I get that. Sometimes there are things for another day. I hope you get a good nights rest

Awesome to read. Thank you. Also, your images aren’t loading for me.

Kielbasa and cheese sounds filling if they’ll eat it. It’s so difficult to get a good balance of fast/healthy/will get eaten/affordable.

At my kid’s school they do a “share table” so if other kids don’t eat an item from lunch, they can put it in the share table. There’s always apples, oranges, sometimes crackers. It’s relieving to know there’s something available for a snack if whatever I sent struck out.

My kid loves the fruit and veggies. The problem is by the time everyone gets seated they hardly have any time to eat. I’ll slice the orange or the apple to help speed things up. TBH it’s hard to get the balance right on foods that are fast to prep and will be eaten in the time alotted. But my kid always gets a fruit and usually a vegetable too.

We used to pack yogurt but it kept coming back. Idk whether it was a phase thing or it took too long to eat. Or the kid had the “wrong” brand and got teased. I don’t really get much info when I ask why yogurt fell out of favor. But I did get the inside info that school served trix flavored yogurt and it’s too sweet and it is gross. So I guess it’s good the kid didn’t get my sweet tooth.

Other than that the kid always wants plain deli meat on bread. Maybe with a slice of cheese. I’m not a big fan of the deli meat tbh. But it’s fast to prep l, the kid likes it, and it can be eaten in the alotted time so till we come up with a better agree, that’s the menu.
