School's Junk

So let's talk about the school food, not really the healthiest right? Actually it's not healthy at
ALL except from some fruit here or there, but who knows if something is wrong with that! So the point is it's not very reliable. Anyway don't stress, I eat that food, am I dead? NO, or else I wouldn't be writing. (I at least I hope I wouldn't be) Now the food might give me stomach problems, make me want to puke, but as I said before NOT DEAD!!
Now if your really stressed, pack them a lunch. Don't "have time" make them pack it themselves!! Plus if your "soo" worried, you should find time. It's not that hard. If your kids end up buying lunch, make sure they have a healthier snack when they get home.
Here are some lunch ideas for kids who are tired of plain PB&J:
- Peanut Butter & Honey (PB&H)
- PB&J or PB&H wrap
- " " on waffles
- pasta
- mac & cheese
There is soo many different things you can do! Write to me and tell me how you were creative at iusedtohateveggies@gmail.com. There is a contest and if you win I will post your name and recipe on the blog!!

Tips From NO Veggies To SOME Veggies

Most kids don't really eat healthier food or care for it, so getting your child to actually eat veggies might be a task. So throwing all the healthier food on your kids right away might not be a good idea. You should start by just introducing your family to some veggies, not making them scarf down every vegetable you see. Also eating healthy is not just about fruits and vegetables it's about how you eat so instead of hamburgers and fast food EVERY night (I'm not saying you can't have them at all just
onc
e a week at the most) start throwing in a salad of a plate of grilled veggies, such as bell pepper, onions, and zucchini.
Here is a recipe for a salads. This salad is also good for wraps. If you want to try a wrap just add some flour tortillas to the ingredients. There is also a Costco kit you can try but you will have to provide the lettuce, the vegetables or the mandarin oranges.

Chinese Chicken Salad

Lettuce, Carrots, Chinese Noodles

Won tons, Chicken, Bell Pepper (optional)

Mandarin Oranges, Almonds, Green Onions


Enjoy Your Munching,
