Jackson’s Lunch:
- Egg Salad on Greens
- Tortilla Chips
- Prunes
- Mini Graham Crackers
- Bell Pepper Slices
Yes, I’m still here; I haven’t disappeared, though the lack of posts lately may have you thinking I was gone and was never returning. Rest assured, though, I’m still here and still packing lunch.
Our lives have been a little more hectic than usual. Adam was offered a new job in New Orleans last week, which we are all excited about. He accepted, and now we are about to move once again from Virginia Beach to the Big Easy (but hopefully this will be the last move for a long time). Long story short, he accepted the job last week and starts in two weeks.
What that has meant for us is a whole lot of trying to get things in order for a major move in a very short amount of time. For me, specifically, it has meant doing a lot of other things besides posting Jackson’s lunches. I have, however, made sure to continue packing his lunch since his healthy eating is a priority for me. What this upcoming move means for you, my reader, is that there likely won’t be many posts until we are settled and Jackson has been enrolled in a new preschool.
If you are interested in the Lunch Box Blog and want to know when a new post is added (eventually there will be more), I encourage you to sign up for e-mail notification. Just provide your e-mail address in the area provided in the Sidebar, and you will be sent an automated email whenever a new post is added.
Thank you for your patience during our transition. And please stay tuned! I will be back. In the meantime, here are some of the lunches I’ve recently sent with Jackson.
Leftover beef stew on the day after St. Patrick's Day with grapefruit, yogurt, and a salad of garbanzo beans, cucumber pieces and feta cheese.
A simple chicken and Swiss cheese sandwich with orange segments, chips, and green salad topped with sauteed mushrooms and peppers.
Noodles with a sauce I made from stock, tomato paste, a bunch of dried herbs, carrots, peas, fresh basil and garlic. Also, veggies and hummus, a cheese stick, a whole-grain roll with olive oil, and fruit gummies.
Homemade potstickers with edamame, blood orange segments, and yogurt.
