This is the last school term before Master O officially starts “School”!!! I have a lifetime of preparing lunchboxes ahead of me, so I better start getting used to it. This week a little lunch box helper arrived in my inbox….
This is exactly what I need. A Plan. With instructions. And lists. An organisers dream!
So this week I am having a practice run of creating dinner meals, with lunchboxes in mind.
Sunday ~ Dinner ~ Roast Beef with Roast Vegetables and Steamed cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower. By buying a larger than normal roast I am hoping to have enough for Sandwiches on Monday and Tuesday.
Monday ~ Dinner ~ Lamb Chops with Potato Salad and Stuffed Mushrooms.
Lunch ~ Roast Beef Bread Roll with Fruit Chutney!
Tuesday ~ Dinner ~ Poached Chicken and Caesar Salad. For the kids Chicken Fried Rice.
This chicken will be used as a wrap filling for Wednesday and Thursday. Add some Grated Cheese, lettuce and pesto!
Lunch ~ Roast Beef Bread Roll with Fruit Chutney!
Wednesday ~ Dinner ~ Ham and Cheese Tortellini with Creamy Sauce.
Lunch ~ Chicken and pesto wraps
Thursday ~ Dinner ~ Sausages with Vegie Mash and Crunchy Parmesan Bread.
Lunch ~ Chicken and pesto wraps
The leftover sausage with be transformed into the Sausage and Couscous salad from the Vegie Smugglers Lunchbox Inspiration e-book.
Friday ~ Dinner ~ Beef Fajitas.
Lunch ~ Sausage and couscous salad.
Baking ~ I am going to make the meusli bars from the Vegie Smugglers Lunchbox Inspiration e-book! Wish me luck, I am not much of a baker but the cost savings of making your own meusli bars is great motivation!

I’d love to try the cheesy pots … I’m sure that’d encourage my kids to eat vegies and then I’d add meat on the side and then it’s all done!!!! Too easy!! =)

I don’t like you guys. I love you both! (corny, I know) There aren’t any Vegie Smuggler recipes I don’t like but my all time fave is the magic vegie pasta sauce. The kids love it & it’s great for freezing!

I like the look of the red lentil and pumpkin soup. Both my girls love pumpkin soup so it’d be a really easy dish to ‘smuggle’ the lentils into.
