Just kidding :)
Really, here's the thing. Since Justin was diagnosed I have packed his lunch EVERY.DAY!
Now, here we are ALMOST a year and a half later and we have the whats in my lunch BLAH's
Challenge 1 - This child doesn't eat everything. MAJOR HURDLE. He's a picky little bugger! (I can say that cuz I'm his mama :)
Challenge 2 - I need to get the most bang for my carb count. (rather than the most for my buck ~get it? Never mind, it was cheesy, I know) I need more food without adding carbs.
So Mama's on a mission. I want to find some variety to Justin's packed lunch blues :)
Today's shared find is BREAD. Most likely I am THE LAST to know as usual, but I am going to share anyways.
BEFORE DX it was Publix bread that filled our lunch pail. It stayed fresh the longest and I just liked it. But AFTER DX... the 30 carbs in 2 slices only left me with 15 carbs to work with in Justin's lunch box. Not going to work...
So I tried wheat... a few less carbs. At least enough to make the whole PB& J around 30 carbs.
But, sweet Justin wanted NOTHIN to do with the "brown bread".
CRAP!
Then we found white wheat... 22 carbs in 2 slices. Okay, the same a whole wheat itself, but again... add PB&J and you are left with about 15 carbs to work with.
Then we found mini bagel.. I like Thomas'. They have 16 carbs in one bagel. The best part is that Justin will eat some ham on them ~ SCORE~ more carbs to play with means extra snack!! (they are also good with the favorite PB&J)
Keep reading... cuz the list goes on!
Then we found Martin's sliced potato rolls...(great for sliders) again with 16 carbs... great! Justin eats ham and even tuna on these lately :)
AND then there's my latest find. Pepperidge Farm Very Thin bread. 16 carbs.
What kind of bread do you use??
