Lunch Ideas for Homeschool Moms
As a homeschool mom, our days can be busy and overwhelming at times. A lot of us tend to fall into the lunch rut. We will eat the same things over and over. I have pretty much mastered dinner with almost exclusively using slow cooker recipes. I tend to use dump and go recipes that make my evenings easy.
As for lunch, the struggle is real. The number one thing I encourage as good lunch ideas for homeschool is leftovers. This is the easiest and most budget friendly option. This is what the toddlers and I tend to eat daily. However; my older boys tend to be the ones who want something different everyday. I figured I’d round up some good recipes to make lunch ideas for homeschool frugal and easy!
