Re: Lunches for school

,

We use muffins, muffins, muffins. I cut them in half (so there's a top

and bottom), and make sandwiches. They freeze well so you can make a

big batch and take out just a few at a time. The Grain Free Gourmet

has lots of good recipes, as well as the BTVC and GAPS book. I also

make nutbutters and store them in the freezer (they go rancid quickly),

and put them on celery or muffins. I make the souffle bread--I use

Mercola's recipe and put in nuts instead of flax seeds. We also use a

thermos for hot things--today my daughter took meatballs in beef

broth. There are also chicken 'muffin'recipes on Pecanbread, which

they are not crazy about, but will eat. We round out the choices with

fruit and veggies. For a treat, they love nutty caramels.

Lunches are definitely harder than breaks where they are home.

Pecanbread has lots of recipes and lunch box ideas.

Hi,

School is starting up again for us next Monday, and I was wondering what

people have tried for lunches? What packs well, doesn't have to be kept

hot

or cold, and is easy to put together? I would really appreciate some

suggestions, not only for my own family but for some of my clients who

are

trying the GAPS diet.

Thanks very much!

Peace,

I think it might be necessary to invest in some good stainless steel

insulated canisters to pack stews and soups. I have some in several

sizes, most made by Thermos, that I am very pleased with and use most

every day. Then I send salad with some good homemade dressing and/or

fruit to go with the main course.

Good point . I agree. I do send fruit, but forgot to mention

that it is eaten as a snack mid-morning at school.
