Day 144 – Bagel and Fruit

It doesn’t get much easier than the classic PB&J, like in yesterday’s lunch. Except for maybe today’s lunch – Bagel and butter. We don’t use a lot of butter in this house…well, actually it’s Earth Balance Soy-Free Dairy-Free Buttery Spread…a whole tub will last us many months. We almost never have bagels either. However, when we do have bagels, M likes them simply with butter. And NOT toasted. At least this is a whole wheat bagel. Lots of healthy fruit and veg on the side and he will be one happy camper at lunch time!

Day 120 – Bagel, Strawberries & Peppers

Today, M’s getting a plain bagel with Earth Balance buttery spread and grape jelly. His sides are all about his favorite color – red!

Day 19 – Mini Cinnamon Raisin Bagel

I don’t have much to say about this one.  It’s basically PB&J in a different form.  Can’t go wrong with that, right?

I know many of you have already started your school year.  M doesn’t go back until next Wednesday, but here are a few pictures from his lunches last year to get you started.

Do you have little ones back to school already? What have they been enjoying for lunch so far??  I’d love to hear from you in the comments section!
