All lunches include a piece of fruit, cut up veggies, bottle of water, granola bar and lollipop.

A lot of you ask about why and how we eat leftovers for lunch each day.  I make extra portions of dinner each night and I put them into reusable containers before I serve dinner each night.  Sometimes I make big salads and portion them into our reusable salad containers when what we are having for dinner either won’t make good leftovers or when we have guests for dinner.

 

Our Pledge:  This month, we will not be eating out.  We’ll be eating at home each night and taking lunches from home. With menu planning, this should be a lot easier.   Update: Last week we had Subway twice. We had coupons and honestly, sometimes, even with a menu plan, I have an exhausting day chasing the baby and I don't want to cook. So, we are re-committing and pressing forward!
