"Muffins" are just code for cake, of course--particularly the Mexican panederia variety. She wanted chocolate milk, because it lasts better without refrigeration. I lobbied for plain, telling her she might get in trouble with the "food police." In the end, I let her get the chocolate because she will drink it at noon in its warmer state. I told her if anyone complained, tell them I sent it as a yogurt substitute.<BR/><BR/>Plain yogurt is a wonderful thing. I wonder if I could doctor it enough to appeal to my picky eater.SF Mom of Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054286576747874201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184312.post-1156986384831412552006-08-30T21:06:00.000-04:002006-08-30T21:06:00.000-04:00I like the plain yogurt idea.

And yes, sadly, many schools have a ban on peanuts (and some prohibit nuts of all kinds) because of the rampant nut allergies kids have today. Regarding the cheese, lettuce and tomato sandwich, didn't it get kind of soggy? Just wondering. Maybe it was on toast.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393966900434011827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184312.post-1156959445003463312006-08-30T13:37:00.000-04:002006-08-30T13:37:00.000-04:00I am still baffled...no child is allowed to bring ...I am still baffled...no child is allowed to bring pb&j to lunch? That was (and still may be) my favorite brown bag lunch. <BR/><BR/>What about plain yogurt with fresh fruit. I have discovered a love for plain yogurt with mango or banana. The trick is to have lots of fruit. My mom made that for me often for lunch. She also made me cheese sandwiches with tomato and lettuce. Those were very good too.<BR/><BR/>I have to say, I was at one school where many parents ordered lunch to be delivered to their children. (prepaid) So the deli guy, the salad shop, the pizza guy would all drop lunch off at the school. I thought it was totally ridiculous. Maybe I judged to harshly??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184312.post-1156285342978670852006-08-22T18:22:00.000-04:002006-08-22T18:22:00.000-04:00School starts on Monday and I am DREADING dealing ...School starts on Monday and I am DREADING dealing with my daughter's lunch. I can guarantee she won't eat most of the food on your list, particularly at room temp. But I am going for the thermos idea. What kind of mom couldn't think of a thermos on her own? me!<BR/><BR/>We also have the no PB rule. X was sad to be reminded because on vacation, she's been lugging around a jar of PB and J, striped. She loves the gross stuff.<BR/><BR/>MY sympathies. AND Thanks for the ideas! I will try, try again.<BR/>SFSF Mom of Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054286576747874201noreply@blogger.com
