Out of House and Home

My girls are eating us out of house and home. Seriously.

I packed what I believed to be a nutritious lunch for Thing 1 to take to school yesterday. Her lunch bag returned, sans all food except for the main course . . . macaroni & cheese. Evidently I don't "make" it correctly. Seriously people, how can a person mess up Easy Mac??

Today was slightly better . . . spaghetti. Plain with butter. Boring. But she ate it. Progress.

I'm curious as to what other moms and dads might be packing for the kiddos to take for lunch. I'm in serious need of ideas and it's only week #2. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

On the topic of lunch ideas, I have to send a shout-out to the great folks at My Blog Spark! They sent me a brand new product to try out and I have to give a thumbs-up to this one . . . brand new Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters. They come in 4 flavors: Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut. I've decided that Roasted Almond is my personal favorite. Don't take my word for it. Check them out for yourself. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I even got the kids to try them. I didn't even have to bribe them. In fact, they just might be taking a trip to school inside someone's lunch bag tomorrow.

Easy Mac WON'T be on the menu though. I guarantee it!

Unless someone else makes it. Any volunteers??

How can you mess up Easy Mac? It tastes a bit different than the regular mac and cheese, so maybe she thought she had the other stuff.
