Day 27 – Bento Days

Today's Menu:

  • Whole Wheat mini pancakes
  • Turkey Little Smokies or turkey bacon
  • 2 large scrambled egg
  • Orange wedges

What kid doesn’t love breakfast when its not breakfast time? I think even us grown up like to have breakfast for dinner and lunch. So in this menu, you can use either turkey little smokies sausages or turkey bacon. I like to use the little smokies sliced longways. They’re precooked so I just simply boil them in a bit of water on the stove, which plumps them up and also removes some of the fat from them. I make pancakes, and just use 2 tbsp of batter for each mini cake. I put a bit of sugar free syrup in the dip container. Add in a yogurt of your choice and an easy peel or already peeled orange and you’re off and running!

And don’t forget, pancakes are one of those things you can make ahead and freeze in little baggies to pull out just what you need when you need them. I simply thaw them overnight and then toast the next day on a low setting on the toaster, as we don’t have a microwave. But a microwave will work too, just make sure you don’t put them in too long, they’ll get rubbery.

Cost per lunch:  65¢
