Sister Schuberts saves the day...

Ok...I admit it! My kids eat A LOT of sandwiches. They make for such an easy and simple lunch. It's a daily challenge to make a healthy and appealing lunch that kids will want to eat, isn't it? Now, my little guy doesn't mind sandwiches, and he is not too picky with them. But, regular white or wheat sandwich bread is definitely not his fave. He will eat these, but much prefers other breads. So, I often make him sandwiches on different types of bread. Some of his favorites are: King's Hawaiian dinner rolls, Sister Schubert's rolls, croissants, Oroweat flat sandwich rounds, bagels, English muffins, and pretzel bread. For today's lunch, I used a Sister Schubert's dinner roll to make Z a ham and cheese sandwich. These little rolls are the perfect size for a kid sandwich, and they are soooo good. If you have a kidlet that fusses over the regular white or wheat bread sammie, try using one of these other delicious breads for a sandwich. You very well may have sandwich-eating success!

New spring Yumbox...

Hi Friends. Wow!! Can you believe it....a lunch post!! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted a lunch. Busy does not even begin to describe my life right now. I know most of you are busy moms, so you completely understand. I wish I could say that it's my kids that are keeping my life so hectic, but it's other things. However, when our new Yumbox came in the mail, I just had to test drive it. At the beginning of this year, Yumbox announced new spring colors and an updated tray design. All of the new spring colors are sooooo pretty, but I chose the Ananas Yellow for the little guy. It's BE-U-TI-FUL!! I really am loving the new design of the tray. It has the same layout as the original Yumbox tray, but is more streamlined and has larger compartments, which means it will hold more food. If you've been thinking about the Yumbox for your kidlets, I say dive right in. Even if your kidlets are older, the Yumbox will suit their needs. The new tray design really does hold a lot of food.
