It is much easier to prepare Christian's lunch box the night before. It also gives me the time to be a little creative compared to rushing something together in the morning. Tonight I made a dino-shaped sandwich with deli chicken meat, 1/2 cup of grapes, and in honor of the gold medal men's hockey game tonight 1/2 cup of maple leaf and star shaped cucumbers. I saved back the outter trims of the cucumber for another lunch or snack.
Ok so I have to admit that breakfast at our household during school days had been very rushed and not so healthy. I would always let Christian pick out the oh so common cereal box that we all see advertised on TV. I'd pour a heap of sugary cereal with 2% milk into a bowl and set it on the table. I've obviously been slacking and taking the easy, unhealthy way out. Breakfast is referred to as the most important meal of the day, but somehow I don't think that a bowl full of sugar is what they are talking about. Breakfast is supposed to refuel my child and help boost his brain power for a busy day at school. Recently I've been making a better attempt to start Christian's day out with a healthier meal. I am keeping on my track of incorporating more fruits and because we have a super-sized box of cornflakes in the pantry I figured we'd have to use them up first. At a closer look at the labeling though I realized that the cornflakes aren't so bad compared to...

ReplyDeleteWhen I was packing Christian's lunch into his bag this morning he asked if he could have a peach insted of grapes. So that's what I did.
