Lunch

Let's start with Lunch :)  A happy subject.  I really enjoy making lunches for my kiddos and my husband who is now working close to home.  It does take a while to get everything together in the evenings, but it's worth it to me.  My husband and I are re-reading The Five Love Languages (a MUST READ for every couple) and acts of service is definetly one of my love languages.  So making these healthy lunches for my family is "LOVE" for me.

Today's lunch was a little of this and that for everyone.  We are finishing off the week's supplies so it was a bit of a hodpodge.  usually Fridays are "Pack Your Own Lunch" days, but they had to do that Monday & Tuesday so I covered today :)  Two lunches looked like this one above.  Turkey & garlic herb hummus on a whloe grain flax seed wrap, half a pear, Sargento cheese stick, peanuts, pistacios, dried berries, chocolate covered raisins and a boiled egg.

All cheeses are not created equal.  Here are the nutrition facts on the Sargento Colby Jack Cheese

I have an update on the Foster Care situation, but I'm running out of time, so that will have to wait for another day.
