Lunches and Few Dinners

A post on a working moms message board I read got me thinking.  I plan on doing a post about food prep/feeding/schedule/cooking soon.  I think its interesting to get a perspective on how different people handle the task of meal prep/healthy eating.  

Onto the last few weeks:

snap peas + dried cherries + strawberries + pizza

refried beans + orange (she loves to peel these herself) + chicken quesadilla + bunny cookies

yogurt + berries + angel hair pasta and sauce + pepperoni + string cheese (not pictured)

ravioli + turkey hot dog + grapes and raspberries with shredded coconut + orange

pizza + fruit snacks + orange + snap peas

These pizzas are super easy to make - just a sandwich round, organic ragu (we always keep this around and sometimes I even mix carrot puree into it - shhhhhhh), cheese and turkey pepperoni.  Microwave for 20 seconds to melt everything.  Easy, not greasy and somewhat balanced.

 enchiladas + quesadilla + some chicken + cheese + berries.

turkey hard tacos  + ground turkey + black beans and corn + a few chips + strawberries.

Lunch Rut

Soup starter kit and added extra frozen mixed veggies and chicken.  I love soup, but The Husband doesn't consider it a meal so it makes a good lunch option for me.  Combined with sliced apples and a string cheese.

   

 

 

 

I am doing my best to provide her with healthy options

ritz crackers + cheese + turkey + raspberries + greek yogurt

pizza with turkey peperoni + snap peas + dried cherries + strawberries

wheat wrap with cheese and turkey + cherries and chocolate chips + gold fish + strawberries and grapes

turkey meatball + orange + cheese pizza + no bake energy ball

turkey and cheese quesadilla + energy ball + pretzels + orange

Olivia Lunches...

Olivia starting her school from this September trying to create some lunch ideas with some nutrients into her Lunch.

ravioli with organic sauce + shakeology oat brownie + snap peas + yogurt

yogurt + grapes + cheese quesadillas + lemon pepper chicken

berries + cheese cubes + crackers + turkey sausage breakfast pattie

strawberries and grapes with coconut flakes + green beans + sand which round pizza

chicken enchilada casserole + cheese + blueberries + pretzel chips

pizza + grapes + trail mix with popcorn, fish and raisins

ravioli + sausage + fruit salad for dinner

This is a good example of how we can use left overs and small bits in her lunch.

For Raj, lemon pepper chicken and veggies with green beans, squash, zucchini and tomatoes Sauté with garlic.
