TPM Tidbit: Two More Kindergarten Lunches
August 15, 2012 in Paleo at School, Paleo at School, TPM Tidbits
I certainly won’t be taking photos of every lunch I pack for my kindergartener, but it just so happens that I’ve had time the last two mornings to grab the camera and snap a quick pic. And the lunches I pack are sure to become repetitive given that my daughter is very picky and has given me a fairly short list of lunch approved foods.
Yesterday, I packed cut up grass-fed hotdog, sliced black olives, carrot, celery and a whole apple. She ate most of it, leaving the celery.
This morning, I packed cut up grass-fed hotdog, sunflower seeds, carrot, steamed broccoli, half of an apple and fresh blueberries.
This seems to be a good amount of food for her and she isn’t famished when she gets home (although she is ready for a snack). So far, so good!
Thank you for posting these! My oldest just started kindergarten and we are starting a Paleo lifestyle, but I have no clue what to give him for lunch!
How do you keep your apples from yellowing? Good old fashioned lemon juice?
I don’t do anything. I cut them with a very sharp knife and put an ice pack in the lunchbox. They don’t brown very much.
Do you buy your grass fed hot dogs online or in a store? Do you cook the hot dog before putting it in her lunch?
My kids like both the Applegate farms grassed hotdogs, which are sold in my local Whole Foods and Fresh Market, and the hotdogs sold by US Wellness Meats http://www.grasslandbeef.com I buy both and alternate. My kids like them straight out of the package, so that’s how I give them to them.
