So I share my posts on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I posted my Texas sandwich on Instagram and use the same hash tags that I've always used last year when I posted the girls' lunches. Well, I received a notification saying I won something.
This is what I was greeted with after. Of course I sent my info to @produceforkids to claim my prize. Don't ask me what it is, it's a surprise. But it's awesome to know that something that was started as a means to save money as well as have more control of what my children were eating has turned into something more. I showed my husband and of course he was extremely happy and proud of me. I don't do this to get prizes or win anything, that is just a surprise. I didn't even know that the site was doing any kind of competition. Usually I don't even enter competitions because I don't feel confident enough to since I don't do it in a competitive aspect. But it's nice to know my lunches are used as a means to inspire/motivate/or whatever.
Well kind of hard to top yesterday's lunch now lol. But today I went with a sushi roll sandwich. My girls love sushi. I would have made sushi if I had fish/crabmeat, cucumbers, or avocados. My girls have requested more sushi this year compared to last year. Until I get some meat to put in the sushi, I went with a teaser (I'm such a mean mom). One kid loves peanut butter and does not really like chocolate; the other loves chocolate and not peanut butter unless it has jelly.
I also added slices of apples and baby carrots to their lunch along with some cute little food picks. It's just a fun way to have a plain sandwich. Just because it's plain doesn't mean it can't be fun.
Until next time ,
