FISH DOG PHOTO

Earlier in the week my son forgot his lunch so he bought and wouldn't you know it, it was a fish dog again. Excuse me, I guess they are called 'sea dogs'. Here it is! A fish stick on a hot dog bun, salad, tater tots, applesauce, and milk. Thank goodness we are on break now!!!

See you soon!

R U KIDDING - school lunch

Soooo to add to the night last night I forgot to put my son's lunch into his backpack this morning so he ended up having to buy lunch today. I asked him what he had and .... wait for it.... a FISH DOG!

WHAT IS THAT?? you might ask. Well it is a fish stick in a hotdog bun. THEN he had chicken nuggets as a side. He did mention that he had alot of peas and carrots as well and that made me feel so much better .... NOT!

School lunch review 2.26

School lunch today is pizza, corn, an apple and chocolate milk. My son had a sleepover last night so I haven't been able to interview him yet on this lunch. I was with him when he made his choices and he also had the option of rice with his corn and he could have gotten diced peaches (i'm sure packed in syrup) instead of the apple. I also don't know what he ate and didn't so I will find that out too.

School lunch review

Doesn't this look terrible. This was my son's lunch, yes lunch, on Friday. We are off all week for mid-winter break so no lunches for a few more days. I haven't had a chance to have him rate this lunch but I will later today (the boys are at the movies with dad). In my opinion it is ridiculous.

School lunch review

Super Bowl Monday means buying for my son and packing leftover chili for me with no pictures :) This is chicken nuggets (I cringe as I type) potatoes with no skins, peaches, and chocolate milk.
My son's rating for todays lunch.
1. Taste = 4 1/2 stars (first lunch to not be 5)
2. Healthy - 3 stars he said that the potatoes and fruit were the only healthy 'things'
3. Food groups - Veggie = potato, Fruit = peaches, Grain = 'stuff on outside of chicken', Dairy = milk, and (It took him awhile to recognize that the chicken was the meat/bean group. Go figure he didn't notice that those little 'nuggets' were meat. :)

lunch 2.1.10

My son's lunch is a cheeseburger, mixed fruit, noodles, and chocolate milk. He was offered green beans but turned them down. His review today...
1. Tasted- "5 stars"
2. Healthy - "I don't know... 4 stars...because of the hamburger, they aren't that healthy."
3. Food groups -" Missing the vegetable but it has dairy, fruit, grain, and meat & beans family"


Lunch today for me is a leftover salad from a restaurant called The Poppy Seed. There is chicken, walnuts, cranberries, raisins, sesame seeds, walnuts, and mandarin oranges. It was a great salad. I also have pita bread and one of the last chocolate bouchons from my cookbook review.

School lunch from my sons perspective

Once a week I give in and let my son 'buy' his lunch at school. I also teach at the school he attends. I decided today to sneak down and take a pic of his school lunch. Pizza, a banana, green beans, chocolate milk, and an ice cream sandwich. I asked him what he finished and he said all of it but half of the banana.

I also wanted to give him a chance to evaluate the lunch 3 ways.

1. Did you like the lunch overall - "I give it 5 stars for taste." "I loved it."
2. Was it healthy? - "I give it 3 stars. The banana and green beans were healthy but the pizza and ice cream aren't"
3. How about the food groups - "The banana was the fruit, the vegetable was the green beans, the pizza was the grain and the oil, and the ice cream was the dairy so I give it 5 stars."
(I know he is missing some of the groups but I thought it was a pretty good answer. He is 6.)

I think that I am going to try to keep up with this each time he buys. Even though I have to give up part of my 22 min lunch to take the pic :)
