If you read this blog regularly, you know I am a big advocate of using leftovers for lunches. It just makes my life so much easier. The bonus is that everyone eats much better too! Today's post is about two different lunches I prepared for my boys.
For my son's Valentines Day lunch, I decided to go with the red theme. He would kill me if I got too lovey and put hearts in his lunch, so that left me with few options. lol In his Goodbyn we have the colour red; leftover spaghetti in tomato sauce, a strawberry yogurt tube, red jello, strawberries. We also have sliced cucumbers, goldfish crackers, green grapes, a cheese string and granola bar (under the yogurt tube).Now for the husband's lunch. He doesn't have a Goodbyn so we make do with containers. A tradition with us is for me to cook him his favourite meal on Valentines Day. So Indian Butter Chicken it was! I also pan fried up some red pepper and garlic parathas to go with his chicken and rice. I send the chicken and sauce separate from the rice so that the rice doesn't get mushy. The bonus to this dish is that it tastes even better the second day.
Do you have any special Valentines or special occasion recipes that you like to prepare? Share with us!! We would love to hear about fun new recipes that can double as lunches.
