Thank you for being concerned about my brother, he is having a hard time and wants to transfer. I am worried about him. I am planing to send him some food soon, have any good mailable recipes?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040838481245270528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-56423114810678269032006-08-30T11:41:00.000-05:002006-08-30T11:41:00.000-05:00Hi Dori,

My kid's school just banned all nuts products due to students with allergies - ouch!<br /><br />I now have to negoiate on the PTA hot lunches with my 6 year old.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416412232636141747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-1156946457169234182006-08-30T09:00:00.000-05:002006-08-30T09:00:00.000-05:00Oh you have a Kitchen Aid hand held blender.

I've always wanted one of those! <BR/><BR/>That's great that Matthew's school has some veg options but like you, I was surprised at the price for a PBJ sandwich, veggies, fruit, and a soymilk. $3.85? Wowza. Glad he now has some PBJ to bring made with good bread :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-1156939763527806612006-08-30T07:09:00.000-05:002006-08-30T07:09:00.000-05:00Debbie, I'd love to attempt to change the photos w...Debbie, I'd love to attempt to change the photos when I figure outhow to. :) I noticed you have that capability on your blog.

This is the first year my kids have had the need to eat away from home ... in our homeschool we used a meal plan I created. :)<BR/><BR/>Matt's school is more like a mini cafe with three lunch options and a few vegan friendly choices. Nothing "exotic" like tofu or seitan. PBJ is always an option, otherwise they had a cold cheese sandwich and other vegetarian options. <BR/><BR/>To get the gluten/ casein free diet it has to be on an IEP and doctor ordered, which we could do BUT all meat is gluten and casein free and that is what they serve a lot of :(<BR/>Matt only has slight issues with gluten (can eat two - thre times a week), but big ones with casein.<BR/><BR/>Kleo.

I love colour and i love non-chocolate cupcakes! Cute sign. Glad you splurged. She's definitely worth it, and so are you!<BR/><BR/>That's my fave Lightlife deli slice, the roast turkey. It's been so long since i've had "the real thing" that i have no clue if it tastes like turkey but i don't care either way 'cause i like the way it tastes. I love use a sweeter mustard with it on wheat Ezekiel bread with tomatoes. Pure bliss! Nice lunchbox grub.<BR/><BR/>Great to know Matthew's school is open to vegan food and offers options. One less thing to be concerned about. The price seems a bit steep, so i'm glad you can make them ahead of time for him. I would imagine having lunch at school with the school's food will be a once-in-awhile thing at those prices! Matthew is lucky to be at a school near his grandpa as well. Glad things work out like this, y'know?<BR/><BR/>That tomato soup (and what Dave's holding to dip in it, yummers!!!) looks splendid! Mexifrench es muy bueno, s'il vous plait, Dori.<BR/><BR/>Great post, lookin' good, mama!KleoPatrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15870163086087701279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-1156900256153383502006-08-29T20:10:00.000-05:002006-08-29T20:10:00.000-05:00Great lunchboxes... your kids are so lucky.
