[quote=Anonymous]These are my meal hacks.

I have menus for dinner from M-F.   Kids and DH choose together what they want to eat for dinner. Lunch is usually leftovers.  Weekends is takeouts for dinner.

I have an extensive lunchbox menus  too.   Kids pick together what they want and that is what will get packed.  All selections for the next week happens on the Friday before. I use the weekends to get the groceries.  I basically follow a formula of what gets packed.

M-M - breakfast is very simple fare that DH makes - toast/bagels, cream-cheese, jam, stuffed omelets/boiled eggs/scrambled eggs, sometimes sausages, cereal of choice or oatmeal, breakfast cookies, chocolate milk/juice/tea and bananas/clementine or apples.  We eat the same thing almost every day.

I serve veggis and fruits  as  first course for lunch and dinner.  Meat, carbs, sauces, cheese,  savory dishes are served as second course.  Dessert is third course.  There is no restriction of what my kids eat. No weight problems etc. They just need to eat their veggies and fruits before eating anything else.

No soda, chips or cookies because kids don't like it.  Stangely enough they like appetizer kind of foods for snacking - mini quiches, tacos, baked potatoes etc. [/quote]
