Back to School excitement fills the Sunday Supper air today! The promises of new friends, different teachers, new lunchboxes and math books (well maybe not math books) have the kid in us all a flutter!

back to school

What was your favorite thing about going back to school?

I loved getting new shoes! My Mom always bought my shoes a half size too big to last the whole school year. Sneakers were just for gym class!
“Crack and crinkle!” The sound of new books opening for the first time was also exciting to me. Of course new pencils, book covers (remember those?).

Did you pack lunch? Brown-bag-it or trendy lunchbox?

Grade school where I grew up was strictly pack from home. A nickel got you a carton of ice cold white milk. No chocolate milk for sale in that school!
If you had a lunchbox you probably carried a Thermos. Be careful not to drop your thermos! Those linings were made of glass back then.

Another great part of school was after school snacks of course! Fruit, celery and carrot sticks and an occasional Oreo or two.

Nowadays quick meals fit into the equation. After school football practice, band, chorus and more eat into precious dinner time.

The last thing busy families need is a struggle over kids eating dinner.

Children love brightly colored food. Turmeric Chicken and Couscous offers yellow crusted chicken over Parmesan couscous. Chickpeas add fun, tasty balls tossed around the plate. These beans provide extra protein for busy little bodies.

A bit of apple juice concentrate naturally sweetens the meal.
