Veggie Sneak Sandwich

by Misty
(Phoenix, AZ)

We Mom's know it's hard getting our kids to eat their veggie's, so to get mine to eat a little more (than SHE thinks!), whenever she has a deli meat and cheese sandwich for lunch, I add grated carrots in between the meat and cheese... more veggie's for her, less hassle for me to get her to eat them! It's a win-win!!

Lunch Sandwiches: A Special Kind

by Kristi
(Texas)

Every lunch I have, I eat honey wheat bread with butter under grape jelly. It is more delicious when you cut it into squares and eat it with a fork.

But for fruitarians or young children younger than me, 12 years old, I recommend they eat

1 yogurt
1 jelly or strawberry jam sandwich, 1 peach or any fruit (like apples, pears)
And 1 bottle of fruit punch...

...everyday.
