Birds Eye Veggies = Great Snack & Lunches

Birds Eye Veggies = Great Snack & Lunches #CBias

Even though the kids have already gone back to school, that doesn’t mean that planning new and innovative ideas for lunch boxes and snack ideas has subsided.

The normal shopping trip for groceries happens during the week while the kids are at school simply because the “I want this…I want that” conversation doesn’t have to happen and I can easily stay within our family’s budget each week.

Both of my boys are easy to please these days and love their veggies so when I was trying to come up with a new lunch and snack idea for them to enjoy for lunch or an after-school snack, it makes my job so much easier…plus there aren’t many people in the store shopping!!

I used to be a “short order cook” until Cory was about 4 years old. He was my picky little eater and if we had veggies with any meal, he wouldn’t touch them with a ten-foot pole. That all changed one night when I decided that being a short-order cook was not for me anymore. In an effort to get him to like veggies, we had casserole after casserole for dinner and he gobbled them up with a gusto. Little did he know, there were tons of veggies in them. ;)

After a week or so, I changed our meals up to include sides of veggies and even though he was hesitant to try them alone, he finally gave in and learned that he really like them! Whew…my short order cook days were over!

Lunchtime at the beginning of the school year is crazy…the staff is trying their hardest to get back into the swing of things and that causes for lunch craziness. Because we know this is going to happen, we often brown bag it all week. Before classes began, I put my thinking cap on to come up with something fun, easy, and delicious for the kids to enjoy their lunch. It can’t always been about sandwiches and crackers with lunchmeat along with a side of fruit or veggies. That would get old really quickly.

With the help of Birds Eye Frozen Vegetables, I was able to think outside the box and the kids are loving all the options they have for lunch and snack time every day!

Enjoy!
