Momables - a Mom Sanity Saver!

As many of you know I have a very small daycare in my home - I love kids but I also LOVE handing the kids back at bedtime! I do enjoy cooking but my interests can be different than the kids and I get so tired of "but I don't like that!" (I then usually hear mmmmmm and little snorts as they are stuffing their faces.) So I started cruizing the internet looking for some new ideas for lunch menus and ideas that I can tweak for snacks. I had 3 things that I was specifically looking for:

1) Menus! & Grocery Lists!

2) Food Kids actually WILL eat!

3) Nutritious & Easy to Make!

And then I found Momables!

(they have a Healthy Homemade Poptarts recipe too!)

MOMables is a school lunch meal planning service that helps parents feed their kids a variety of lunches they will love. Their one simple plan approach has built in substitutions for vegetarian, gluten free and nut free options when needed (it is not a dairy free or vegan plan).

. 

When I logged into the system for my first week of menus I found that Laura had prepared 5 lunch menus. Plus the menus for the last two weeks are listed to so if there is something the kids absolutely won't try... I have other options!

I'll be the first to admit that my kids probably won't eat everything but this will be a GREAT start to introducing the kids to new foods each week. If I start small they will come (right? right?). What I loved about the menus too is that she gives me all the menus, tips on how to prepare them, pictures of what the food will look like and a shopping list.

.
Last week I made the kids one of the lunches that was featured on her website to test on the kids. I called them "FUN Lunches" and made them up in a Easy Lunchbox for each kid. They LOVED it! and had fun exploring what I made them. I also downloaded the FREE sample week of Momables and tried Lunch 5 which is the Egg Salad with Turkey & Cheese Swords. Yeah.... they liked the swords (actually kabob sticks). Um Hmmm. Unfortunately the picture I took came out kinda blurry - but they loved them and thought they had to spear each others veggies and yeah.... I took the spears away. Aren't I mean?

I can't wait to try the Strawberry Shortcake Wafflewiches either! (another FREEbie!) read: how to pack lunch for picky eaters

.

I love the idea of an EASY Menu each week that's yummy, nutritious and Healthy!

 MOMables was started by Laura Fuentes, a mom of 3 kids under seven years old, to help other parents get out of the lunch packing rut. MOMables offers a weekly school lunch meal plan with 5 lunch ideas, a prep-ahead sheet and a shopping list to help us busy parents feed our kids good food they will actually eat for only $6 per month!

Laura has been kind enough to offer my readers a sample week of MOMables for FREE, when you sign up for their weekly newsletter. It’s also loaded with free recipes, tips and so much more.
