Lunchbox Laughings

Today we are back to the grindstone! That's right, back to making school lunches every day for the next 9-11 wks. I haven't been game to count up exactly how many weeks the term hold.

The challenge is to give the kids a healthy, appetizing lunch that they won't bring home or toss in the bin. I stress the word healthy.

My 7 yr old is fine for lunches. He eats just about anything I put in his lunchbox. It Mr5, starting year 1, who is the fussy eater. (Yes, I know, its my fault)

Lucky for me but unlucky for my kids, I am not a tuckshop mum. I don't give my kids tuckshop every week or even every term.

:O

I know, shock, horror. How can I be so cruel.

That's the easy part. Now that my food budget is cut, I don't have the extra $5 to send for food that I can make at home and much more yummy.

So today, the kids will take fresh fruit, a sandwich, a couple of biscuits, yoghurt, cheese sticks and I'll throw in a popper as their treat. Oh I can't forget the muesli bar but this is the last week of store bought muesli bars. From next week on I plan to make muesli bars for them and hubby from a recipe a friend posted at another site.

So stay tuned for more Lunchbox Laughings!
