We're huge fans of the "breakfast for dinner" concept around here. Seems that there is an over-abundance of yummy foods to choose from in the morning. So much so, that it deserves a second look at other meal times. I often dread noontime, because it brings about the oh-so-puzzling question, "What's for lunch?". Now, lunch time happens every day, so you would think that it's predictable arrival wouldn't have me so stumped, but it often does. Somehow my grocery and meal planning just doesn't include 7 perfectly balanced lunches. This is my solution to the most boring meal of the day!
Breakfast items are pretty easily packed into a lunch box, so you can send it along with your school age children. Instead of a ham sandwich and chips, how about bacon, pancakes and a little container of syrup? Tired of finding most of your child's lunch still in their box when they come home? Put that thermos to good use, filling it with scrambled eggs or smoked sausages and give your little ones a boost that will help them throughout their day.
Change things up for the kiddos at home. Serving meals in muffin tins, unusual cups or bowls, and seasonal plates makes them take a second look before pushing the plate away. Something about the change in serving ware gets my kids excited about what they're eating! Thinking outside the box can make a difference!
