We go through a lot of food these days. All three kiddos seem to be in a constant state of hunger. My biggest struggle anymore seems to be finding food to put in their lunches.
Bean just wants the basics, won't touch veggies, fruits or yogurt. That leaves me the sandwich (which he often won't eat), granola bars, fruit snacks and chips. We struggle to find food he will eat and not just leave in his bag or throw away.
Dizzy eats a sandwich, chips, yogurt, granola bar, fruit snacks and the occasional apple or orange. She's famished when she gets home and will eat her first dinner at 4:30 and the second one at 8:30 after practice. I also send a snack for her during practice, either trail mix or fruit.
Tater will not touch a sandwich, no matter how hungry she is, so we send raviolis, spaghettios or soup. She'll sometimes eat a gogurt if the wind is blowing the right way at the right time, she likes fruit, but not if it isn't cut up and not mushy or sour from putting lemon juice on it. Chips and sometimes a granola bar go down and depending if we buy the right brand of fruit snacks.
So, as you see, I'm stuck. They don't like hot lunch very often, so finding enough food for them challenges me every day.
I'm reaching out to you today to send some suggestions. Going with the 'they'll eat if they're hungry' motto is getting old.
Happy week!

check out 'bento boxes' and 'bento lunches'. there are some really cute, healthy ideas for lunches which should appeal to at least the youngest in the group. of course, my 23 year old will do a bento box in a heartbeat.
