everyday sack lunch ideas for the kids?

c_l_s_ak

My kids (ages 5 and 1) are starting daycare next week. I have to provide their lunches, which is fine, but I've been staying home with them for almot 2 years, and I usually feed them left overs, soup, grilled cheese, or something homemade for lunch. I don't know what to pack in their lunches for daycare... any ideas? I don't want them to get burnt out on eating a sandwhich everyday. The daycare will not heat their lunches for them, so I guess left overs are out of the question. I need ideas!! PB&J is out of the question because the daycare is a nut free facility. I need ideas, ideas, ideas!!! Thank you!

Answer
okay they could take your soup idea in a small thermos with a cup to pour it in on the top - it doesnt stay too hot - just warm
i usually hate takig sandwiches so i go for
cold pasta with pesto/sweetcorn
falafal in pitta bread with salad
you can get little lunch pots from tesco and m&s (uk) from your description i am guessing you are in the us
i am veggie so sometimes i take cold veggie sausages
they can vary their bread normal,pitta,baguette,bagel

also get fruit boxes and bags to pack assorted snacks in
juice cartons could work
sometimes as they are young on sundays you could bake bread and they could help a little be happy knowing they have made it - it tastes a lot nicer than shop bought although it is time consuming

The girl's turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.

The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs - including in-home day care centers - to meet USDA guidelines.

Answer
The government can kiss my ass if it thinks it will decide what my family eats.

how much would the following things cost from walmart?

kids lunch bags uk only image

JT

i'm from the uk and will be travelling to orlando this year and i was just wondering how much these things would cost to buy from walmart?

minute maid lemonade light (bottle or carton) do they sell it in bulk?
bottles of water
snacks (chips, candy, fruit etc)

also, how much money do you think i will need to take if i want to buy food and drink everyday, a few souvenirs and clothes etc?

thankyou.

Answer
minute maid drinks come in a box of 10 for $2.17 (they use to be $1.97) .. it is not sold in bulk but if you have access to a BJs or Sams Club, you can purchase them there in bulk ... honestly, the Walmart is cheap enough since you will go there anyway ...

Water bottles... for 16.9 oz bottles, 24 bottles to the case, you can pay anywhere from $3.48 to $3.99. It just depends on what brand you want.. there is store brand, Zephyrihills, Deer Park, Nestle Pure Life and more...

Snacks... range in price... candy, same thing .. from bags of items for $1.00 and up .. there are just too many to choose from... fruit, reasonable...

You can buy Disney souvenirs from the Walmart on Lake Buena Vista, just outside of Disney on the 535 Road but IDK if you are going to SeaWorld or Universal... I would say average about $1,000 (US) but that depends on your family size ... or your budget.. some people can come and spend more, some can spend less.... Either way, your money is worth more here for you, good thing for you... Buy at Walmart.. your breakfast and lunch stuff/snacks to take to the park and eat a nice hot dinner out.. think about $65 for a family dinner for 4 -5 ... kids meals are about $4.99 - 6.99 per person, adults... well, wide range for dinner but would average it at $14.99 for adult nice dinner, fast food is obviously cheaper...

When do large women (over) eat?

kids lunch bags uk only image

The Merovi

I've been on a date with some larger women. They tend to pick at their food and not consume much. I've seen huge women at work eating salads, cucumbers, cottage cheese in the lunch room. They don't become large or maintain a large size by eating salads, cottage cheese, or picking at their food. When do they eat?

If you think this is sexist, when I see large men eating in social environments or at the work lunch room, they eat hefty portions (and not salads). Thus, large food consumption leads to large men.

Answer
They probably eat in secret. Although my Mother is quite large and doesn't eat much. I should know because we hardly ever had food in the house and I was around her nearly all the time as a young kid. Unless she did something I didn't know about.

She enjoyed her beer, so that could have been it. But even before she began drinking a lot she was a UK size 16 (US 12) which isn't HUGE but it's not slim.

I think that she does genuinely have a crappy metabolic rate because I struggle to be as skinny as a lot of other girls and I have her genes, yet I eat around 1,500 cals a day roughly and I have to count it otherwise I do become overweight. I am a UK 10/12 (US 6/8) which is by all means not fat but most girls would be a bag of bones eating what I eat.

VEGANS -- milk and meat-- Should GOV'T look inside lunches we make?

Goin'

VEGANS may want limit food such as meat, cheese and milk.

Recently, a public school had kids open their homemade bag lunches.

The child was given chicken nuggets and milk.
There are reasons why - parents may not want their kids to eat such foods

President Obama put this peek into lunch bag program into his stimulus
Gov may have the right to design lunches for kids that are in lunch programs BUT
parents who make lunches for their kids should not have gov looking in and feeding our kids "other" things.

DO YOU AGREE?

..These big government programs are undermining our parenting decisions - do you agree?
I will not vote for Obama, he is allowing government to intrude by starting programs that mandate these types of actions.

.

Answer
If my government did this (I would first try all available democratic methods to stop it) it would be reason for me to emigrate to a country that's actually free.

By the way, quite apart from the right a parent has to choose a child's diet as long as the child is not deficient in anything: since when are chicken nuggets considered health food? What's next, taking away healthy sandwiches and replacing them with pizza and French fries?

PS I don't by the way see what is supposed to be wrong with the lunch this child brought anyway.
