I could not imagine what the change in attitude was toward her lunch. Especially a lunch that contains meatloaf. She loves the turkey meatloaf muffins so much that she eats them for snacks when we have leftovers. So, I knew that it couldn't be that she just didn't like the food. I decided to question her about it after school.
Turns out that I've created a little lunch monster. She was disappointed that there were no "faces or flowers or anything pretty" in the lunch. Oh how quickly we spoil! So, I took it in the kitchen and gave it a makeover (and removed the pomegranate seeds cause she's "not that much a fan of them") and now she is perfectly happy with it! So my lesson learned - pretty lunch means happy chic!

I hate to laugh at you Michelle, but I am laughing at you.
you are in soooooo much trouble!
lol. Wonderful! Good makeover!
You're too funny!
That has been one of my biggest worries! That he'll get spoiled and used to the cutest lunches and turn up his nose at the more normal looking ones. I really don't want my kidlet eating schol lunches with any regularity (occasionally won't kill him ;)). They say our district "well exceeds federal requirements" but it seems like everything is made with white flours or is deep fried, or both. While they sometimes have a healthier choice available, what kid is going to take the "harvest special pumpkin lasagne" when they can have chicken nuggets or pizza?
Uh-oh... no slacking off for you, it seems :)
