Ryan's lunch: Thermos of
Soy Boy ravioli verde; cinnamon raisin rolls; steamed asparagus; strawberries & kiwi (& a piece of orange).
AJ & Nate had the
same as Ryan, however
AJ does not care for
strawberries or kiwi, so
he has all oranges, and
Nate could eat a truck
full of strawberries, but
kiwi is hit or miss but I
gave him some anyhow.
I decided to try a food swap on
The Vegan Forum with someone from the UK. I hope it works! I tried to pick a variety of items for my swappee from local sources as well as other US-made favourites.
Here's what I'm sending...
-
Robert's American Gourmet veggie booty-
Old Bay seasoning (it's great for flavouring things other than seafood!)
- New York Style everything
bagel chips-
Wicked Natural Island Fruit & Corn Salsa
- Annie's berry patch
bunny fruit snacks-
Boston Cookies lemon poppyseed cookie
-
Liz Lovely cowboy cookies
-
Fantastic vegetarian chicken noodle soup bowl
-
Enjoy Life mini semi-sweet chocolate chips- 365 organic
cherry fruit strip-
Simply Organic french onion dip mix
-
Road's End Organics dairy-free shells & chreese
I chose things reminiscent of my past, items made in Massachusetts, Vermont & New York. And some of the kids' favourites, like Veggie Booty, Annie's fruit snacks, and plenty of cookies & chocolate (also my fave). I had to be careful not to choose many heavy items that would make the parcel weigh too much. I think it's a yummy dozen goodies that will hopefully make the journey across the Atlantic unscathed.
Ryan's lunch: Amy's rice & bean burrito; chocolate bunny grahams; strawberries; baby carrots; blanched spinach; cucumber slices; a pickle.
Husband's lunch: sesame tofu; cucumber slices; blanched spinach; pickles; a strawberry; watermelon slices; spring mix salad w/tomatoes & marinated mushrooms.
We received 2 of 3 food swap packages from the UK that I participated in over on The Vegan Forum. I TRIED to be patient for the third package, but that didn't last long! The boys were all dying to try some new vegan treats!
