With school back in session I already knew things were going to be getting busy and chaotic. But I forgot about soccer, choir, book exchanges and other back to school functions at each other girls' schools. With busy schedules (I'm sure other moms have even busier schedules), it becomes difficult to cook dinner or even pack lunches. At times like this I would just throw in the towel and opt for school lunches. But then once I remember the price (it usually doesn't take long for me to remember the price of lunch), I recollect myself and remind myself why I started this in the beginning.
Last night DJ had soccer practice and Cali had a book exchange at school. They had a special going on with a local pizza company called Manco & Manco where part proceeds goes back to the school. Their pizzas are always great too. It's always a fun event where the kids bring books that they would like to exchange and pick out new ones to read. There are also giveaways for the kids whose name is pulled out of a raffle, and it's a good way to meet some of the other parents.
It was difficult to wake up this morning. So since I took my sweet time getting out of bed I had to do a quick lunch for the girls. I decided to make wraps. Quick, easy, and healthy.
The wraps are held together with a kabob stick. It just makes it easier for the girls to eat, and it helps the kabobs from falling apart once they get to school. Even the hubby liked this idea. So in the wrap, we have provolone cheese, turkey breast, and lettuce. I didn't out any sauce in it because I didn't want it to get soggy. However next time I'd like to use the laughing cow cheese (I like the tomato basil one) instead of the provolone. I also packed watermelon and more tomatoes.
My girls can eat tomatoes every single day, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They eat them like grapes and actually like them more than grapes. So this lunch prep literally took me 10 minutes to make from start to finish. Tomorrow's lunch will be a special lunch. Stay tuned for that one 😊.

Cute Jen...so laughing cow cheese for the flavor? Just curious but novel idea instead of spread...
