So, she wants BIG girl lunches (like Daddy). At the moment, we are going through the vegetable slice routine for lunch.. She also has fruit and some cheese.. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6371 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:39:40 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6371 Shapes! I cut sandwiches, apple slices and anything else I can think of into fun shapes. The kids love that their lunches aren’t boring, and they tend to eat it all. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6370 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:29:52 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6370 I put a different type of sandwich in my three kids’ lunch sacks everyday. I invent bizarre combinations and my only request is that they at least take one bite (and I check). Sometimes my “inventions” are great hits (sweet potato, hummus, and avocado on wheat) and sometimes not so much (gherkins, sliced boiled egg, and Tofutti on chapati). I like to show them that food can be fun and they are always curious to see what mum has come up with this time ! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6369 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:28:15 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6369 PMy little one devours his frozen yoghurt first,
But he doesn’t eat the veggies- they must be cursed!
So I’m just a little bit sneaky I’ll admit to you,
I often wrap up a mini quiche or sushi it’s true!
With lots of ‘hidden’ veggies its the perfect snack,
And none of it in his lunchbox comes back.
If I put a few black and green olives in,
The most Brownie points I do win! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6368 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:22:46 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6368 I’m still at a stage where I’m experimenting with my toddler, one day he’ll like something and the next he doesn’t. One winner in our house is my home made muesli bars with oats, banana, a little bit of honey, pepitas and cranberrys baked in the oven. Goes down a treat. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6367 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 02:11:51 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6367 my kids love baby croissants with jam or ham and cheese filling, easy to eat and yummy ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6366 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 01:55:11 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6366 Variety each day! Some day may be a fruit overload, the next a treat with cheese and kabana. Sometimes I go with a theme like a colour or shapes ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6365 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 01:18:52 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6365 Always mixing it up. I bake my own cakes, so I add a few treats inside. Sandwiches are always colourful, as well as healthy. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6364 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:56:17 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6364 I make sure I STICK lots in…
carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber sticks!
Also I put in a dairy snack each day,
providing calcium and energy,
eaten quickly before he runs off to play! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/back-to-school-with-that-giveaway/#comment-6363 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:29:31 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=2724#comment-6363 A token, if they eat all their lunch that day I give them a token, if they get 4 tokens they get a lunch order on Friday with whatever they want. ]]>
