Hi everyone! Here is the new home of Life of a Foodie - Miss V's School Lunches. I have had many comments about how much food I pack in her lunches and why do I do that. Well Miss V is usually starving after school and we have anywhere from a 20 to 30 minute commute home. Also on certain days she has activities after school and by over packing her lunch she is sure to have plenty to snack on after school.

Lunch 8/29 and a lunch box failure....

Miss V's Lunch from today.

Ham, Spinach, Cheese on a Spinach Wrap


 Today she packed her wrap, red grapes, cheese crackers, Oreo Yo Crunch, Welch's Fruit Snacks, Raisin Chewy Granola Bar, packet of trail mix and an Orange Capri Sun.

 Lunch Box Failure.......
Every year we but the same kind of lunch box and since Pre-K we have never had an issue with the lunch boxes, besides getting grubby by the end of the school year.  Look what happened after 6 days of use.  I am really not happy.  I did submit a claim with the company.  Tomorrow she will have to use her beat up green lunch box from last year.

Miss V's lunch

This morning Miss V wanted to have a homemade "lunchable".

Club Crackers
Pepperoni
Sargento Colby Jack Cheese Cubes
Apple Slices
Green Grapes
Simply Gogurt
Chewy Granola Bar
Honey Teddy Grahams
Welch's Fruit Snacks

No she doesn't actually eat everything at lunch.   I over pack her lunch a bit so on the way home when she is starving she can have a snack.  She also brings a large water bottle to school to keep hyrdrated.

Oh and I found those cute clear containers on another blog.  They are from walmart and they have attached lids, so no more lost lids in the cabinet.
