That top one, feed the hungry, is pretty simple to accept and follow. A CRS rice bowl in the center of the table is a great reminder to the whole family that there are starving people all around the world and we are called to give so they may eat.
Putting coins in a cardboard box is easy, but you know what's hard? Actually feeding the hungry. The hungry mouths that are around me all day. 11:25 a.m. rolls around and one by one my kids start asking the dreaded question. The question I wish I had an answer to everyday, but I don't.
WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?
What's for lunch? How am I supposed to know? Probably leftovers - whatever you can find in the fridge. The little ones can have bread and butter and an apple. That's what's for lunch!
Preparing lunch is just not my thing. It's such a disruption in our productivity. Just when our homeschooling day is on a roll, it's lunch time.
Feeding the hungry lunch is truly a corporal work of mercy for me. That's why the #1 measure of a good week to come is a week long lunch plan. #2 is stocking the pantry with ingredients.
There's not much to it. Easy enough for even a 10 year old. In case it's not self explanatory, here's the method.

Here's a recipe (if you can call it that) for a lunch my kids go crazy for. With easy to find ingredients, these sandwiches are inexpensive and simple. They're not just for homeschoolers; they're for anyone looking to put a hot meal in front of their family in a snap.
Hot Ham & Cheese
hamburger buns
butter
sliced ham
sliced cheese
There's not much to it. Easy enough for even a 10 year old. In case it's not self explanatory, here's the method.
Place split buns on cookie sheet.
Top bottom half with ham and cheese.
Butter top half of bun.
Sprinkle lightly with sandwich sprinkle or roasted garlic sprinkle.
Broil until top bun is toasted and cheese is melty.

| This can hardly be considered a recipe, but toasting the ham sandwich does make an ordinarily boring, cold sandwich extra special. |
I'm always on the lookout for simple lunch ideas, do you have any that can feed a crowd? Please share in the comments or on FB. Thanks.

I feel the same about lunch. Just when the homeschool day gets on a roll, it is time to stop! My kids make these broiled sandwiches many days also. Another favorite is shredded cheese and leftover chicken rolled up in a tortilla and warmed in the oven. I am having fun looking at your blog! I have 8 and am in WI.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to "meet" another Wisconsin homeschooler. Rollups are a favorite of my 16 year old daughter. She loves using the whole wheat tortillas and whatever she can find in the fridge.
DeleteThese were really tasty! I used the sandwich sprinkle from Penzeys too. I also made your brat stew with a tweak. I used smoked kielbasa instead of the brats. I had a lot more potatoes to use up so I added 1 extra can of cream of whatever soup. Super tasty. (I think I used 1 can mushroom soup and 1 can celery). Love your recipes. I am from Wisconsin but in Montana now. Have a great day and I hope youtube turns comments back on soon. Hang in there!
