Back to School

As we wind down from all the summer vacations we must start to think about school lunches and great snacks for our children. I am always looking for creative ways to get fruits and veggies in those meals without making it boring. This is what I came up with as a great lunch and snack. It's an all time favorite but with a little added fun and includes some of the essentials our children need. My reveal is the classic peanut butter and jelly and cut it out into a heart or one of their initials. I know what you are thinking, but before you think another thought here are a few suggestions. When shopping for bread try the wheat or whole grain thin sliced bread, to watch the sugar intake try sugar free jelly and just enough slathered on the bread to fool your eater.  As for dessert because you know I could not leave that out choose fruit that can be dipped in a yogurt or maybe a little caramel sauce, but if you have to give them something more fun then I would suggest a delicious oatmeal raisin cookie. Good luck with packing this year and I will keep searching for some fun but great food fines for our children!  Don't forget to add a little note to their lunch that simply says I love you!  Here is a site with more options Kid Friendly Lunches!
