School Lunch Ideas – Part One

Today is Georgia’s first day of Grade One. Here in Central Alberta that means, it is also her very first day of ‘all day’ school. Today she’ll eat her very first bagged lunch. Her only option for the next several years. Our elementary schools do not have cafeterias. Therefore, it is necessary to pack a lunch or go home for lunch. When the older kids were this age they mostly came home for lunch, as it was just a couple blocks away. This isn’t the case for Georgia.

It’s What’s for Dinner in Mommyknowsville

Prep: 6 minutes / Total time: 22 minutes

Bistro Salad / Pizza

I think the beauty of this meal (besides the great taste), is the presentation. It looks good. In reality, you could just pop the pizza in the oven and serve up the salad on the side, but it’s better this way. It’s attractive! You could fool guests into thinking you’re somewhat sophisticated. Well I could! Then again, you should see my friends.
