Chicken Cucumber Sandwich Recipe
Being a mom to 3 school-aged kids who all have different tastes is more than a challenge when it comes to lunch time. At the beginning of the school year I’m an eager beaver, much like my kids are when they are all hyped up to start their new grade. I love to keep it fresh and new and have plenty of ideas to kick off the new school year with what my kids friends describe as “buffet lunches”. I take that as a compliment. Being that I not supermom but rather an everyday kind of mom just like you, by mid to late September my lunchbox ideas are starting to dwindle and my eager beaver status is reduced to more of a sloth like pace....

Smart and Simple Lunch
Who knew that in order to have a successful lunch menu for four kids, 5 days a week would be like signing up for the military? You must begin by interrogating the recruits to determine whether or not you are wasting time and money. Couple that with the allergic reactions that some children experience and you are in line for some serious battles.... Read More
Classic Barbeque Chicken Sandwich!
Two weeks into the new school year and lunches are starting to get a bit dull, already. How am I going to keep my kids happy making the same old lunches day after day. I try to create new sandwiches and test out some recipes on the kids. But they are not always too into it. I don’t blame them, it has not always turned out for the best.
