Always on the lookout for new ideas, though.

We go through this during the summer months when my daughters work cleaning old dorm buildings on campus. And now, no nuts at one of the schools. That does put a crimp in lunch-planning.<br /><br />A couple of suggestions for the nut-free student<br />-bean-spread sandwiches, black bean/salsa combo, or garbanzo beans pureed with marinara-type sauce.<br />here's the black bean one:<br />http://www.creativesavv.com/2012/12/easy-tex-mex-black-bean-sandwich-spread.html<br />here's the garbanzo one:<br />http://www.creativesavv.com/2012/08/our-frugal-lunchbox-sandwiches.html<br /><br />I often just use whatever beans I have on hand, usually pintos as they're fairly inexpensive, so I always keep them around<br /><br />Also, cold pizza, or pizza sandwiches, or, the usual egg salad<br /><br />Congratulations on your kids being accepted into the gifted program! That's awesome!

The older two were old enough to be tested for Gifted and Talented and both got in, which is great (we were homeschooling previously, hence the test since they weren't returning students), but now the 10 YO is bussed to a different school some days and that school is completely nut-free. Argh! I am just hoping this doesn't become a district policy in the near future.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396716408304381802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-22521271193119044192014-10-08T07:26:46.251-07:002014-10-08T07:26:46.251-07:00Hi Angie,

It sounds like a good plan to bake up some pumpkin bread in a double or triple batch -- your co-worker will be thrilled, and so will your family!<br /><br />For the mustard glazed carrots, I add some butter, brown sugar, pinch of salt and prepared mustard to the pan when the carrots are about cooked. It's something my mom used to do -- very simple, but makes the carrots interesting.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-39330751280120296032014-10-08T07:23:23.464-07:002014-10-08T07:23:23.464-07:00Hi Kris,

I too have found that I periodically need to change my game plan to try and keep my stress levels low.<br /><br />I love your autumnal menu...it all sounds so yummy! The mustard glazed carrots sound appealing to me. Are there other ingredients in the mustard glaze, or is it only mustard? <br /><br />At my house, we are still really enjoying the snack style lunches. This week we are all mix and matching from these choices:<br /><br />* Fresh apples<br />* Bananas<br />* Almonds or mixed nuts<br />* Yogurt<br />* Celery sticks<br />* Carrot sticks<br />* Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches<br />* Peanut butter and crackers<br />* Sliced cheddar cheese and crackers<br /><br />Your post today has me craving pumpkin bread or muffins. I think I will make some over the weekend. One of my co-workers had a baby girl and is coming back from maternity leave on Monday. Last year I brought in my pumpkin bread and she asked for the recipe stating it was her favorite. I think I will bake some to bring in to work to surprise her on Monday and double or triple the batch to have some at home for lunches too. Yummy...I can't wait!<br /><br />Have a good day!<br />AngieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-40770442352589849332014-10-08T05:34:40.139-07:002014-10-08T05:34:40.139-07:00Yes, I find I have to periodically look at my rout...Yes, I find I have to periodically look at my routines to see if there is a better way of doing things, as well. Life changes and we moms need to be flexible. :) Hope it goes well for you.Krisnoreply@blogger.com
