Hi all!
Today was a super busy day for me, but all I can think about is you guys! I received two very inspiring and motivating emails from our followers. It just makes me so happy to have the opportunity to share recipes and information with you all. I am so grateful that you are all open and willing to try new ideas. I also love that you understand that I am a mommy just like you trying to to the best that I can! I am just humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude…. THANK YOU ALL!
I got home from my long day just in time to get dinner ready for my sweet little family. My confession: We had had whole wheat pancakes! Yum. I have always been a big fan of breakfast for dinner, it feels somewhat rebellious and the kids thinks it awesome!
Now to the good stuff, another fun lunch box idea!
This lunch is a go-to for me and my kids. Something they love and I know they will eat. I understand that this is not a perfect meal, but I also understand that they have 2 or 3 other opportunities throughout the day to get nutrient dense foods.
-1/2 tofurkey sandwich on whole wheat bread. (hint: most breads from the store say “whole wheat” or “whole grain”, but they is not entirely true. ALWAYS read the ingredients or make your own see recipe here)
I use veganaise, mustard, and top with spinach or lettuce. Top with your normal turkey sandwich toppings.
-Veggies with hummus. We have a great hummus recipe here or costco carries a brand we like “Sabra”.
– The treat: almonds and carob chips! They love the carob chips, you could even do semi sweet chocolate chips as long as it says “vegan” or “dairy free”.
Thanks for constantly inspiring me to be better! You guys all ROCK!!
so much love,
~NEWBIE
