I have mentioned before about how I cook most of our dinners in the crockpot. But since we homeschoolers are home with our kiddos 24/7 we have 3 meals a day to cook! Since I HATE to cook this is a big deal for me. So here is what we do for simple and fun lunches...For the most part all our lunches are quick things. I don't want to get stuck back in the kitchen when I feel like I just left there after breakfast! We eat a lot of quesadillas, soup & sandwiches. With these I add a few slices of fruit, carrots and string cheese and VIOLA! Lunch!
One of my favorite gizmos for lunch though is my sandwich maker.
This is a butterfly sandwich! This got started by our 16 year old babysitter and now whenever I make sandwiches I HAVE to make butterfly sandwiches for the 2 little ones. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!
One of my favorite gizmos for lunch though is my sandwich maker.
I got this at Wal-Mart this Summer for under $10.00. It is great for me because I am not a big fan of cold sandwiches. This makes 2 hot melty sandwich in 3 minutes! Turkey and swiss on wheat bread is my favorite! You can also make Monte Cristo sandwiches in it. Which the kids LOVE! I make those a lot when we are having a late breakfast and I am trying convince them that we had breakfast and lunch at the same time! LOL But the BEST part of the sandwich maker is you can make muffins in 3 minutes!
Okay, they come out as weird little triangles, but they taste great! LOL I love that I can make muffins without turning on the oven. I make a lot of blueberry muffins and cornbread muffins. This comes in hand with the crockpot too. We can come home to a hot meal and have cornbread to go with it in 3 minutes! (You can make 4 at a time so multiply 3 minutes times however many you need for your family. I have all my recipes down to make 8 muffins because that is what we usually eat.)
So that is lunch at our house. If you have any great recipes, tips or suggestions to make lunch easier I would LOVE to hear them!
