Dinner Time This Week:
Monday: Make your own pizza!
Tuesday: Lazy Evening Frozen Meals (got some great deals at Kroger a couple weeks ago)
Wednesday: Bean and Cheese Nacho's
Thursday: Baked Potato Skins - love these!
- Bake potato's (about 10 medium to small size) at 375 for an hour
- Hollow potato's out with a spoon- put the insides in another dish to save for mashed potato's
- Spray potato's skins with cooking spray (I use EVOO spray)
- Sprinkle the outside with salt, Sprinkle the inside with garlic salt, pepper and any other special seasonings you have . I add Cajun seasoning.
- Bake for 15ish minutes at 425 till crispy
- Remove and top with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits (I use Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Bits)
- Bake for a couple more minutes then enjoy!
- Eat with sour cream, ketchup or my absolute favorite ranch dressing!
Now I am understanding why I have high cholesterol...
Friday: Honestly I have no idea!! I was a poor planner this week. I chose complete comfort foods since my little baby boy is starting school. I figured I would wash away my sadness in yummy foods.

I bet Will's excited!
All Eli wants to take is a peanut butter sandwich, goldfish, a swiss cake roll and water. I'm going to eat with him on Friday and have him eat a school lunch to see how that goes!
Give me an update later!
My boys love to take fruit roll-ups, chocolate pudding cups, applesauce cups,granola bars, cheese and club crackers and of course the pb&j's.
My boys love "wraps". You take tortillas, spread with cream cheese and put a couple slices of turkey on it and roll it up.
Good luck today - we are going to kindergarten assessment this morning and there are a lot of tears :)
I usually send a gogurt with his lunch. I am also a fan of the goldfish, granola bars, ritz crackers (they have single serving size packs now), my son is not a huge fan of lunch meat so someimes to mix it up, instead of pb and J, I will send in a bagel with cream cheese, or cheese and crackers.
My son likes "pizza sticks." I thread cheese cubes and pepperoni slices onto toothpicks. During holidays last year I bought and saved plastic decorative ones, so next month he'll have leaf toothpicks, in October he'll have pumpkins, etc. If I can just get my hubby to quit throwing them away. ;0) Anyway, that's something my 6 year old really likes. He also like PB&J wraps, using tortilla shells. And of course, applesauce, pudding, cereal bars . . . all the goodies!
My girls like chicken nuggets. I cook them in my little toaster oven the morning of school and then wrap them in foil to keep them somewhat warm. I send ketchup packets (I guess I found the reason I save them!). A cool trick with GoGurt is to freeze it and then put it in the lunch box frozen; by lunch time it is thawed and yummy! I also send them "roll-ups". It is string cheese rolled up with ham or turkey. One thing I always do is pack the lunch the night before so I can have a somewhat calm morning. Thanks so much for your site. I refer to it often and love the tips and savings you have.
with the insulated lunch bags (plus a little foil)it's easy to keep things warm. you could do pizza or bagel bites (fielder loves these!), turkey, spinach and cheese roll-ups (pin-wheels), bean burrito, chicken nuggets, diced up fruit in yougurt to make a fruit salad, veggie straws (kids love them - i et them at costco but i think they're in most groceries....taste just like potato chips!, ants on a log (celery sticks with pb and raisins on top), quesadillas (sneak in some cooked diced vegggies inside)
My monkeys love to take hard-boiled eggs, gogurt, handi-snacks, deli-meat rolled and secured with a pretzel stick, string cheese, gold fish, fruit snacks, grapes, and even cuties (those tiny little oranges)!
