First Week Lunches

I have no idea what I ate for lunch every day in elementary school. I’m pretty sure it was a sandwich, crackers, and a cookie, plus a carton of milk. Michaela’s school lunch menus are much more ambitious. Here’s a look at her first week’s lunches:

• Tuesday– Salami slices, crackers, string cheese, corn kernels, fruit salad (strawberries, kiwi, watermelon, nectarines)
• Wednesday– Cheese quesadilla on corn tortilla, pineapple chunks, grapes, corn kernels
• Thursday– Spicy grilled shrimp, lemon parsley rice, cucumber slices
• Friday– Spinach and cheese-filled ravioli, tomato slices, kiwi slices

We also send her with a snack eaten each morning at 10:15; this week snack has generally been a fruit (banana or watermelon chunks) and Veggie Straws.
