Caleb had hot lunch 99% of the time this year because as a single mom too I know what you mean by it’s just easier…LOL.
I did pack him a lunch a few times and he always came home with some of what I packed (fruit or the cheese stick). I’d rather have him waste school lunch than the stuff I sent him because I’d eat the fruit and cheese sticks instead of him wasting them.
Wow, what great sites! Thanks for sharing that. Although my kids aren’t there yet I’m really curious to see how the entire school lunch / menu / and money thing is going to pan out.
This post brought back so many memories of Monday mornings having to buy a long yellow ticket from the scary lunch-lady behind the menu. *shivers* And…I don’t remember any stinkin’ extras!!!
I’ll be adding your post to my Monday Morning Munchies next week. Keep your eyes open!
You are just a WAY COOL mom…going to school and having lunch with your daughter like that!! So, does she get extra money for next year’s lunches now?? LOL!!
My mom used to pack my lunch every day, and on Mondays she put money in the bag so I could buy milk each day. But, um, instead every day during junior high I threw away the lunch and used the milk money to buy a chocolate pudding pop. That’s it. For three years I had a chocolate pudding pop for lunch every day.
When I’m at my kids’ school and see how students waste their lunches, first I’m saddened by their habits, then I remember what I did!

My kids LOVE to have hot lunch, probably because I always pack their food instead.
So when they get the treat of a hot lunch they’re doing a dance out the door
