trying smoked salmon..

smoked salmon didn't really work in a lunch..  it made everything else smell and taste of fish, and while kat really loves salmon normally, she didn't want to eat any of it at lunch.  oh well.

a good friday

jam sandwiches are always a hit (unless they are boysenberry jam..)

chocolate bread

it isn't really chocolate bread, its pumpernickel.  but she thinks it looks like chocolate.  maybe that is why she didn't eat much - didn't taste like chocolate...

no love of stroopwaffles

kat used to love stroopwaffles and she was so excited to have them again.  alas i think i got the wrong brand as she didn't like them so much this time around (and i have to admit when i tried them they weren't too great..)  i still couldn't believe she didn't eat the thing containing sugar.

after a long weekend

last day of the week

i often wonder why kat eats some things and not others.  why just one plum?  why no oranges? why no juice today?  i don't think i will ever get answers to these questions...

menu: noodles with peas and romano (again), plums from our yard, grapes, satsumas, juice, banana muffins, peanut butter crackers

thursday

menu: noodles with peas and romano, nectarine, raspberries, pita chips, juice, satsuma, brocoli slaw, cheerio crispie square

jam issues

from this lunch i gathered that kat does not like boysenberry jam.  live and learn. (too bad though, the stars looked so nice..)

menu: jam star sandwiches, popcorn, banana muffins, juice, corn, grapes, kiwi, raspberries

field trip lunch

i am surprised she didn't eat of this lunch - walking in the woods usually gets up an appetite.  but she said she ran out of time.

menu: turkey on rye, cheerio crispie square, pretzels, strawberries, grapes, juice, corn, snap peas

beginning of another week

i can't believe kat didn't eat her animal crackers..  who doesn't like animal crackers? 

(argh this picture is fuzzy..  annoying)

menu: rice with peas and edamame, animal crackers, pretzels, kiwi, strawberries, juice, satsumas

oops

the after lunch part of this got thrown away accidentally (i had a wedding to attend and wasn't here when kat came home).  but i hear it was well eaten for the most part..

menu: jam sandwich, red and golden raspberries, snap peas and carrots, banana muffins, juice, yogurt covered raisins, pretzels

why doesn't kat eat her peas?

menu: noodles with peas & romano, banana muffins, apple, plums, snap peas, pretzels, juice

forgotten

this was the day that kat forgot her lunchbox at school.  a hiccup i had not anticipated.  but i kept my chin up ;)

menu: ham sandwich, grapes, cheerio crispie square, cucumber flowers, snap peas, satsuma, juice, popcorn

emerald plums

 

menu: noodles with peas & romano, emerald plums, juice, peanut butter crackers, orange pepper, cheerio crispies square, apple, black grapes

a new week

a well received lunch.  she pretty much hoovered the whole thing back. 

menu: chicken on sourdough, popcorn, apple juice, cheerio crispie square, strawberries, black grapes, satsuma

day two and i already have forgotten...

..to take a picture of the after part of lunch.  kat brought her lunch box home, and i took it in the kitchen and set out her box to take an after pic, then i got distracted by something and when i came back in the kitchen i promptly threw away the contents without taking a photo. not an auspicious beginning..

*also i got busted for putting candy in her lunch - a hershey's kiss.  this is a no-no at her new school. 

menu: pizza with daiya cheese (not popular around here), blueberries, carrots, juice, rice crackers, hershey's kiss, plums, strawberries.

back to lunch

the first day back to school after a long summer off..

i have decided to switch it up a bit this year - i can't promise it will be every single day and i can't promise to have both before and after pictures..  but i will try.

menu:  turkey sandwich with dill pickle, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, german apple cake, sugar snap peas, pear, juice
