Nutritional Value of PB&J

Lunch at our house is fairly simple as long as there is bread, peanut butter and some sort of jam or jelly. Logan, Ethan, and Dylan LOVE PB&Js and if I cut them out using a cookie cutter or if Gary cuts them into the shape of a letter, the boys are in heaven. Well, as with most easy ways out, we eat them a bit too often for lunch. It beat the arguments over anything else. Lately we have begun to use them occasionally for dinner on the go too. Yesterday I think we hit an all time new low. I made them for lunch and didn't get around to putting something on for dinner by 3:30 so when Gary got home at 5:00 there was nothing started. We had to leave for a soccer game in ten minutes so Gary packed a dinner for us to eat on the way to the game and while cheering Tom on at the game. Well, dinner was VERY similar to lunch. PB&Js and cookies. I guess if they are nutritious for lunch, then they must be for dinner too? When ball is over in June, things should slow down and we can start eating slow and easy dinners at a normal time again!

Ray would love to live with you. He, on most days eats those for at least 3 meals/snacks. and sometimes at 1am in the morning in bed while watching t.v. Don't feel to bad, at least you are feeding your kids.
