Dinner on the go

Okay, so THURSDAY (Jan. 10) was a busy evening.  The two younger kids had their regular therapy appointment and then we had to go straight from there to the middle school for all the pre-registration stuff for Ruthie's brother.  Problem?  When would we eat dinner?  What would we eat for dinner?

Solution - grab the containers and throw together something quick, healthy, and yummy!  Yep, my stash of containers comes in handy in times like this (and no last minute going out for baggies, not having lunch bags to put them in, or having needless trash)

First, dinner for the princess.... she'd had chicken salad for lunch, so I cut up some more cucumber and made her pb & strawberry jam sandwich bites.  I also included a banana.



For her brother and myself, I used our zip lock containers (seriously best clearance containers... they just hold SO FREAKIN MUCH... but not good for every day... they don't like to fit in a lot of lunchbags)

Jeffrey got peanut butter banana sushi/roll ups - he has asked for them since I showed them... and he declared them a big hit.  He also had carrots and cucumber slices.



I got a straight peanut butter & banana sandwich, carrots and cucumber, and ranch.

With it being winter and cold, we didn't even need ice packs... our water bottles and food stayed nice and cold... colder than when we put them in the car, in fact.
