Pack it up, pack it in! Apparently today is National Pack Your Lunch Day, and since we are on Spring Break, I thought I'd share some of the recent lunches the girls and I made for their school day. #schoollunchideas #schoollunch #lunchcollage

Well, that was a surprise. While snow was predicted for today, even the local meteorologists thought the temps would be above freezing and everything would quickly melt. What started off as a relatively normal Friday of going to school quickly turned into ISDs asking all parents to pick their kiddos up before the roads turned bad, as temps stayed below freezing. The girlies got to play in--what is considered in our part of the country--"deep" snow and have the schoollunch the

While we were trying to keep busy indoors during yesterday's snow day, my girlies put together their lunch for today. Not too bad, eh? In our Easy Lunchboxes, from left to right, oldest to youngest daughter, mini non-GMO cucumbers, rapes, ‪egg muffins (made with organic, cage free eggs, onions sautéed in @kerrygoldusa butter, bacon, and broccoli), clementine, Tillamook cheese, and Elana's Pantry paleo chocolate cupcakes. I prepared the egg muffins and cupcakes on ‪Sunday Prep

I'm not sure if it's funny or geeky or just a little concerning that this delivery excites me... I purchased them HERE Here are some ideas and recipes that you can try for your kiddo's (or your) lunch box! #easylunchboxesbentoboxes #schoollunch #schoollunchideas

Just made these egg muffins with sautéed onions and broccoli and shredded raw cheese (plus salt and pepper) for kids' lunch tomorrow! SO easy!! These make for incredibly nutritious and super delicious additions to lunches and dinners, and as super snacks!! I love making them on my Sunday Prep-Day so that they are ready for the week ahead. Easy Egg Muffins * 1 tbsp Kerrygold grassfed butter or coconut oil * 1 cup chopped onion * 1 cup chopped broccoli (feel free to use other v

Here's my girls' salads for school tomorrow, pictured with and without the toppings (so you can see the veggies). Chopped red peppers, cucumbers, and asparagus, topped with organic, cage free hardboiled egg, shredded organic, raw milk cheese, and roasted pumpkin seeds. The dressing is Annie's Naturals Organic Cowgirl Ranch. And for a fun treat after: pirate's booty. #schoollunch #salad #kids #glutenfree #piratesbooty #eggs #rawmilkcheese #pumpkinseeds

The school year is about to begin, and that means homemade lunches for my girls! Here is an article I wrote last year for Strategy Magazine with ideas and pictures of school lunches. Check it out: 27 Simple and Healthy School Lunches for Kids. I also wanted to share with you a list I put together to help you put together your school (or work) lunches--hope you find it as useful as we do at our house! I like to involve my daughters by having them pick some of their top choices

I always prepare hardboiled eggs on Sundays so that I can have them at the ready for school lunches, a quick snack, deviled eggs, egg salads, or for slicing onto a chef salad. I find that prepping and organizing during the weekend sets me up for a less stressful week. What do you do to make your week easier? #eggs #snack #schoollunch #preppingfortheweek #hardboiledeggs

Egg Muffins I often make egg muffins on Sundays to serve for breakfast or to throw into lunches for a convenient, tasty, and healthy serving of protein. I always begin by sautéing onions in grass-fed butter as well as any other vegetables I have on hand. This time I added broccoli and spinach and continued sautéing. I added the mixture to 8 beaten organic eggs. To enhance the flavor, I used salt & pepper, parsley, and a dash of paprika. I divided the mixture into a greased mu
