Lunch Made Easy: One for me and one for you!

Time to get back on the bandwagon... Little Miss and I have been eating way too  many sweets over the holidays. I still make sure her meals are balanced, but this Mama hasn't been doing a good job of sticking to my own regimen.

Little Miss has a romaine salad with cheddar cheese, carrots, and a slice of oven roasted deli turkey.
Top right is half a Barney Butter (almond butter ~ peanut free) & honey sandwich. Bottom right is a banana strawberry orange muffin I baked this morning. Little Miss's lunch is packed inside an EasyLunchBoxes container.

Mama has the same lunch with the exception of the half sandwich - I have lowfat cottage cheese instead.

  1. That looks delicious! I once read an article in a parenting magazine about a mom who ate what she fed her child for a week... Her child ate mostly "kid food" so it wasn't the best diet. I couldn't help thinking while reading it, that I would BETTER off, if I ate what I fed my kids... I am working on a 31 Day Challenge of Teaching Good Eaters. My post tomorrow will be about packing a lunch (even if you're at home.) I'd like to share a picture of your lunch and a link to your site. Is that ok with you?

  2. absolutely Julie!

    we typically are very good about lunches in our house ~ i pack mine while packing Little Miss's, so i make sure we both are getting our fruits & veggies. :) Holiday break has been a killer, lol, too many sweets and gooooooooood tempting foods. ;)
    so it was time to kick it into gear, even though she doesn't go back to school until next week.
