Throw it all in a bowl and mix, let it sit for a couple of minutes stirr and that's it. Fry in the oil coated pan (I use the largest we have). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2381165 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:01:49 +0000 littlejoy 2381165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She goes to school, but I have her at home on Fridays, and whenever school is out (5 weeks throughout the year). We rotate through things like: quesadillas, burritos, curry, hummus wraps, english muffin pizzas, grilled cheese + soup, pb&amp;j, and "chik'n" nuggets + hummus. I usually print off the school's lunch menu for each month to give me extra ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2381062 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 21:20:24 +0000 Mae 2381062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On our frequent rotation: quinoa "burgers" with cheese, meatballs, veggie omelet, chicken sausage, chicken nuggets, cheese and crackers, mac n cheese, deconstructed sandwich, peanut butter crackers or toast. </p> <p>Then I add a cooked veg and fresh fruit to one of the above. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2381005 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 20:22:50 +0000 Nutella 2381005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will consistently eat eggs for lunch so I go with that as it's an easy win. Add in grated veggies to mKe an omelette sometimes, but he usually just loves scrambled in coconut oil. And puffed corn on the side. Otherwise it's toast with PB or avocado. Cherry tomatoes are a good side too. Lunch is totally our easiest meal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2380130 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 11:15:20 +0000 SweetiePie 2380130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grilled cheese and tomato soup, pasta, eggs, I also make and freeze mini meatloaves and use those if I have nothing else, I freeze chili in small portions, sometimes I just do frozen veggies and cheese. I always keep cooked quinoa on hand and mix veggies and stuff into it.<br /> When all else fails, mishmash of stuff. Yogurt, cheese, crackers, chickpeas. Nothing cohesive but I try to get a few food groups in somehow. :-)<br /> Yours are older though so may be more opinionated :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2380109 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 11:01:15 +0000 Orchid 2380109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do pasta a couple of times a week because it's quick and can be prepared an endless number of ways. Sandwiches, avocado toast, fruit, raw veggies, hummus, guacamole, and beans feature often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2380088 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 10:50:34 +0000 daniellemybelle 2380088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftovers make it into the rotation a lot. Otherwise, it's often a PB sandwich or turkey &amp; cheese (no bread) with a fruit and/or veggie side like grape tomatoes, carrot sticks, strawberries, peaches, etc.</p> <p>We go to Chick Fil A every now and then too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379934 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 09:22:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2379934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: we do a similar snack style lunch too. Or grilled cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379921 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 09:11:37 +0000 looch 2379921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Can you share how you do the sugarless pancakes? Metric measurements are fine. I'll practice at my inlaws! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379896 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:51:46 +0000 Bao 2379896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Macaroni and cheese, waffles, grilled cheese, pizza...kid foods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379895 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:49:36 +0000 winniebee 2379895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My younger is at home w/ nanny on my work days and older is home 2 days a week. We typically eat lots of leftovers - pasta, pizza, leftover stews/soups/chili....then also....wrap sandwiches (3.5 year old)...grilled cheese and soup, PB sandwich, quesadillas, chicken nuggets, mac n cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379872 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:23:51 +0000 yin 2379872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftovers. It's the most convenient for me, and it's hard enough making breakfast and dinner everyday. Lunch is my time to take a break, and the kids are used to leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379871 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:22:15 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2379871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do cheese, crackers, hummus, carrots and cucumbers-a snacky sort of lunch. Or noodles-she would eat noodles every day if she could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379868 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:20:32 +0000 Pumuckl 2379868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: We do scrambles eggs with some pan fried potatoes (Bratkartoffeln), sugarless big pancakes (more like crepe/Pfannkuchen) with applesauce or even hartier stuffings, grilled oven veggies, pasta or store bought gnocchi with an easy sauce, potatoes with quark and occasionally some yoghurt with cornflaskes or müsli. I also like prebacked pizza crust and then just adding the toppings for a quick lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379867 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:20:03 +0000 hilsy85 2379867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>grilled cheese, quesadilla, meatballs, chicken hot dogs, pasta, pizza, turkey and cheese sandwiches. not very exciting stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379863 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:15:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2379863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also do a lot of sandwiches- toaster oven grilled cheese (I can even sneak a slice of turkey breast on them now- she's not a big meat eater), pb&amp;j; hummus with crackers and veggies, cut up cheese and crackers and frozen veggies, leftovers, bagel with cream cheese. Sometimes just yogurt and fruit as long as she didn't have that for breakfast. </p> <p>It does get pretty repetitive for both of us. She doesn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379862 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:14:20 +0000 lamariniere 2379862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the ideas! I'm kind of worried that we are going to be eating sandwiches or leftovers every day, so this is good inspiration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379861 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:12:31 +0000 bushelandapeck 2379861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sandwiches and leftovers here too. DS is always asking for PB&amp;J, grilled cheese or grilled ham and cheese, and quesadillas. I offer leftovers first but he usually refers a sandwich and eats leftovers for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379857 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:08:41 +0000 MrsSRS 2379857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quesadillas, scrambled eggs, leftovers, ramen with frozen peas and a poached egg, fish sticks, more leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379856 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:08:35 +0000 brownepiano 2379856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes leftovers if it was food he liked. Right now my 21 month old loves hummus so he eats a lot of wraps with hummus, and some carrots, banana, pretzels for sides. We also do bread and jelly with some pieces of cheese. He also loves English muffin pizzas (it's all about the pepperoni and cheese). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahmwhat-do-your-kids-eat-for-lunch#post-2379853 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:06:50 +0000 fancyfunction 2379853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a lot of sandwiches - pb&amp;j, grilled cheese, hummus, avocado toast.

We are off for two days right now and I'm already racking my brain for lunch ideas. :silly: I WAH, so I mainly eat leftovers or throw together whatever we happen to have. My LOs' daycare will be closed for two weeks over the holidays and I need some inspiration so that we aren't eating the same things all the time! (My LOs are 2 and almost 5). </p>
