K-Bento: Waffles and Bacons

My Kindergartner, Missy A is a number 1 breakfast eater at home. She eats anything served for breakfast anytime during the day.  That brought the wonderful idea of packing it for school lunches as well.  I always get a high success rate of a clean lunchbox and a happy tummy after school.

Due to my daily crazy schedules, I have lost track of the exact dates I sent in a particular meal. Everyday, I took pictures, upload them in a batch to my image web host, copy the link to blogger, and save just whenever I find time.  I didn't like the idea of a daily stress of coming up with a post anymore. Just because of the high demands of my kids.  I assist with homeworks after school, and re-teach what was learned in school.  Just to make sure they retain it well for chapter tests in the future.

So one school day, Missy A brought breakfast for school lunch.

Breakfast Sushi & More

What is the easiest and simplest lunch to pack on your menu?

Believe it or not, it's sushi rolls for us.  I can make hundreds of them without any fuss.

And the kids love them no matter what the filling are. They eat them hot or cold.

No questions asked.

I know that I've been blogging about planning and preparing ahead of time is still the best policy on lunch-packing.  They cut the preparation process in half the time.  Making your mornings stress-free and more relaxing.  To be honest with you, that is not quite true in my case. I brainstorm at night instead and do all the preps the following morning. The kids preferred them packed fresh everyday. It must taste better and fresher.

But I still plan ahead of time by planning our weekly menu, and shop for the ingredients on weekends. I want ingredients available when the need arises.

Summer Mealtime: His and Her Breakfast

What would be lovely to wake up with?

Perhaps a breakfast in bed. But not in our household. We don't tolerate meals outside the dining room, unless necessary.  Well we have a long list for that so I hope you know what I mean "unless necessary."  If I could keep foods on our banquet table, I'd have them there. I dislike ants and other bugs creeping around our house that's why.

But to keep my family healthy, I always provide nutritious breakfast for them to look forward to every morning. Individual request are always granted as long as they eat something nutritious with it.

Happy eating!!

This morning my daughter and I walked in at JJ Bakery for some pineapple buns and ham & cheese breads.  These are among my kids' favorite steals at JJ.  So I get it whenever I have the chance to pass-by.  It was amazing having breakfast with my 5 y.o. girl while waiting for her preschool afternoon session. The chats were non-stop, and they were filled with girly stuffs I used to do when I was younger.  It was nice to reminisce while munching on something you both enjoy.
