At our elementary school, the teacher eats with her

kids, they get 20 minutes for lunch...

I work in the library and get lunch out of the library

if a volunteer covers me, if not, I get something and

eat in, hahaha....

I left a note for 's teacher, asking her if the school district provides

special meals for those students on restricted diets...an emphatic NO....she

said the only thing they can do is restrict his bread intake.....dumb

teacher, doesn't she know wheat is in so many other foods besides bread???

Sorry, I'm tired and worn out from all this.....

a, that's what I'm thinking at this very moment....I don't have the

school's cooperation in this, and I know will hate taking lunches, he

will have even MORE behavior prob's when he sees he can't eat what the kids

are eating.......I better go to bed, I'm pounding this in the ground.......

Good for you! Well, I'd do the same thing......if they see that eats

the wrong things and they have to put up with it, maybe they'll give him the

right things to eat! I wish I can say I'd pack a lunch for him, but he's

just now getting used to getting up and going through the line with his

tray.....if he were to be singled out with a sack lunch, he'd throw it at the

wall......I know, because I've tried sack lunches before, and he wouldn't

touch it, unless ALL the others kids were doing it, like when they go on

field trips, they ALL must pack lunches.

Hi & ,

Zeb is the same way with the school lunches. He just loves to stand in line

with the rest of the kids. If I ever refused to pick him up in this district

I would have the police at my door for neglect. They sent him home for a

runny nose once. One less kid one less problem. Your both fortune the school

with meet you halfway.

A friend's daughter has severe allergies and they need to take her

special food everywhere. When they go to a restaurant, they discretely give

it to the waiter/waitress and ask them to unwrap the food and serve it on a

regular restaurant plate. It took minimal work and kept their daughter happy

every time. Could you do this with 's lunches? It couldn't take more

than 10 seconds for the cafeteria staff to put his food on a lunch tray and

then could stand in line with his friends. He might not be fooled about

the different food, but maybe it would be enough to have him feel part of the

whole lunch scene. If he enjoys the carrying of the empty tray through the

line, maybe he could swap trays when he lunch is in the line-up, or just put

his empty tray under his tray with his food. Bev

> What do most of you pack for your kid's lunches?

Henry used to bring in a cheese sandwich, a baggie full of the snack of his

choice (pretzels, chips, Cheerios, cookies, etc.), and a juice box. That was

his favorite lunch then, and it remains so today. But now that he has access

to a real cafeteria (our public schools have no cafeterias, just food

delivered every day and the kids eat in the classrooms), he grabs pizza or

burgers and swears he's even had salads.

Now, *other* kids would bring in almost anything in Thermos type jars -

leftover soup or stews, even pieces of chicken. Some kids brought in nothing

but a few pieces of fruit and a baggie of cheese cubes. Some moms would pack

healthy salads and a plastic fork - these got tossed in the garbage and the

kids would buy food off the snack wagon to eat instead.

Most kids who didn't buy school lunch brought in what Henry did - a

sandwich, a snack, and either juice or milk to drink. This was in the days

*before* every school had a soda machine. Most fruit got tossed in the

garbage, especially cut up apple slices and bruised bananas. No kid wants to

eat any brown fruit. Grapes usually survived and got eaten, unless they were

used as projectile missles.

I saw a lot the year I worked as a volunteer teacher's aide.

> What do most of you pack for your kid's lunches?

I have to admit that this year I am starting out with some " bad "

foods in my oldest lunch just to keep her into wanting bag lunches.

Last year she started out with bag lunches, and then discovered the

hot lunch meals and there was no turning back.

With just my 7 yr old eating bagged lunch and not having to worry

about her weight as of yet I decided sugary rotten premade stuff will

be best in the beginning.

" normally " she would get a sandwich, chips/pretzles, a veggies

(carrots mostly or celery) and a fruit (apple sauce, orange, apple,

mixed fruit cup), then something like a pudding snack or dessert type

food. The problem was it was too much food for her. It eventually

got down to sandwich, fruit and snack sometimes cheese sticks.

I have a hard time paying $1.70 for lunches at the school when I know

what they serve most of the time isn't something she will be able to

finish and then end up throwing away. The problem with her taking a

lunch was she would start out opening the bag on the bus and food

would fall on the floor and roll around (bus driver NOT happy about

that) she would eat it in her first class of the day (3 hours

resource room/special ed) then take it to lunch with her and eat part

of it there and then in the afternoon kindergarten class she would

open up her lunch bag at snack time, and still what was left she

would eat on the bus comming home. Half of the time she would still

have half of her food left when she got home. She is such a slow

eater and would rather spend her time talking and just goofing

around. When I took them to McD's the other day she had a hamburger

happy meal and 4pc nugget. In over a half hour she had eaten most of

her fries and not touched anything else. It was time to go so she

basicall wasted a meal.

Anyhow..... I do ok with not eating most of the stuff that I buy for

her lunches because I know we can't afford to buy a ton of junk, but

it is cheaper then the $1.70 the school wants for a lunch.

The " junk " I have picked up so far is little debbei brownies, walmart

pink snowballs (eww too much sugar for me to even think about

trying), manderine orange slices in orange gel, individual bagged

pretzles. I am now trying to decide if I want to make her drink or

send milk money for her, or buy juice boxes which are never large

enough for my girls and I end up having to send more then one, or buy

the really big ones.

Anyhow... that I've written a book.... I better catch up on posts!

Hello

I am wondering if anyone has any idea's on making school lunches on this

program?

thanks

[Guest guest]

Ahhh, school lunches...the imagination it takes

My little guy is 3...he just wants bread like the other kids get....so I try to

feed him well and also not allow him to feel left out. It is ALWAYS someones

birthday...those darned cupcakes are everywhere! I have to whip something up

for tomorrow for Ben since it is someones birthday ...and they have to take

birthday cupcakes to a field trip! ahhhh!

I make buns (pancakes baked in my oven on a pizza stone from an scd recipe made

with leftover egg whites and avocado...I will dig it up somewhere here. You can

also make it with raw spaghetti squash, eggs, seasoning, and a couple of tbs of

coconut flour if you are far enough along....although we can't use it. Whip it

into a batter in the food processor. I think there are tons of batter's you can

try in Bee's recipe forum. I bake at 300 degrees f.

You can make the batter thick, and they brown just a little if you use a pizza

stone. Mine try to stick so I butter the stone with coconut oil and only remove

them when they are firm enough...or you will have broken pancake gooey mess.

Once they bake...they are remarkably sandwich " bun " like. I read that some use

parchment, but I don't find the need.

I use them to make sandwiches with home-made roast beef I have sliced very thin,

you could also make egg salad sandwiches, use them to spread the egg salad on

like a pita (depending on age), chicken salad sandwiches....they really look a

lot like a bun if you smooth them out on top. They won't rise, though, so you

see what you get (in other words, don't flatten them out).

I also make mini-burgers about the size of a chicken nugget. I do the same

thing with leftover chicken chopped in the processor and mixed with egg,

shredded veggies and fried up into little patties. Homemade mayo makes a

dipping sauce if they are old enough. He feels like his " nuggets " and

" sandwiches " look a little like the other kids food.

A lot has to do with presentation. He is 3, so I bought spiderman lunch

sandwich bags...since the other kids actually have characters on their " food " .

I also go out of my way to put stickers, funny napkins, and loopy straws in his

lunch box. Then he is the one with the cool lunch (if you are 3).

I found some home-made sugar free grass fed organic (more expensive than my car)

" hot dogs " in our coop, which I cook at home and slice for school. They are a

special treat.

Ooohhh, I also make the egg mixture in little mini- bundt pans and call them

donuts. I only sweeten with a little stevia, but he just likes the shape.

Ohhh...almost forgot. I have an ebelskiver pan (filled pancake) and you can

cook just about anything you want into a round shape and then either dip it,

inject it, roll it or just get creative with it. Now, it is not cast iron...it

is the LAST piece of unsafe cookware I own...so if anyone finds a safe one let

me know Here is an example of a similiar one:

Hi Anne,

Could you post the receipe for your buns in the recipe group? I would love to

try that one! When you put them in the oven do you separate them into individual

bun size portions? Is it basically egg whites and avocado and thats it?

Thanks!

Hey nosleep4mommy! I am another nosleep4mommy and was wondering if you could

post the bread recipe that you describe as being bun like for making sandwiches

and such. I am trying to find a batter that isn't too eggy. Thanks in advance!

Brittany

[Guest guest]

*** Brittany:

Bread (grains) is not allowed on Bee's program. You may know this and be

talking about making a " bread " substitute, so forgive me if I'm stating the

obvious.

Bee does have a recipe for spinach " bread " on her site that might be of use to

you. Plus many people use lettuce to wrap their sandwich fixings in.

All the best,

Marissa

Hi , I don't seperate them. Just like a tall pancake. I have a " muffin

top " pan on order now because they give the " proper " easy shape. I left the

recipe before I realized that I should post it somewhere else on the recipe

site. That was the original that I altered for our own use. It uses whites,

yolks, veggie of choice/cado, I add salt, stevia, a buttered pizza stone warmed

to 300 in the oven. I am sick and must get to bed. I promise promise promise

to dig up the real recipe, and not my " eyeballed " recipe and post something

tomorrow. My mom is coming to help out, so maybe I can get some rest.

Sorry for the MIA over the past week, it has been a zoo around here.

Hi Nosleep4mommy,

Thanks so much for this great idea (even if you did " steal " it) .

I haven't posted here much though I joined about a year ago, but I love Bee's

ideas and getting recipes from all of you.

I tried your bread this morning, and it is tasty! Silly me didn't lube the

parchment paper first (though I did butter the pan the parchment rested in )

so the bread kinda stuck, but I carved most of it off and made a nice tortilla.

I adapted the recipe a bit for my serving needs as follows:

two egg whites, beaten until stiff

one egg yolk, combined with 1/4 medium avocado

Folded and spread together to 1/4 inch thickness onto parchment paper in a pan,

baked at 300 degrees until the edges were crispy.

This made a perfect tortilla to stuff with stir-fried veggies and garlic.

Thanks for pointing that out Bee, I find great results from oiling my stone pan

with coconut oil. I do have a " natural " parchment, but I now that you mention it

I think it still uses silicone.
