Thanks! Love the cutting idea of the sandwiches! Maybe then she'd eat the sandwich for me! LOL

What a great post!

Very thoughtful. I need to plan ahead too. I read today that keeping a food diary of your child's eating also helps determine nutritional gaps, etc.

Beth said...

love the menu -- esp. the shapes of the sandwiches -- what a great idea! do you use cookie cutters?

Will you be MY mom??

I wish M&J ate half of that stuff. Feeding them is a nightmare.
We mostly eat Trader Joe's cereal bars and cheese and yogurt.

its been awhile since i've stopped by, and i'm glad i caught this post. what a cool shot, i love that placemat/cloth you have under the lunch :) make it really pop.

I don't really plan lunch ahead as we usually make enough dinner for leftovers the next day. on the days we don't, i hit our old standbys of mac'n'cheese with smartdogs and fruit or pb&j with fruit. Today? I'm living out of the box with hummus, whole wheat pita, pears, and pomegranate juice. wahoo!

kylie is getting so so big. what a beautiful girl :)
