  Another installment of What I pack my kid.
  
  Lunchtime. Woe is me.
  
  Spinach Tortellini. No sauce.
  
  Now in a perfect lunchbox these would be whole wheat. But if my kid is willing to bring something stuffed with spinach to school for lunch? I’ll take it.
  
  Sliced Red Pepper
  
  Amp up the vitamin C. Red peppers have more vitamin C than oranges. Not sure why oranges get all of the glory.
  
  Whole Grain Crackers and Raw Cashews
  
  Not much to say on this one other than that it is a heck of a lot better than Cheez-its.
  
  Apple Blueberry Fruit Leather
  
  A fruit serving, that’s not really a fruit, but not as bad as a fruit roll-up. A happy medium if you will….
  
  Dark Chocolate for dessert.
  
  Need I say more?

  Home stretch for lunches. Almost winter vacation. Hanging in there. You should too.
  
  Here is what I pack my kid.
  
  My kids like stuff like this way better than sandwiches.
  
  A closer look.
  
  This is just whole wheat linguine with butter and nutritional yeast. Easy. You could make this blindfolded.
  
  Cut cantaloupe satisfies my fruit requirement.
  
  Vitamin C, anyone? Don’t you just love these mini peppers they sell now? Cute.
  
  Homemade trail mix. Almonds, cranberries, raisins, and chocolate chips, of course.
  
  Vanilla milk. Love this stuff.

  What I pack my kid.
  
  Do you have a child that hates sandwiches? I have a child that one day likes them, then hates them.
  
  Likes, hates. Likes, hates…..
  
  Deep sigh.
  
  How can you not like sandwiches?
  
  Here is an easy lunch that makes my kid happy, requires zero effort on my part, and doesn’t come in the forbidden yellow package (yes I am talking to you, gross Lunchables).
  
  No sandwich necessary.
  
  A closer look.
  
  Mini whole wheat bagel with Laughing Cow cheese wedge. Having three kids, I’ve learned that kids like to “spread things”. This cheese wedge ought to work.
  
  Fig Bar. Pretty self-explanatory.
  
  Balancing the meal with fruit. Not slicing into wedges. Call the apple police.
  
  Cherry tomatoes. These may or may not come back home. I never know with these babies. Depends on the day.
  
  Chocolate squares. The sweet treat. Interesting how these never come home un-eaten.

  Here is the latest “What I pack my kid.” Again, nothing you would see on Pinterest, but here is my reality.
  
  Lunch in a snap.
  
  Let’s take a closer look.
  
  Remember my Whole Wheat Veggie Dog Dinner Muffins? Those are always easy to pack.
  
  I paired these dinner muffins with snap peas.
  
  Orange wedges. Simple.
  
  Yogurt tube. I keep these in the freezer and by the time they get to school they are perfect.
  
  A classic. Animal crackers.

  Lacking lunchtime inspiration? See below.
  
  Hardly innovative, but here is an example of what I pack my kid.
  
  What went to school one day.
  
  A closer look.
  
  DIY parfait. Sort of. No fancy glass here. Yes, those strawberries are frozen, but come lunchtime they will be perfect for mixing with greek yogurt and topping with granola.
  
  Whole wheat pretzels. Always looking for ways to get whole grains in….even if it’s in pretzel form.
  
  Celery and carrots. Can’t forget our vegetable. Non-negotiable.
  
  Easy, effortless Z bars for a little sweet snack.
  
  If only all 3 kids liked this kind of lunch….
