5 weekday lunches (vegetarian) + Snacks

I have 3 children.... one in 1st grade, one in preschool that goes til 12:30pm, and a baby.
I don't know about you, but by the time we go to make lunches it's VERY late, and our braisn are fogged up and it just seems SO HARD.
I had some help from my friend Mimi (holla!) and I've decided this is the easiest way to get the lunches done.  SAME LUNCHES week to week!  So-- here's the 'final' chart.
The school is Kosher and the preschool is Kosher AND nut-free, so MWF lunches are Kosher AND nut free, Tue/Thur are Kosher.

Here's hoping for an easier year of lunch-making!
