The Lunch Challenge...

I don't know about everyone else, but after talking to some of my girl friends, who are also Moms it seems that too often we end up eating what are kids are eating for lunch. Unfortunately, what the kids are eating isn't any better for them than for us: chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, quesadillas, mac n'cheese, anything fast food is also usually less than ideal right? I eat all this "junk" food and then wonder why I still haven't lost the baby weight...Even worse I'm feeding it to my darling kids who I always say I'd do anything for....So YOUR lunch challengeS (there is more than one for those feeling especially competitive or eager)

1. Go an entire week with out feeding your child a lunch with cheese as the "meat" of the meal (ie: quesadillas, grilled cheese, Mac N' Cheese from a box, instant is especially a no-no.)
2. Go a whole week with out any fast food, take-out, or frozen lunches....

These challenges are not too difficult I realize, the good ones I'm saving for later. In a week I'll post one of my favorite new go to lunches that is both tasty, but something that's also good for my waist line. If you discover or invent something fun, make sure to post it! I'll share with you some lunch alternatives next time. Good luck!
