Great lunch ideas Kim! :) I’ll be sure to steal some – my son eats at school but its the same ish everyday so I need to change it up for him. Thanks for the resources! Happy Hump Day! -Iva
Glad it’s helpful Iva! Happy Wednesday!
Do you allow your kids to eat items “made in a facility” or “made on shared equipment?”
I try not to Hayley — especially for school lunches. However, she has had food marked that way before. But just because she eats it once without incident doesn’t mean it’s safe. Because the warning on those products is for the oops incident where a piece or residue was left on the equipment.
Thanks! I will be sure to double check any ingredients I see on your blog. What kind of bagels do you use?
My little guy is allergic to peanut, tree nut and sesame. We don’t eat anything “made in a facility” etc. because he’s had anaphylaxis from cross contamination alone :(
Poor little guy. I use the Thomas mini whole wheat bagels and the Thomas bagel thins. They are not marked with any nut notices. However, I’m not sure about sesame. One time I mistakenly posted a picture of my oldest’s lunch which included a granola bar. Funny thing is the quaker granola bars in canada are nut free, but in the us they’re labeled with the facility notice. I try to really be careful since I label the lunches nut free, but please let me know if you ever spot something or have a question. Label reading is pretty much habit for us, but there’s a chance I’ll mess up like with the granola bar that one time!
love these ideas! I always need fresh ideas for lunch! I feel like I get into a slump of packing the kids the same things. Checking this out from wow me wednesday!
