Avocado and Bean Salad
This is so easy, and so delicious.
Two cans of cannellini beans, drained & rinsed
2 avocadoes (or 1 large)
diced roma tomatoes (2 or 3)
diced green onions (1 or 2)
any italian herbs (basil, oregano, chives, etc)
salt & pepper
Toss these in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Optional: serve with Italian herb croutons on top.
For a southwest variation, I use one can of black beans, and one can of cannellini.

An Interesting Candy Bar

Bacon Exotic
Candy Bar - New Applewood smoked bacon + Alder smoked salt + deep milk
chocolate
Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked
bacon pieces. Surprise your mouth with the smoked salt and sweet milk chocolate
combination.
Bacon is awfully good with maple syrup, so this just might be very yummy...
Kid Lunches
We have to limit wheat at our house, so sandwiches every day aren't an option, unless dh makes spelt bread (a loaf of spelt bread is $4 at our grocery store -- not the cheapest option!)
The kids often eat fruit salad (combination of canned and fresh fruits) with pumpkin seeds and shredded cheese.
They also like hot dog soup (baked beans with diced nitrate-free hotdogs).
Occasionally they have oatmeal with apples and nuts.
Sliced deli meat and wheat free crackers are popular, but not the cheapest option since I refuse to buy the cheapest deli meats (I look for nitrate free meats).
Peas or corn with grated cheese and pumpkin seeds and butter is another common lunch here.
We've also done "Pretend Soup" (from the kids cookbook with the same name) which is a yogurt sauce poured over fruit.
