Summer is here, no more school lunches :)

I still have to pack for DH and food for trips to the pool and park so I think I am going to try to post more make ahead and portable foods. Towards the end of the summer I will need to stock up for the lunch box season and make some freezer items to grab and go for the new school year. I will probably post them on my other blog and link from here.

Tuesday May 27th

No lunches to pack yesterday.

Today the older kids bought lunch at school. DD made her own lunch and I only packed for DH. He had a chef salad with croutons, dressing and a side of berries.

OK, I'm posting some of the pictures I took over the last 2 weeks before I start back to daily posting (hopefully), I still don't have my laptop fixed but I think I can use my children's computer set up to get back to blogging. Wish me luck (and patience).

Computer issues....

I will be taking a bloggy break while my laptop is being repaired. I have been struggling to load pictures, hold a wireless connection and now I am having power issues so I am taking a break from posting lunches until I get my computer back. I will still be around but it won't be as convenient to post.

See you soon :)

Some lunches so far this week...

I only made DD one lunch this week. Monday she had a sore throat, Tuesday I packed leftover spaghetti, wheat bread and yogurt with cereal to sprinkle on top and Wednesday she had a cooking class.

DH took wings and potato wedges with a orange and a banana. I did not get a picture of his lunch so here is a picture of the food still on a tray.

DS1 had Mexican rice and beans, yogurt with Kashi cereal to sprinkle on top and a orange

DH also had rice and black beans with tortillas, cheese, sour cream and a salsa packet leftover from a taco salad. I bought some spicy sausage on sale today so I cooked it up and added it to the rice and beans.

I needed to test the sausage to see if I should go back and buy more. Its a marked down item at my local GFS. It was really good but I was afraid to buy much without trying it. I think I will go back tomorrow and buy more because it was really good. DS2 worked in the cafeteria all week so I did not have to pack him lunches.
