The favorite lunch you serve? The one that has all the kids clean their plates and never have any complaints?

Here it is homemade bbq beef, rolls, green beans and apples. Or meatloaf with the same fruit, veggie and roll.

ew meatloaf....haha sorry never been a fan.

MAC AND CHEESE! what else!
The kids had 3 bowls each yesterday I was shocked.

I do different versions of this, Mac noodles with Real cheddar cheese cubed and then melted on, OR cheese whiz melted on with milk to cream it up a bit, OR velveeta cheese melted on. All work. Yesterdays was velveeta, but I definitely prefer the real cheddar cheese.

In the US cheezwhiz and velveeta are not considered cheese, they contain less than 50% actual cheese and are not an allowable food source for the food program.

My kids favorite...

Scrambled eggs (cage free organic) with cheddar cheese and homemade tomato salsa, whole wheat toast, and fresh mixed fruit (seasonal) with a dollop of organic vanilla yogurt.

Mine love any type of the breakfast for lunch meals and homemade mini pizza's on english muffins. Alot of mine don't care much for mac 'n cheese because they are so over loaded on it at home.

I'm in Canada so : P lol, jk.

Lots of my parents do bring lunches for their kids and snacks. They prefer to for whatever reason, so it's mainly my kids. But when I make something for lunch, the daycare kids always get the choice to eat what I make or what their parents make. Often they choose my food! lol. And honestly, OFTEN my food is healthier than what the parents send.
