[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD just started first grade and has came home for the past few days saying that some snacks in her lunch bag weren't packed, for example fruit snacks and cookies. I'm 100% positive that I've packed them and I even have DH double check her bag before he leaves in the morning. Yesterday afternoon she came home again saying that her snacks were missing and all she had was her PB&J and crackers! I'm horrid! I talked to the principal this morning and she says, oh this has happened before, but I'll talk to her teacher. Has anyone else been in this situation before? What did you do?[/quote]

fruit snacks, cookies, PB&J, and crackers?

This sounds like a terribly sugar filled unhealthy lunch. I am surprised the school hasn't confiscated your DD's lunch and sent a letter to you.

Thanks for the laugh PP. Bon Appetit's suggestions are hysterical! Shrimp rolls! homemade sushi! So easy and fast! How about I make my kid a turkey and cheese sandwich, throw in a pouch of unsweetened apple sauce, a banana and call it a day. Have fun with your prepping your kid's pesto shrimp skewers. Bet those smell great after sitting around in the lunch box for a couple of hours...[/quote]

Here's a fabulous response to the Bon Appetit suggestions:

These are hilarious!!!!![/quote]

I thought the ham and cheese quesadillas looked good (even with the mustard), but the other comments were awesome.

And are we doomed to have that poster who's obsessed with how crappy peanut butter is on every post about lunches?  'Cause I get it, lady, you don't like peanut butter.  Given that nuts are a recommended source of healthy fat and protein, I don't really know what your beef is, but whatever, can you just post once on a thread and then stop?  [/quote]

peanut butter is not a problem per say, it's the combination of garbage above. Maybe instead of fruit snacks apple slices or orange, instead of crackers how about some cheese or carrot sticks etc... the entire lunch seems full of pre-processed carbs, sugar and bad fats.[/quote]
Your prescribed low-carb lunch will leave your kid hungry all day. Save it for yourself, not a growing child who needs energy.[/quote]

I wonder about this.

My child's lunch is 1/2 way between obese/process mom and hippy/freak mom.  Call me moderate mom.

But I do pick my kid up every day and she's hungry.  She gets a turkey sandwich (with provolone) on homemade bread.  An apple, cheese slices, a granola bar and fruit snacks.  What am I doing wrong?

She gets a snack at school. [/quote]
Ask her if she is really eating all of that food or if some of it winds up in the trash. It's actually a lot of food to eat at once. I used to put extra food in my kids' lunches because I thought it wasn't enough and they asked me to stop. My middle school boys get a ham and cheese sandwich, a bag of pretzels, and three Oreos (shut up). Yes, there is no fruit or veg because they tell me they toss it out when I include it. They don't get a snack but obviously they come home pretty hungry. My 3rd grader gets a ham and cheese sandwich and three Oreos. He asked me not to include anything else, however I do provide a snack for him to eat late morning - a bag of Goldfish crackers. He's not too hungry after school because of his very late lunchtime.[/quote]

There is nothing wrong w/ a few oreos the combination of items is the issue. Why not throw is some vege chips or something else. Your kids need fruits and vegetables
