what's in that kids lunchbox.........six

after a week stuck in quarantine we are all glad to see the start of a "normal" week. The kids and Clint both dodged catching the nasty germ but we were all still very cabin feverish in the last day or two. Lucy is eager to see all of her school friends too.


So week 7, this kid has

• fruit juice
• homemade mini pizza's
• coconut bites (100g coconut, 100g panella, 1 egg white; combine and cook balls for approx 10mins in moderate oven)
• cucumber slices
• apple for shared fruit recess

My kids really like cold pizza so this works well for us. It's a great leftover lunch item. I class it in my "hot to cold leftovers" lunch category. You know - things that were hot but can be eaten cold. Other things in this category are quiche, chicken wings, sausages etc. We usually make our pizza's on pita's or Lebanese bread, but I especially bought English muffins with this in mind for Lucy's lunch box as they are the perfect size.

Week fives lunchbox wasn't complete smooth sailing. Lucy loved it, however it took too long to eat, so she was unable to finish in time to play. So we played around with the quantities and took out a snack. It was a good lesson for me to learn. Having enough time to play is important to a 5 year old!
