What’s In The Box?


Good News!  No big failures this week.  Everything went smoothly, the only hiccup was warm yoghurt.  It’s starting to get warmer here, and even though I placed  freezer blocks in their lunch boxes, The Vegemite Kid complained that his yoghurt was warm.  I guess it is time to start freezing their yoghurt again.  I take it out of the freezer the night before, keep it in the fridge until they leave for school the next day, and by lunch time it is soft enough for them to eat.  If your kids like frozen yoghurt during summer, just leave it in the freezer until you pack their boxes in the morning.

This week’s highlights were:

Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Fresh Orange Muffins

Strawberry Muffins

Butter Biscuits

Chocolate Muesli Bars

Mini Pizzas (recipe coming next week on Cheat’n Tuesday)

Premium Crackers with Vegemite

Cheese Sticks

Apples, Bananas and Oranges

Yoghurt (with frozen blueberries sprinkled on top for my Fruit Bats)

Please remember, my kids didn’t take all of this in their lunch boxes, they got to choose from these items, and these were the most popular.  Just thought I should highlight that point so you didn’t think all they ate were muffins and muesli bars.  Our school is pretty good at enforcing the sandwiches and fruit first policy.
