We're teaming up with fellow food bloggers to host a Brown-Bag Challenge, a month-long initiative to eat consciously and save money by packing a lunch each weekday instead of eating out. Join us here and share what you're eating on Facebook andTwitter with the hashtag #brownbag.
Hurray! It's the last day of Healthy Eats' brown-bag challenge. I must say I did fairly well and made everyone happy. I have fulfilled my goal and my kids are eating healthier. But it will never be the last day for my brown-bag chore. It actually just began. And I have pledged to myself that I will continue to pack and create healthy lunches for my family, and share ideas as well with other moms in need.

| Garlic Rice, Strawberries and Choco-fudge Muffin |
I stir-fried my hotdogs bits with garlic and oil. I made sure that the hotdogs are slightly browned before I add in the rest of my ingredients (cooked rice, corn kernels, and sweetpeas) over medium to high heat. You can actually add in carrots as well, edamame or broccoli, depending on what you have in stock. Then let it cool before packing so as not to create dew inside the container. I was told that dew is responsible for spoiled rice if you packed it still hot. Or you might want to throw in ice pack in the lunchboxes to be safe. I do all the time since he likes to eat his food cold anyways.
