I guess I've been knocking myself out for nothing!

Tonight my dh and I decided we weren't hungry for dinner (could be related to the fact that I had 2 egg salad sandwiches for lunch today!), so I made the kids homemade lunchables for dinner. Not only did everybody clean their plates, but my 4 year old cannot stop talking about what I wonderful dinner I fixed for her tonight. I usually don't make anything that complicated anyway, but I'm starting to think all those "kid friendly" meals I've been fixing for them that are met with a lukewarm reception are not worth my time!

so what did you make? you know I'll do anything to get them to eat a decent meal.

I do that at least once a week- without the lunch meat. We have cut up apples or bananas, some cubed cheese, some crackers, a few raisins, and whatever else I might find and invariably, that's the meal he'll eat.

I do the same thing for lunch. I put the "nacks" in a tupperwear and off they go. They love it and think it is the coolest "treat".

Turkey, ritz crackers, yogurt, cheese, and pears.

That sounds soooo good! Homemade lunchables are my all time favorite snack.
Crackers - good!
Cheese - good!
Meat - good!

I serve them to DD and she pulls them apart and eats all of the pieces seperately!

This is pretty regular for us, but usually whole-wheat crackers (hey, I have to try somewhere!) and no turkey.
