0 Attempting to Pack Hot Lunch: Mac Cheese in Foil

October 12, 2012

Lunch:  NOT A GLAMOUR SHOT -- I know. Steaming hot Mac & Cheese packed in double layer of tinfoil. Paired with PB sandwich (no jelly*).  Why, you ask? The boy has complained that lunches are SOOOOOO cold (Thanks to Fit & Fresh Cool Coolers Ice Packs )  Can he have hot lunch?  While his school does offer a hot lunch program, I am lame, and have missed the sign up now, thrice.

Snack AM: Ham Rolls, Tortilla Rolls filled with Cream Cheese, Colby Jack slices.

Snack PM: PB Sandwich, Tomatoes, Cheese.

YumLunch? Hot Lunch?
Lunch all gone - Boy said it was warm.  Cheese in the Snacks not totally gone -- it gets kind of melty later in the day, despite chilling. Frozen cheese cubes have a better track record staying fresh and getting eaten.

*For the record, whenever I say I'm making PB sandwiches, there is never jelly.  I'm sure the boy would love jelly with his PB - but I personally dislike the taste of this traditional combo, so I simply refuse to add the J to PB. Also, as an avid fan of Dr. Lustig, and his video "Sugar: The Bitter Truth," combined with my child's hypoglycemic metabolization, I skip the sugar whenever possible. That being said, I am not consistent, and sometimes pair jelly with meat - such as Lingonberry jelly with cornbread and chicken bites.  I have not trouble getting my boy to eat straight PB.  Sometimes meat needs a little help. Bluff totally called.

Hot Mac Cheese all wrapped up.
