Day 14 - Brown Day

This week's theme for Kindergarten is colors.  Monday is brown day, so I made Love Bug an all brown/tan lunch.  It doesn't look very appetizing, but overall, it's a bit more sweet than she normally has.  I think she'll get some milk to wash down all the sugar.

Dairy: Chocolate Pudding

Protein: Peanut Butter with Homemade Chocolate Syrup drizzled on top

Grain: Wheat Thins Sticks

Fruits: Dates

Vegetables:  No veggies, but there are cashews under the cookies

Extra:  Newman's Own Chocolate Alphabet Cookies

Day 11

Dairy: Orange yogurt

Protein: Peanut Butter & Jelly

Grain: Crackers (for the peanut butter & jelly)

Fruits: Applesauce and Blueberries

Vegetables:  No veggies today!

Extra:  Chocolate Covered Fruit

Day 7

Day 7

Dairy: Cheese Stick

Protein: Slice of Ham, cut into smaller pieces

Grain: Tortilla Shell, cut into smaller pieces

Fruits: Grapes, Blueberries & Raisins

Vegetables:  Small Piece of Celery, with homemade peanut butter and raisins.

Extra: A Few M&M's

Notes:  

I have to admit, the veggies aren't going over well with my little Love Bug.  She's been in school 6 days now and only eaten one of her vegetables.  I decided that it would be healthier for her to have double the fruit and still add in 1 small veggie in this lunch.  I know she will eat the grapes and blueberries and I'm hopeful that she'll at least try the celery since there's peanut butter and raisins on it.
