Spouts Finds
Some of my Sprouts' finds today--I'm always on the lookout for healthy/healthier lunchbox add-ins and treats.
Dreaming Cow grass-fed yogurt, Van's gluten free and non-GMO baked crackers, Lundberg's organic and gf milk chocolate-"enrobed" (sounds fancy schmancy)-rice cakes, Suzie's thin rice cakes (my kids LOVE rice cakes), and Glee Gum's aspartame-free and non-GMO bubblegum. #healthysnacks #sprouts #schoollunchideas #glutenfree

Getting my Girls Involved in Making Lunches

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.

A snippet from Sunday Prep-Day: All gluten free and paleo, prepped and ready for the week! My super simple and healthy Sloppy Joe's (using grassfed ground meat from @farmtoforkfoods), easy egg muffins (using organic, cage free eggs), and Elana's Pantry paleo chocolate cupcakes.
