I had a “duh” moment the other day. You know when you realize something is as easy as pie and you don’t have a clue as to why you have never thought of it before? I had this duh moment the other day when I saw this post over at Your Modern Family about preparing all the lunches for your family only ONCE A WEEK. It’s basically all about how to prepare school lunches only once a week by making a bunch of lunch sandwiches or wraps ahead of time at the beginning of the week. Then you freeze them and the kids just grab and go as they pack their lunches. Easy make-ahead freezer lunches. Brilliantly easy, right? Duh. Duh. Duh.
Now this is particularly a really DUH moment for me because I am the same person who wrote some posts in past years about this very thing. Remember How to Make Easy Freezer Pancakes? And DIY Frozen Breakfast Burritos? These two posts have gone crazy on Pinterest and yet, I never thought to expand my own idea to lunch. And, I even hate packing lunches for my kidlets! But I do it anyway (with them helping me) because it saves so much money, and it’s healthier, and sometimes school lunch is questionable, and blah blah blah you know this stuff already.
So I knew I had to try this idea of DIY make-ahead freezer sandwich idea. Gosh, you could even continue this idea in the summer months. Here’s what you do to get it done in 30 minutes or LESS (it took me only 23 mins!):
