Well, the kids are back to school which means my house gets a little quieter.  (Only a little – the twins are still home with me.  :) )  It also means that I’m back to packing lunches, so I thought I’d start a new series called: “What’s For Lunch? Wednesdays”  Every Wednesday, I’ll share what the kids (and dad) had in their lunchboxes.  I find it’s hard to always come up with a fun and healthy lunch for the family, so it’s always good to have a few menus to refer back to.

So, here is what lunch looked like for week one:

(I really should invest in a better camera, so I could put some better pictures up here.  It looks a lot tastier in person!)

Lunch 8/29

quinoa pizza bites (recipe found here - I omitted the pepperoni) *

pizza sauce for dipping (made 12 jars of this from farmer’s market tomatoes! – recipe found in “Simply in Season”)

melon and grapes

blackberry apple muffin

* I doubled this recipe and froze half so I have enough for another lunch in the future.  It’s always nice to have supplies ready in the freezer for those busy mornings!

What are your favorite healthy lunchtime menus?
