Phew-colors are done! While it is nice to have an occasional theme for lunch, it puts a lot more pressure on me. I usually don't have a theme and instead go with what is in the fridge and pantry and just throw something together. These are the lunches that get sent the most frequently to school because I value my sleep and do not want to get up any earlier than necessary. Typically I put a lunch and snack together while Belli eats her breakfast.
Some quick tips to make your morning easier:
- Try and pre-plan your lunch the night before. (This is what I do in lieu of counting sheep)
- Prep melons ahead of time. I cube some to eat for breakfast, snack, etc and leave a few slices so that I can easily punch out a few shapes in the morning.
- Pre-wash and prep veggies. I leave a few whole, slice some and cut some in sticks-it is all about the variety. To make the carrot hearts I sliced a V in the top of the carrot and then made a V on the bottom, then slice them and voila a little carrot heart!
Hope that this makes it even easier to make yummy, FUN and healthy lunches!!!
