Hot Lunch Failures

Turkey crescent rolls and zucchini chips, carrot sticks and grapes. Sounds yummy right? WRONG, if you're under 10. So that in addition to yesterday's homemade macaroni fiasco (yes, I did use velveeta and no I did not have a recipe), I'm hurting for quick hot lunch ideas. Tomorrow, I may do Ramen, that'll probably be a hit but I'm not doing so well in the forecasting department.

Biscuit Pizza

I'm bringing Helen home for lunch to be sure she takes the time to eat and give her a little support since lunchtime supervision at the school is minimal and she's a little immature for her age. So far we are having a great time visiting and eating a good lunch. I'm trying to have lunch prepared for her so this time Walker was able to do lunch prep with me and the mini pizzas were a super hit with them both.

Lunchtime

Helen requested onigiri as her first school lunch. Poppy is an onigiri master but I was on my own since I'm the lunch-lady here. So I managed to cook up our sushi rice and using an awesome bento website, I found soboro recipe which is basically Japanese ground beef. I prepared these onigiri myself. While they are not the most beautiful things, they were super yummy. Even Carys, whose becoming quite picky, enjoyed these in her bento.
