Who knew tortilla roll ups could add so much joy to life? I added a new component to lunch today and it was a complete success! Yay for cold cuts and grains! I have been challenged by protein and grains since disavowing sandwiches last month. (Ha, I am not really anti-sandwich.) Hummus and sunbutter are my stand-bys with occasional hard boiled eggs as a planned (because I can't just whip them up instantly!) back up. Cold cuts are so salt laden I try to avoid them most days and rarely have them in our fridge...but one slice of ham is not so significant to me.
I think the fact that these roll ups were sliced into fancy pinwheels gave them all the extra pizzazz my kids could tolerate. They were thrilled with this addition and will likely be looking forward to its return sooner rather than later!
Today's lunch
- Tortilla roll ups, sliced (corn soft shell tortilla, vegennaise, ham)
- Sliced cucumbers
- Crinkle cut organic carrots (my husband told me to try them this way...the kids devour them, I had been slicing them skinny and long with lackluster responses, the crinkle cut carrot is cute, clever, and cut-tastic!)
- Grape tomatoes
- Purple seedless organic grapes
- Seedless watermelon
(Kids have it so easy today with all these seedless fruits! Luke can never be told...he would love seeds in everything because he wants to grow every fruit and vegetable he consumes!)
