All the kids have headed back to school and the stores have been full of school supplies lately. Every year, I find myself checking out all the lunch boxes in the school aisles. When I was little, the most important part of going back to school for me was picking out my lunch box.
I remember having several character lunch boxes including Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, Smurfs, Gremlins, Fraggle Rock, Peanuts, and Shirt Tales (anybody remember those characters?).
So what kind of lunch box did you have when you were a kid? What was your favorite lunch to pack?

Thanks to I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!, Alexus and I had a chance to visit the local Farmers Market and create a healthy meal. They provided us with a gift card for groceries, a flip cam, and a media kit for our adventure. We decided to visit the Frisco Farmers Market, and we had tons of fun despite the Texas heat beating down on us.
During our visit to the Farmers Market we bought tomatoes, corn, bow tie pasta, Asiago sourdough bread, wheat bread, and organic chicken and sausage. I was surprised to see that the products available were not just limited to produce. After a trip to the store to pick up some seasonings, we were busy in the kitchen.
Alexus had a fun time shucking corn for the first time!
I coated the corn with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray and some Lawry’s salt! Then I wrapped it in foil and baked it in the oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutes.
After getting the corn in the oven, we chopped up some tomatoes, added them to the cooked pasta, and tossed it all with salad seasoning and fat free Italian dressing! Alexus fell in love with this pasta salad!
Then it was time to cook up the meat! We used my handy George Foreman grill for the chicken, and cooked the sausage in a skillet. We sprayed the tops of the chicken with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray and added some BBQ rub.
To complete the meal we topped off slices of the Asiago Sourdough bread with some butter! Thanks to I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! we created a delicious and healthy meal, and enjoyed a fun morning at the Farmers Market
