What's for Lunch?

                     This is what my kindergartner & first grader took for lunch today.

Kid's lunches...baked potato w/ salt, 2 small cheese skewers, orange slices, & roll ups (Trader Joe's handmade whole wheat tortilla, all natural roasted red pepper hummus, freshly shredded cheese, organic spinach, tomato, organic cucumber.

We began to make the switch to all natural, chemical free, vegetarian, nonGMO foods nearly 1 year ago, but I did it in baby steps.  It wasn't until recently that I began to tackle the kid's lunches.  They love the lunches that mommy sends, and frequently tell me how their lunch was the best looking one in the cafeteria.  Awe...shucks.  This mom just loves that!  :)  Not always pictured, but my kiddos take a bottle of filtered water in every lunch.

Here are some other recent school lunch photos...
