Menu Plan Thursday

As our family gears up for school starting in another week, lunch menus have been on my mind. This is the first year that all 3 of my children will be in school, so I'm a little beside myself with planning. We've always homeschooled, and lunches were never really planned out... This will be an adjustment for me! I ran across this article on packing healthy and fun lunches and I think it will be a good starting point for me. For those more experienced mom (or dads) out there - if you have tips on healthy lunch ideas for kids, please, please share them with me in a comment!

BREAKFAST:
(Here's a handful of breakfasts we'll have this week.)

• Overnight Bagel Bake w/Honeydew Melon Chunks
  
• Cereal w/Organic Skim Milk & Sliced Bananas
• Muesli Parfaits - Great to make the night before for a quick and easy breakfast in the morning!
  
• Banana-Chocolate Chip Muffins w/Turkey Bacon
