Secret Weapons and New Treats

So my little guy has decided he loves the new lunch offered at school - yogurt, banana muffin, fruit and milk! Woot! Somehow the allure of purchasing the yogurt himself is much stronger than simply receiving a tube of the same said yogurt in his lunchbox. Whatever. I can deal with that.

In the meantime, on my quest to both improve his choices and not rely on the lunch served at cafeteria (hello, I don't think he should have a muffin EVERY day) I'm still going to battle it out.

I'm increasing my arsenal to include a cold pack in a very hip and happening design (hopefully they make Star Wars ones), adjusting "sinful" recipes to be more healthy, and doing some homemade baking on the weekends to try and anticipate what he will eat.

Yesterday was the first packed lunch so far - he had mango chunks, strawberries, the implacable Cheez-its, a smore made from square marshmallows and one of the chocolate-dipped graham wafers, and carrot sticks. He ate: 1 carrot stick, 1 marshmallow square, 1 bite of graham thin, no fruit, and the Cheez-Its. And you know how much I dislike jauntily-named foods.

Tomorrow is another packed lunch day - watch out. It's gonna get serious now.
