The joys of feeding a teenage boy!
How much food will it take for him not to come home starving to death by 3:30 pm? That is the question of most days. I have taken to trying to up the amount of protein, plus sending lots of extra snacks that aren't perishable.
In this lunch, I packed three taco muffins for him. (Recipe for taco muffins is in this post.) They have access to a microwave at school and he was able to heat them up for himself. Even though they have quite a bit of both taco meat and cheese in them, I added two boiled eggs to make sure we had enough protein.
To the right, I opted for apple slices and some cheddar grooved crackers. Not shown, I always send yogurt, a cheese stick, plus some other snacks like cookies that can hold up all day long. Lunch is packed in a Goodbyn Hero box.
