I k now that this is healthy; but, the format gets boring for my 6 year old son who is entering first grade this year. Any suggestions how to make it more exciting? Hi,

My daughter has a hard time eating breakfast in the morning as everything upsets her stomach, so that is a challenge. But my biggest challenge is to find quick healthy meals for dinner.

I would love some ideas on homeade breakfast bars/energy bars that would be healthy and easy to grab on the go for 2 boys who can be picky eaters at times:) Something with a good amount of protein and healthy whole grains...thanks!

So, healthy, kid-friendly and fun meal ideas that I can enjoy too are most welcome. Thanks Holly and Tyler!!

We homeschool and we seem to get in the same breakfast and lunch rut after awhile. My 10 year old is allergic to nuts, so snacks get mundane too! Would love to have Tyler's thoughts on what he loves to eat! Maybe some ways to make things easier and self-serving in the morning. I am looking forward to all you two have to share with us!

Lorie and I try but end up getting stuck, we are limited as there is a no nuts policy at school due to allergens. Plus fun yummy after school snacks to keep the energy up for her swimming and karate.

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 22:10:47 +0000 http://getfitandyummy.com/blog/?p=491#comment-1731 Hello! So school will start for us on Monday for my 2nd grader and Tuesday for my preschooler. I will be interested in seeing if our schedule from morning, to getting to school, after school, homework and evening will actually go smoothly. One thing I have noticed is I may have about 30-45 minute pockets in my day from taking and picking up my girls at different times...one goes at 7:50am and the other at 9am and for the afternoon I pick up one at 2pm and the other at 3pm. Any suggestions on how to really use those minutes to make our week go by smoothly? Sometimes I will be at home and sometimes in the car. Thanks! Good luck with the new school year, Tyler! Hello!

I could always use new ideas for lunches. A fruit is no problem, either are beverages but the protein is a trick sometimes! Great idea! I could always use new ideas for lunches.

Taylor is allergic to, well, tons of foods. So, we always pack lunch and it is always something really healthy - but we are ready to hear some of your ideas. We have become expert at changing ingredients about to make certain that they are safe for Taylor but still are close to what his friends may be packing! Thanks a lot. We love you!

I was just trying to think of breakfast and lunch ideas yesterday. Every morning, my kids want to eat pancakes or cereal. We have ruled out pop tarts, and sugar cereal, but it is still not enough to give them the energy they need. Also, last year for lunch, my 7 year old ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day! I told her that is not going to happen in 2nd grade, but I am at a loss about what to pack in her lunch. Also, do you have any ideas for after school? A good snack, wind down time and homework? I love you guys! Thanks for your help! Alison Hi Holly and Tyler!
