Woohoo for a whole successful month of packing recess and lunch for my son! We move on to month two now, and I’m pleased to say that this early morning cooking task is easier to do and feels more natural now. I love it, I am making progress!
I found out from my son that some of his classmates pack hotdogs and spam with rice for lunch. One of his classmates even has McDonalds almost every day! I now feel so proud of myself for really making an effort to prepare freshly cooked healthy meals for my little boy each and every day. I’m also super proud of MrC for stepping in for me on days when I couldn’t be in the kitchen, like during Week 4 when I was sick. Teamwork and cooperation is key!
So, here’s what we prepared on Week 5.
MONDAY
Breakfast: Crumpy sandwich -(Crumpy is one of our fave sandwich spreads! Yum!)
Recess: Pomelo (Dad’s pasalubong straight from Davao.)
Lunch: Baked pork ribs (Leftover from dinner prepared by Lola.)
TUESDAY
Breakfast: Hotsilog (Hotdog, rice and egg! Always a fave at our house.)
Recess: Orange slices
Lunch: Chicken drumettes
WEDNESDAY
Breakfast: Pancakes
Recess: Banana
Lunch: Kiddie spaghetti
THURSDAY
Breakfast: Vienna sausage and sweet luncheon meat with rice
Recess: Pomelo again!
Lunch: Homemade longganisa bits (Marketman’s recipe) and scrambled eggs
FRIDAY
Breakfast: Pizza grilled cheese – a yummy twist on a classic fave
Recess: Banana again!
Lunch: Italian meatballs (the last from this batch) and cheese gravy (My mom’s signature sauce. Too yum to function!)
Okay, here’s how to prepare Lazy Pizza Grilled Cheese. Sorry for the blurry BlackBerry photos. I really should start using a better camera (which I happen to have, mind you!)
Yes, Pizza Grilled Cheese is really yummy, so you should try it!
Shameless plug before I end this post! My friends over at Manila Workshops and I have partnered with Nanay’s Lunches with Love for an amazing Bento Lunchbox Workshop. It’s gonna be on September 14, 2014, 1-4PM at Babyland, Shaw. If you guys wanna take your baon preps to a new, more creative level, then this one’s definitely for you! Register here!
See you all next week!
I like the Lazy Pizza Grilled Cheese! Bagay na bagay lang sa akin na hindi marunong magluto. 😀
Heehee! Yes, quick and easy sya! You can also do a Mexican version with salsa and shredded lettuce plus Monterey Jack cheese 😉
Everytime I see your weekly food post I feel so much excited for my future preschooler. I am also looking forward to prepare him bento meals for his lunch. I still have a lot of prepping to do and hopefully I would be able to attend the seminar.
Oh, I hope you do get to join the workshop so that I can finally meet you! 🙂 Let me know okay? 🙂
Patty! Now it convinced me to buy a ‘sandwich-griller”. Everything looks delish. Including the junky ones. I love, love, love tocino. 🙂
Go! Best investment ever, really. It makes breakfast and snack time a lot more fun! 😀
Panini! I also prepare that for hubby in the morning. He likes it so much with salami, white cheese and olives. Ahhh.. the things we do as a wife and nanay. Hihi.
Wow parang masarap yung version mo! I will try that next time. 🙂 What’s better, black or green olives? 🙂
None of my kids are going to school yet, but I’m thinking of preparing baon-like snacks and lunch for them — complete with the baunan. Hehe.
Haha cute idea yan, para masanay sila. At the same time, you can prepare in advance and pack them in foodkeepers para less stress later in the day. 😉
Grabe! You are so amazing! I think when Baby Z grows up, I’ll just outsource preparing her baon! haha 🙂 Tamad much? I just think hindi lang ako creative enough! I might learn from the Lunchboxes with Love Workshop 🙂
Haha! It’s never too late, Ginj! I only learned how to cook when Tristan learned how to eat. Before that I was burning everything from toast to eggs and even spaghetti sauce. I actually almost burned our kitchen down once kasi nag fireball ako while cooking squid balls! Long, not very smart story haha! 🙂
Yes, the workshop is gonna be an amazing learning experience for us all I’m sure!
