The School Lunch Project

As a mom, I'm pretty interested in making sure my kids eat healthful, well-balanced meals.  So much so, that I never let them buy school lunch.  The thought of my kids eating low-grade hamburg cooked into various forms, tasteless, canned veggies, and fried chicken twice a week turned my stomach.  Ava and William were always really happy eating the foods I packed in their lunches, and seemed to prefer them over what the other kids were eating -- not to mention that they had an extra 10 minutes to eat if they were spared waiting in the cafeteria line.  But midway through the year they asked if they could buy school lunch sometimes, "maybe on pizza days and turkey dinner day," and I said yes. 
Can you can imagine how excited I was when I stumbled across the blog, "The School Lunch Project."  It's written by an anonymous schoolteacher from somewhere in the midwest who is eating, and blogging about, school lunch.  I know there are only a few weeks left in the school year, but I wanted to share her blog with you in case you hadn't heard about it.  You can find it here:  The School Lunch Project.
Happy Reading!
