Thanks for such great lunch ideas. Lunch can get boring rather quickly!
I was wondering…when you do freezer burritos does the tortilla get soggy during thawing/microwaveing??

I love the idea of freezing your smoothies! Any idea on how long that will keep? I’ve never done it. We love drinking smoothies around here, but frankly, I hate cleaning the blender each time to make it!

Also, I always pour a little bit of orange juice on our sliced apples. I usually don’t have lime juice around here, and the o.j. seems to work just as well.

I just have one extra help I discovered: If you pack orange slices with your apple slices, the oranges do the work of lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning. And our family thinks orangey-apples taste a bit better than lemony-apples.

I was just thinking this morning that I need some new lunch ideas for me and my 10-year old. By July, mac and cheese and sandwiches are starting to get a little old. Thanks for the fun ideas. Now, I just need to implement them.

Love the freezer smoothie idea. We go thru ALOT of smoothies here and it’s nice to know they can be made ahead. My kids love a “snacky” lunch – I don’t get it. LOL. We do english muffin pizzas too, which I like

Love the face! That’s super cute. “the bane of picky children everywhere” I always wondered if it was bane or vain or… Good to know

We are out of almost all easy foods. This am I poached eggs and served on toast that had been spread with cream cheese lol We’re out of butter and not buying any until we’ve moved.
