandarin chicken salad sandwich and a bat cookie.

Does a Pumpkin Pick Make it Spooky?

I am so overwhelmed on all fronts this week. Work is stressful and I do not have enough time to do it and at the same time I feel the strongest pull to be with my kiddos this week. I am ridden with mommy guilt but....one foot in front of the other. This is lunch...not a super one but better than what they are serving in the cafeteria:)



Both Thomas and Stella have peanut butter in mini pita's, some raw veggies, mandarin oranges and two bat cookies.

Jack-O-Tangerine

Thomas and Stella's lunch looks the same so I am only posting one picture.

They have the last of the grapes, a jack-o-tangerine, heart shaped sticky rice and some pasta salad, and a mummy dog...or is it a ninja?? Ha! The mummy dogs I packed earlier this week were too big so I made half mummy dogs:)

I can not wait to check out the other lunches at What's for Lunch Wednesday!
