Lunch Made Easy: Spaghetti Sandwich #Leftovers

When we have {gluten free} spaghetti for dinner, Little Miss loves when I make "garlicky toast" (as she calls it) along side.
I typically make our garlic bread by toasting in the oven Udi's bread and/or bun slices (whatever is handy), add Earth Balance spread, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning.
Little Miss takes her slices and forks her spaghetti right on top of the slice eating it like an open faced sandwich. That's her absolute favorite way to eat it. Whyyyy it never occurred to me to pack up leftovers that way for her school lunch until now, is beyond me... but when I asked her if that's what she wanted, she gave a very excited "YES!" in reply. 

Non-Dairy Buttered Noodles with Italian Shrimp #Recipe

I love when a dinner idea comes together so deliciously. I also love when there are yummy leftovers to pack for lunch the next day.
Since personally going dairy free (for health reasons), I've been trying to plan meals as best I can to fit everyones dietary needs, and wants, in my household. Gluten free... Dairy free... Nut free... lower protein (less meat)... more Omega-3... 
This dish was a hit! It was filling without being "heavy" and was able to fit into our needs as a family.
(Depending on the brands you use, this recipe can also be egg free & soy free.)

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday - Pasta & Marinara

When I pulled up my MOMables menus for the week, it was perfect that pasta & marinara was on the list this week - I had already planned on making spaghetti this evening so it was simple enough to throw in extra noodles for lunch!
