School Lunches

Last year was eat at school, this year is eat at home. I usually swap out the days but here's the general gist of what I make. I try to balance by not too many sandwiches, as one of my kids hates bland bread, so I put bread in only 2 days/week and found 'other stuff' for the other 3 days. I plan for about an hour near the weekend, and then shop for specific items to make the meais.

Last year:
Monday: Kraft Mac&cheese/pasta or Ramen (separate noodles from soup)
Tuesday: Sandwich (egg/tuna/cheese)
Wednesday: Soup in thermos
Thursday: Sandwich Wrap (Banana,yogurt,raisin, or chicken fajita, etc.)
Friday: Rice (Rice balls, weiner, etc...)

This year at home:
Monday: Ramen (chashu , corn, seaweed, boiled egg)
Tuesday: Home made soup (Chicken veggie, Cauliflour chick pea, Borscht)
Wednesday: Kraft Mac&Cheese or Pasta
Thursday: Grilled hot sandiwch (Cheese, Tuna salad)
Friday: Rice Bowl (Chicken/egg, Mabo Tofu, Chinese topping)
