Here are a bunch of simple recipes you can use for packing preschool lunch! Since Little Boy started going to preschool, we have had to send in his lunch (almuerzo<\/em>). This is more like a very large snack that they have around 11 a.m. To clarify, here’s a brief overview of when meal times fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meal Times in Mexico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast (desayuno<\/em>) is eaten before school at 7 or 8 a.m. Comida<\/em>, the main meal of the day is eaten at around 3 p.m. While dinner, cena<\/em>, is something light like tacos, and that’s eaten at about 8 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, back to lunch. Little Boy’s school sends us a monthly menu of suggested meals so that the children are all eating the same thing more or less. It seems that to go along with the suggested menu, many parents send highly-processed store bought foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my own son I have taken it as a challenge to try and stick with the menu while making the dishes from scratch. Here are some of the most successful healthy preschool lunch recipes I have made based on the first month’s menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
