Cheese Pizza

I baked Cheese Pizza this morning. It was so easy to do and it took me about 10 minutes. Ofcourse I used a ready pizza base and pizza sauce. To that I added a ton of cheese and baked. If this lunch does well, I’m sure to make it more often. Probably with wheat base and home-made sauce?

For the fruit part I added aamras (mango sauce) to the lunch.

So how did it do? Guess what my son said when he came back home? Mom did you pack mustard sauce? what??  He thought the mango sauce was mustard!! How innocent and cute! So of course the mango sauce went untouched and the pizza was eaten! Maybe I should I have told him what I packed. Anyway I think its 4 stars.

Egg Sandwich

The end of the school year is coming near and everyone seems to be in summer holiday mood already! Only 12 more days of school!

My son’s class has been having a lot of special days and fund raising lunches and I hardly need to pack lunches. Anyway today was one such day where I needed to pack lunch.

Since my son has not been taking lunches to school these days, he insisted on taking a sandwich. I wanted to make something other than Peanut butter jelly – so I decided on making an egg sandwich.

I beat up one egg with salt and pepper and cooked it. I toasted some bread and made the sandwich. To go with this I added some ketchup and some sun chips. I actually also added some yogurt (not pictured).

We’ll see how it does.

So how did it do? This one didn’t do well at all. The sun chips were gone and only one bite of the sandwich was taken. The whole sandwich came back. When I asked my son why he didn’t eat it, I got all sorts of excuses- I didn’t want egg, it was cold, I didn’t have time to finish it , etc. Anyway it might be a long time till I pack an egg sandwich again. 1 star.

Kadi Chawal

Today is another meal which is out of last night’s leftovers.

Yesterday I cooked kadi chawal for dinner. This is plain kadi, no vegetables, no pakora, no kofta in it. Just simple plain kadi which looks like dal, but tastes yummy. I warmed up kadi and chawal really well and packed it in the thermos.

I also added some fried chips. You know these are the chips that you get in the store and then come home and fry them? These are delish because these are from India!

I love this pic, because you can actually see the steam coming out of the thermos. We’ll see how well this does.

So how did it do? This one did very well. Almost everything was gone! 5 stars!

Chicken Nuggets

This is really a meal inspired by “Happy Meal”. I wanted my son to have a happy meal!!!

So here I baked some chicken nuggets. These are from Trader Joes, they are actually shaped like mini drum sticks and taste yummy too. I made some french fries in the morning. Sprinkled it with salt and pepper. To make the meal healthy I added some strawberries, and ofcourse there was some ketchup.

For the surprise element I added one sticker in his lunch bag!

So how did it do? Everything was gone, only some fries came back. Not bad I think. 4 stars!
