Feeding my kids lunch is not exactly my strong point as a mom! When we lived in Nixa I think I grabbed take out or went out for lunch almost everyday!... or at least tried to! Now that I am more focused on actually feeding my kids things that are good for them we almost always have lunch at home, but it is easy to get into a lunch rut!
The visual really helped me to see how I should be feeding my kiddos. And then I remembered this cute idea I saw awhile back... muffin tin lunches! These would make it really easy to make sure my kids are eating the right things and I think they might actually think it is fun!
How cute are those? Obviously, I don't think I will be that creative! But, I love the idea of filling half the cups with fruits and veggies, one with grains, one with proteins, and then there is still one left for dessert!... or I mean, more veggies! ;) I am hoping to try this soon so I will let you know how it works and if I like it!

Chris and I were talking about that article last week! I hadn't seen the muffin pans but that's cute!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing both of these earlier this year ... stuck in my head ... but then life happened and well ...
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about getting eating habits back on track and looking for kid friendly ideas, so thanks for posting this. If you don't mind I will link to you (to this post) when I get around to posting about healthy kid friendly eating.
Blessings & Peace!
