Kids School Lunch
Main Attraction
● Applegate organic lunch meat - serve with gluten/grain free crackers to make cracker sandwiches
● Last night’s leftovers - we like to make an extra batch of these meatballs from Danielle Walker (she has AWESOME recipes!)
● Hamburger patty
● Hard boiled eggs
● Organic cheese/goat cheese stick (wrap with meat slice!)
● Wrap served with Applegate lunch meat, hummus, or even vegan cream cheese with veggie shreds. We love Kite Hill! OR use the meat as the wrap!
● Soup - try this easy-to-make Minestrone by The Minimalist Baker or your family’s favorite recipe and freeze a few jars to have on hand.
● Bare chicken nuggets
● Breakfast sausage patties (make patties out of our favorite sausage from Butcher Box)
