Lunch Slump




I started taking pictures of the lunches I made to keep a photo record of lunch ideas and also remember what works and what doesn't. Sometimes I still feel like I could get a little more creative with lunch. This is an example of that. Ham and cheese cubes on picks, strawberries with yogurt dip and ants on a log. An advantage of putting food on picks for kids is that it is easy and accessible to them. When your kids only get about 15 minutes to eat(sometimes less) they need all the help they can get. I'm glad my kids can sit down, open up and start eating rather than stand in a long lunch line and be left with only 5 minutes to eat!

  3. So excited to find your blog. I have been in such a lunch slump of late - makes me glad the school year is over in a couple of weeks. I regularly pack lunch for my 2 girls. I used to blog about it. Anyway, glad to know you are here - I am always looking for more ideas!

  5. Lynn-they are made by Wilton I think and are available in the cake decorating section of the grocery store or Michael's.
