Bento Weekly Round 26

Still with Healthy Eats' Challenge, this week's goal is to cook daily. 

Since I do it for the most part of the week, it wouldn't be much of a work to do it daily for this goal.  After all, anything leftover would be packed neatly on the following day's lunchboxes.  Anything more would be good enough for my daughter and me.

Here's a week of cooking for my family that made it to the lunchboxes.

Healthy Oatmeal Choco-Raisin Cookies

A Quest for My Little Chef and Me

My daughter has shown interest on baking at the very early age of 5. Well, at least, earlier than I did. She puts into practice what she learns from school. So far, she has brought me good recipes for Sugar Cookie, Fruit Jellos, and Fruit Salad.

We have been baking for a year now and has produced quite a number of brownies, cakes and muffins from scratch. Not all made it to the blog because it needs a little bit more of a perfection.

Bento Weekly Round 25

Eating More Whole Grains

This entire week would be eating more whole grains

as per Healthy Eats' Healthy Every week Challenge.

I will be featuring different grains each day as I pack school lunches.

Whatever my son brings is basically what I pack for my hubby to work as well, 

and what my daughter and I eat at home before I send her to preschool.

Whole Wheat Monday: 

Whole wheat Spaghetti Noodles with Tomato, Basil, Rosemary & Garlic Sauce, 

Hotdogs on it, Strawberries, Carrots and Parmesan Cheese on the spice shaker.

Tuna Sandwich

Healthy Eats made it again! 

It's time for the Healthy Every Week Challenge once again.

If you haven't seen their article yet, and would love to join us for this round of healthy eating, read on and learn how to jump in and challenge yourselves to the next level.

Healthy Eats is right. Spring is a good time to reevaluate your 2012 health goals and get back on track if you’ve gone off course.

To help everyone get back on track and be fit for summer, HE have set up a get-healthy challenge for the month of May. This challenge will be similar to their January Challenge, with small, weekly goals that when practiced, can turn into lifetime healthy habits.

The May Healthy Every Week Challenge is a month of healthy eating, broken down into weekly goals:

Week 1: Eat Breakfast

Week 2: Eat More Whole Grains

Week3: Cook at Home

Week 4: Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

Week 5: Stay On Track

To participate, all you need to do is sign up for their weekly challenge newsletter. You’ll receive the newsletter each Sunday with an outline of that week’s goal, plus plenty of recipes and tips to help you achieve it. We’ll talk about the goals and share recipes and tips for achieving the goal right here on Healthy Eats and on Facebook and Twitter. Since many of our readers write about recipes, cooking and healthy eating tips on their own blogs, we’ve set up a board on Pinterest just for this challenge. When you share your blog posts to our Facebook wall, we’ll pin a selection to our Pinterest board each week.

Are you up for the challenge?
