3 Lunches in 5minutes!

We are working on a whole new way of living here at the Roberts Home this year, One thing we are doing this year is making our own lunches! I can make three school lunches in less then five minutes. "Go Mom - Go Mom!" On Sunday I take a whole loaf of bread from my freezer, because I bought a bunch last week when they were on sale, and I grab the PB&J. I sit down at the Table and spread all the slices out on a cookie sheet. I spread Peanut butter on every slice, (spreading PB on frozen bread is sooo easy!) then I put Jelly on every other one. (PB on both sides stops the jelly from seeping through the bread) put the two together and then back into the freezer on the cookie sheet. After an hour or so, I pull them back out and put each in its own bag, then into the freezer sandwich bin for Monday morning! Now Stevie doesn't like PBJ and so for him I do meat and cheese, same frozen bread, some meat, a slice of cheese (shredded cheese works best) and in the baggy then freezer it goes. NO Mayo! Mayo doesn't freeze and well, its just wrong. Sam's Club sells those little packets of Mayo in bulk, but Steve grabs a few at QT when he goes. :) I freeze the Capri Suns as well (sale 2 weeks ago) so it works as a freezer pack and then nice and chilled by lunch. For fruit I have grapes already plucked and washed in a big bag, and sliced up apples in Orange Juice. They don't brown, they stay juicy and it last all week! I can make 3 full lunches with snacks and fruit in under five minutes!! Woot Woot!
