the goodbyn lunchbox: 2011

Back to school today and the healthy lunch box regime begins again! This year the kid will be helping choose what fruit, vegetables and snacks he'd like and we are trying a new dinner menu plan that leaves leftovers for lunch the next day. As I have mentioned before this kid isn't really a sandwich eater, so dinner options he loves!

We sit down on a Saturday morning and make a dinner meal plan then we go shopping together to get our weekly ingredients! It has been a lot of fun trying this so far and a fun cooking adventure trying new/budget meals for us at home!

Today we have:

- Pasta bake made with broccoli/zucchini/spinach/garlic/onion/ricotta/white sauce/pasta topped with plain pasta sauce and cheddar (like a parmigiana topping)

- Grapes & strawberries

- Sweet cornbread & blueberry mini muffin & an apple banana mini muffin
