Lunch Made Easy: DIY Mini Pizzas {Build Your Own Gluten Free Pizzas}

Each time I visit my daughter at school during a lunch period or while chaperoning a field trip, I can't help but look and notice what all the other kids have packed/ are eating. Many of them pull a Lunchables from their backpack. Some even accompanied by a can of soda.
I get it - it's easy. And the labels are so deceiving... "Whole Grains", "Great Source of Calcium", "100% White Meat", etc.
It's when you actually flip the container over and read what's really in those items that it makes you shake your head.  That was me. I use to buy those things. Especially when they were on sale. 
Super easy, right!? But oh, so, wrong for your health.  Then trying to explain to your child why they can't have them is difficult. Granted Little Miss cannot because of the allergens & gluten, but it's still tough since she feels like she's missing out.
That's why we make our own! For years now, we've done our own homemade cracker stackers, nachos, nuggets, etc. 
Today is no exception! Little Miss was so thrilled to have her DIY Mini Pizzas packed for school, just like her friends.

Lunch Made Easy: Homemade Lunchable with SunButter & Jelly #AllergyFriendly #GlutenFree

One of the best and easiest school lunch ideas are Homemade Lunchables.  
It doesn't always have to be with cheese and meat slices either. For Tuesday's lunch, I made one for Little Miss with SunButter & Jelly. That was she can spread them on her crackers all by herself and enjoy!

{Christmas Countdown} Advent Lunches: Holiday Lunchable

Wednesday marks only 21 days left until Christmas! I love celebrating the month of December with our Advent Lunches... but at the same time, it's crazy to see the days tick by so quickly! Ahh!

 

I'm also traveling for work this week - I'm actually writing this post while waiting at the airport for my flight this evening. Traveling means lots of lunch planning and packing ahead for my Little Miss while I'm away.

 

That's when I like to break out yummy ideas or tips I've learned from MOMables to help me plan. One of Little Miss' favorites? A Homemade Lunchable... or "MOMable", I should say. ;)

Lunch Made Easy: @MOMables Gluten Free School Lunches

My love of MOMables is deeper than my weekly recipe contributions to their blog. 
The menu plans, tips, and bonus recipes are amazing inspiration and are used regularly in our household! 
This week, we put MOMables to use in different ways each day. As always, our school lunches are gluten free, peanut free, tree nut free, & more! 

Lunch Made Easy: School {Allergy Free} Bento Round Up!

Due to the cold, snowy weather here it was another short week for Little Miss. She actually only had three days of school (two were snow days) but I had already made her school lunch for Thursday, so she just ate it at home. Easy peasy!
Here's what she enjoyed this week {Gluten Free, Peanut Free, Tree Nut Free, & More}:

Lunch Made Easy: Bunny Box

Little Miss requested some of her Chicken Apple Sausage in her lunch for tomorrow. I try to mix things up so I don't serve the sausage the same way every time, so I figured I'd do a different take on the "MOMables: Classic Deli Box" I made for Little Miss a couple weeks ago that she loved!

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday

It's Monday, so that means another installment in our MOMables Monday posting series!!

Lunch Made Easy: Back to School!

Little Miss is back at it tomorrow (Monday)! She is actually very excited to go back to school and see her friends. She had a playdate twice with one of her BFF's over break, and sees another at church. After service today she told me she missed them all. (Aww, lol)

I'm looking forward to getting back to normalcy and our schedule. (Even though it's always hectic, hehe.)
