You know, from now on I should just call these lunches. These kiddie lunches that I create, I eat the same thing. We eat lunch together just about every day, and our meals match. My portions are obviously bigger. But we’re pretty much lunch twins. Funny thing is half the time she wants mine and won’t eat hers because she thinks it tastes better.
This bean & cheese burrito is simple and delicious. I had to be careful not to douse mine in hot sauce because I knew she’d want to eat mine. Here’s how this burrito can be your’s, or your kids.

Finished product….
M devoured it. She insisted on eating this with a spoon. When she asked for a spoon I purposely brought her a fork thinking that’s what she meant to say.
But no, she insisted on a spoon. Whatever makes her happy 
I tried something new for M’s lunch yesterday… and she LOVED it! She’s a big fan of cheese and bread in general, but put it all together in a quesadilla and add her favorite fruit… she was sold!
I have to admit I was worried if she’d even like this. I don’t think she’s purposely had the sweet/savory combo before. (I have seen her accidentally dip apples in ketchup, and enjoy it)
I served her favorites on the side, cucumber slices & carrot chips along with some homemade ranch dip. I felt I had to give her favorites since I was trying something new on her.
To make the quesadilla, you wanna take half a whole wheat tortilla, place it on a skillet that’s been heated to med-low heat. On one half of the tortilla place some cheddar cheese, then top it with thinly sliced apples.
Fold the tortilla in half and cook for a few minutes on each side until the cheese gets nice and melty. Let it cool, then cut into smaller slices.
Not pictured is a small bowl of homemade applesauce she had for dessert. Another one of her favorites
p.s. I had an Apple Cheddar Quesadilla for lunch too. It was delicious
Sometimes all you want is a cookie for breakfast. An easy, no fuss cookie. This recipe is as easy they come. All you do is go buy your favorite oatmeal cookie mix and add a few extras. These cookies are moist, rich, and loaded with all sorts of stuff that goods for you.
Step 1: Start out with your favorite oatmeal cookie mix. I had never used nor seen this Sun Maid Oatmeal Raisin cookie mix, so I thought I’d give it a try.
Step 2: To your cookie mix, mix in one egg, 1 tablespoon canola oil, and 1/2 cup applesauce. Stir until everything is mixed through.
Step 3: To the batter, mix in 3 tablespoons ground flax seed.
Step 4: Now its time add in some fun stuff. Mix in 1 cup chopped nuts (whatever kind you like), 1 cup dried fruit (I used dried pineapple), and 1 cup shredded coconut. With a wooden spoon, stir until all the add ins are completely mixed through.
Step 5: Scoop the cookie batter onto your baking sheet. I used my ice cream scooper to make some nice size cookies. Bake your cookies at the temperature and time your cookie mix instructions say. I baked mine at 350 degrees for 14 minutes. They turned out perfect
Let them cool completely and enjoy.
