Halloween lunch idea

 

With Halloween nearing soon I decided to throw together a little Halloween inspired lunch for the kiddos. 

Here we have:

•Monster applesauce. The container actually contained 'boo goo' I washed it out and reused it. Inside is natural applesauce mixed with green food coloring.

•Piranha goldfish. I thought piranhas sounded scary since the kids think of a fish with scary looking teeth. 

•Pumpkin mandarin oranges. Just use a sharpie to draw on the face. I used no sugar added mandarin orange bowls.

•Witch hat quesadillas. These are just 2 flour tortillas with cheddar cheese in the middle. I cooked it in a skillet. Quick and easy.

•Halloween themed fruit roll ups. These are actually trick or treater sized.

•Capri sun

The kids enjoyed their lunch and was excited to share the idea with their friends at school. 

Kid lunch idea

Broox is the child who is not a fan of bread but loves his meat and cheese so for his lunch instead of sandwiches he likes meat and cheese roll ups. For this I use 1 piece of turkey, 1 piece of ham, and slices of cheddar cheese. I open up the meat place cheese on it and roll it up very simple. For this lunch we used...

•simple truth ham

•simple truth turkey

•sliced cheddar cheese

•ritz crackers

•sugar free gummies

•fresh watermelon pieces

•all natural squeezable buddy fruits

•Capri sun

Kid lunch idea

We tried out a new lunch idea today! Broox loved it and said he got full.

•turkey pepperonis 

•lite mozzarella string cheese

•sugar free gummies 

•strawberries

•blueberries

•small serving of cheezits 

•danimals yogurt

•Capri sun

I used cupcake liners to separate the fruit and cheezits.

Healthy Lunches

As you know I'm trying to come up with some new healthy meals so I thought why not get creative with the kids lunches and make them neat and packed with foods they like yet also healthy. I have one child whom is a picky eater and one whom is a big eater he loves to eat. 

The first lunch is 

Grapes

1 boiled egg cut in half without the yolk

Natural applesauce

Ritz crackers 

Veggie/fruit Capri sun

Jelly rolls on whole wheat bread

The second lunch is

Grapes

1 boiled egg cut in half without the yolk

Natural applesauce

Ritz Crackers

1 can of Tuna in water with a little lite mayonnaise

Jelly rolls on whole wheat (smaller portion since he has tuna)

Veggie/fruit Capri sun 

•to make the jelly roll I cut the crust off of the bread, lay the bread on a paper towel, take a glass cup or a rolling pin and flatten the bread, spread on jelly/peanut butter/almond butter/Nutella whatever you prefer and then roll up the bread, slice the big roll. 1 slice of bread will make 4-5 smaller rolls.

These were a big hit with my kids they loved the entire meal. Although, you may want to warn your kid(s) that the boiled eggs will smell awful during lunch time! My oldest was embarrassed and didn't eat his eggs until he got home, haha! 

Enjoy!
