How many of you are just PLUM tired of listening to your kids WINE about boring lunches? You hear the same old BALONEY everyday! "Not that again!" "Mrs. BOYARDEE makes Bobby great lunches." "I hate peanut butter and jelly." "Nobody ever trades lunches with me." Their griping gets so STALE, it puts one in a CRUSTY mood. It's enough to drive you to the SAUCE.  Whether you are the BREADWINNER, or a stay at home Mom, we all need KELP!

I have always told my kids when asked that ICE is my speciality....whenever there is a party, I bring the ice...My speciality is the perfect ice breaker...I can not tell anyone our secret family receipe, but Ive been known to add food color for special holidays...thats all I am going to say....and thats another story...

Why don't we comPEAR notes and benefit from the FRUITS OF OUR LABOR?  I YAM just BEET, trying to CRUMB up with unique, tasty, and nutritious lunches.  I do not RELISH THE THOUGHT of BUTTERING UP one more slice of bread. It just does not CUT THE MUSTARD anymore. It's NUTS! However, instead of FRITTERING our time away STEWING about this situation, let’s FONDUE something about it.  Wouldn't it be PEACHY if we used our creativity to CURRY a little favor with our kids and put some PUNCH in their lunch? And while we're at it, make dinner a winner?

KUMQUAT may, it would be so BERRY nice if all you TOMATOES reading this blog would be so nice to write down some of your favorite meals and leave it in the comment section.. I just love comments...Don't LOAF! Give this project more than 2% of your attention.  Don’t just SKIM this note.   LETTUCE us share your genius with the rest of us!  It will give all you COOKIES an opportunity to be a GOOD EGG and a HERO SANDWICH to your family. I will write a new blog with all your suggestions.

PUDDING THIS all together is REALLY not my CUP OF TEA, but ORANGE you glad I went OUT ON A LAMB and volunteered to do it?  Therefore, do not BROWN BAG this idea.  Take a little THYME to HASH out your ideas and add a little SPICE to the middle of the day for your little DEVILED EGGS. 

This may sound HALF-BAKED, but I cannot CONTAINER MYSELF. Do not take for POMEGRANATE that I will know what you STORE these various items in to keep the food fresh. You will have to tell me if I should use WAX  PAPER OR PLASTIC. We do not want to send our families to MAYO.  Saints PRESERVE me, but this sort of thing always FOILs me! SOY do not CLAM up. Don't put me in the DEEP FREEZE. Be specific. If you found throw away TUPPERWARE  where did you buy it?

HOT DOG, we could be on a ROLL here!  If any of you read my story, "HONK IF YOU ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD," you know that we spend all our time transporting kids to various activities. As such, we have lots of MEALS ON WHEELS. What are you giving your kids to eat as they go from one activity to another?  What do you keep it in while you are traveling there and back? 

KIWI also come up with a few more ideas for quick dinners when we are in a JAM, TRAFFIC or otherwise? You must include every detail from FRUITS TO NUTS.   I can see you now, your eyes are GLAZING over, and you are thinking, “This FRUIT must be a CROCK POT!”  Your life is like a PRESSURE COOKER and  I understand. CHEESE, we are all trying to KETCHUP. You TURKEYS only need to write one little comment...try to CHIP away at this a LENTAL every day and I promise that you will thank your LUCKY CHARMS that you moved your BUNS and gave this project some thought.  Actually, you CAN always be a HAM and send more than one, that would be GRATE, a little ICING ON THE CAKE!  If you want to be a WET NOODLE, only submit one.  But, I guarentee, you will feel CRUMBY,  BEAN the only one who did not participate in this endeavor. 

 If this A PEALS to you HONEY,  DEW write down your ideas ENDIVE into this!  I am  looking for interesting lunches and/or dinners as well as any snack tips.  PACK it on me....  POUR your CELERY HEARTS out to me, gals.  I promise you will get your just DESSERTS and credit for a fantastic, time-saving  inspirations! 

 Please tell me where to shop for hard-to-find items; how to prepare your specialty, what to store it in, and how to reheat.  Things might not PAN out if we can't buy it, wrap it, or reheat it.
