Key Takeaways: [3:55] The first step to getting the school on board with dietary changes [7:07] Why it's so much better to send a school lunch than to eat in the school cafeteria [7:36] Ideas of what to put in the lunch box [9:46] Quesadilla recipe with Mango-Cabbage Slaw [12:13] Elements for a balanced lunch box [13:26] Strategies to get kids to eat the food in their lunch boxes [16:06] Additional ideas for lunch boxes [18:44] How to avoid buying school lunches [21:03] Important mindset shifts for parents Memorable Moments: "One of my least favorite mom duties is packing a school lunch.” “You really want to build a relationship with the teacher and with the school when it comes to managing the whole cafeteria.” “The best place to start is by talking to the teacher. Let her know about the changes your family is going through and let her know that you really need her help to stay on track.” “A simple conversation with the right people can make a world of difference.” “You're going to get so much more nutrition from that lunch that you're sending than anything that comes off of a cafeteria tray in most places.” “When you start to pay attention to what you're eating, you start to notice all of these places where you can make some really good changes.” “Lunch doesn't always have to be a sandwich. It can actually be tacos or pasta, overnight oats, or things like that.” “The best thing I think that anybody can do is to make a list or a chart of all the different food groups..so your proteins, your vegetables, your fruits, and grains, and add all of your favorite things to that chart so that you have a list to always go back and refer to. And you can build your lunch off of that list.” ”My number one tip for this is to get the kids involved.” “Not only does the planning make this process easier, but my child is happy.” “I could not let ME be the reason my son was not getting better.” How to Connect with Andrea Daigle Free call: https://bit.ly/3X5ZVvT Dana Kay Resources: Website: https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDThriveInstitute/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adhd-thrive-institute/mycompany/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/adhdthriveinstitute/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute International Best Selling Book, Thriving with ADHD – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/ Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass – https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl ADHD Parenting Course – https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/parentingadhd ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/
Jenny Mollen, known for her fun, easy, and healthy lunches for even the pickiest of eaters, is showing parents how to avoid the struggles of returning to the back-to-school routine by partnering with Egglife Foods, the innovative food company that uses cage-free eggs instead of flour to redefine carb-heavy foods!

Q. There has been some discussion lately regarding the handling of students with negative lunch accounts. What is Brenham ISD doing to address this? A. An automated phone call is placed each night to the phone number on record when a student has a negative meal account balance. A student with no money is allowed to charge up to three days’ worth of meals (3 breakfasts, 3 lunches) to give the household time to make a payment on the child’s account. Once the grace period is exhausted, the student receives a complete alternate meal consisting of a cheese sandwich entrée plus fruit, vegetable, and choice of milk and condiments free of charge. If a student receives four alternate meals, the household is personally contacted by the child nutrition department to identify their needs and connect them to assistance where possible. Q. Speaking of assistance, how can someone from the community help alleviate debt on student accounts? A. The Brenham ISD Child Nutrition Department has a donor account from which transfers can be made to pay off negative balances. Donations can be made to this account by contacting the child nutrition office at 979-277-3750. Q. As a parent, how can I see what my child’s account balance is and what my child has been spending their money on? A. You can create an EZSchoolPay account from the link on the Brenham ISD child nutrition website. This will allow you to see your child’s balance at any time. By clicking on your listed child, you can also see a report of all their transactions for the last month. Q. Is there a charge to set up EZSchoolPay? A. No, there is no charge to set up an account in EZSchoolPay. An EZSchoolPay account can be set up without entering any credit card information at all. Parents can also create an account for their child with no credit card associated with the account. The child can then download the EZSchoolPay app on their phone and log in to view the meal account balance at any time. Q. It’s almost National School Lunch Week. What is Brenham ISD doing to celebrate this week? A. This year’s National School Lunch Week is October 14-18. The superhero theme will focus on “Saving the Day with a Healthy School Lunch.” We will start each day with morning announcements to promote our super healthy food group of the day and at lunch, we will serve a variety of menu choices with special attention to the daily featured food group. These featured groups offer menu items that are essential to help support memory and provide vitamins such as vitamin C, provide protein for muscle development and strength, provide fiber for digestive health and B vitamins, plus calcium for bone building. Of course, no celebration is complete without a treat, so also this week, we will also offer a special super treat with lunch meals!
