Here are the school lunches I packed September 25-29…
This week was mostly hot weather so I packed cold lunches every day but Tuesday. I packed a hot lunch that day, only because I had leftover chili from our huge 65-person meal that Sunday. The kids love chili, so they were excited I had packed this!
Kiya has informed me that she is getting tired of pickles in her lunch. Fair enough. I shall now hold off on the pickles. :)
Lunches I Packed September 25-29, 2023
Monday: Cottage Cheese, Fruit Cups, Packaged Muffins, and Cucumbers (for Brayden)
Tuesday: Chili with fritos and shredded cheese, Pear Cups, and a Peanut Butter Bars.
Wednesday: Chicken Salad on Croissants, Carrots with Dip, and Applesauce Cups
Thursday: Cheese and Pepperoni with Crackers, Yogurt Cups (found these whole milk yogurt cups at Aldi!), Mixed Veggie Bag for Brayden and Pickles for Kiya (<— that afternoon she requested no more pickles for a while please :) :) :) )
Fun Friday: Sandwiches, Chips (Kiya actually chose pistachios for her “chips”), Applesauce, and a Treat of their choice
How wonderful that Kiya has confidence to respectfully communicate her preferences and know they will be respected :) Communication can be such a tough skill to learn, especially for children with a trauma background. You’re doing a great job Laura!
Your encouragement means so much. THANK YOU!
