The Week in Bentos: October 7-10, 2008

Here are the lunches I sent to preschool this week:

Tuesday, I sent strawberries, a hot dog, catsup, bizarrely large and elongated grapes and cannellini beans. Wyatt used to eat beans all the time, but we just sort of got out of the habit of giving them to him and now it’s iffy on whether or not he’ll eat them. I’m trying to reintroduce them as a regular food though and you’ll be happy to know he ate about half of the beans I put in this lunch.

Wednesday’s lunch was one I wanted to eat myself. Mini blueberry muffin, grape tomatoes, fresh pineapple chunks, rolled up slices of deli turkey and chunk of harvarti cheese cut into a bear shape.

Thursday’s lunch was a little lighter than usual because it was cooking day at preschool. (It’s “B” week so they made biscuits with blackberry jam.) I sent salami, pineapple chunks and a hand full of Cheerios.

Friday Wyatt really wanted salami in his lunch, so I sent it again. I also sent strawberries, peas and grapes. Hopefully they’ll dillute some of the salt and fat in the spicy meat.
