One of my main concerns about Ryan and school is RECESS TIME. Other mother's worry about exam results and I worry about food. Talk about priorities ;p
After seeing him having to fight for the makcik canteen attention on the first week of school, I vowed to prepare Ryan's bekal for both sekolah agama and sekolah kebangsaan. So far I've managed to fulfill this self impose torture 95% of the time (haha).
I didn't bother with the elaborate Bento lunches because :-
1. It won't survive the journey from home- transit- school
2. My boy eats very little and I do not want to waste with 6 varieties of fruits and veges
3. I'm lazy :p
I will usually cook the night before and reheat the dishes in the morning
I love sandwich cutters. It will make an otherwise boring meal look super interesting :)
On the days when I'm busy or lazy, I will just throw in some ready made waffles, pound cakes or fruits into his lunch box . We still give Ryan pocket money, so the idea is for him to always have food in case he didn't get the chance to buy from the canteen
One thing that kept me going is Ryan's reaction, He always has something nice to say about the food that I packed for him, which makes the hassle worth it. Just imagine in 2 years I'll be preparing 3 sets of lunches *faint*
