Summer Lunches for Kids | Indroducing Fun Lunch Friday

[@crystalashleywomack]

Nate kills it when eating at home!! I love the fun lunch Friday idea! 💜

The frosted sugar cookies were my daughter's favorite growing up, and they still are her favorite today as a grown up!😀 The summer lunch series looks like it is going to be fun to watch! When my kids were little, I would pack a picnic, and we would head to a local pool for the day. My kids still talk about the "pool picnics," and how much fun we had!

So excited you are doing summer lunch! Love your channel! I am so glad im not the only parent who thinks making kids eat all their food to get dessert can cause eating problems. Hope you have a great upcoming weekend and week

[@hannahlawson92]

I love that you don’t make them eat it all. I started putting dessert on my kiddos plate at the same time as the main dish and let her eat in whatever order she wants. Sometimes she eats the dessert first or in the middle. Sometimes she eats only the dessert and is full. But I know she isn’t overeating and listening to her body! ❤️

I love the idea of the fun lunch Friday! I’ve got my hands full with my 4 year old and 2 year old this summer every day! Definitely going to give that idea a try!

[@BlessedJess]

Let me know what fun lunches y’all end up having!

As a child during the summer my mom would bring myself, my sister and brother to go pick up subs at Subway and meet my dad at work for lunch. It was so neat to get to pick out our own sandwiches and have a picnic lunch on the quad (my dad works for a large University) with my dad. It wasn't something we did all the time, but it was nice treat just to get out of the house and do something different.

Fun!

Excellent summer lunch video as always!

[@shannonmcmullen3916]

Im so glad it went so good!!!! It was nice to see Nate in the video!!! How fun that he was saying hello to everyone at the store!!!! Cant wait to see what they choose next Friday!!!! :)

Growing up I always loved to go to the park on a hot summer day and have a a pick-nick, maybe since it’s fun lunch Friday you could even get Nate and Lucy a popsicle :)

[@Sandrashideaway]

Lofthouse cookies are my FAV! 😍 Great idea 💡 to do the Friday fun lunch! 😀 Love that!

[@sweetmelody1017]

Fun lunch Friday is so FUN!! lol 😎

[@LifeWithMrsB]

Yes, food is just food. I don’t make my kids eat all of their food in order to get a dessert. On a Friday we often do poetry tea time. I make my take on an afternoon tea, sandwiches, scones, fruit and veggie sticks, nothing fancy lol.

[@CarolgTX]

I love the poetry tea lunch idea!!!

[@gabbyk9859]

Great week!! 🥰🥰😃😃❤

[@stephaniechase4924]

Lucy and Nate ate great as usual and poor Mark I hope it gets better and I still enjoy going on picnics they are nice have a good night

My day program for adults with Autism is year round. Quick lunches for me. My gluten free Purdue honey chicken nuggets and yogurt. Cereal, or bagels for a quick breakfast.

[@lucindaj.tackett9773]

I still love those cookies. I’m trying to find some things for my grandkids to eat and snack on now that school is out and I’m back to babysitting most days for at least one of them. It’s hard to find stuff that all 3 will eat.

[@tarasimon373]

My grandbabies like theme day, like fish day, we’ll watch a fish movie, eat gold fish for snack, cut out sandwiches, cheese, fruit in shape if fish. They love when I made blue jello in a jello roll pan and put a few Swedish fish in. It’s wS so much fun.

[@BlessedJess]

So fun!

[@Hopeful-w7h]

Aww - fun lunch Friday sounds wonderful! Well done Jess.

[@PinkHawk191]

I loved those cookies before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Those cookies are a favorite thing here in Maryland. .

[@TheGLOSSette]

I love ur summer and school lunch videos. I like how you don't force feed ur kids healthy foods but do a variety and give them stuff they'll actually eat. Some of these similar videos from other moms are titled "picky eater" but its like tons of fruits or veggies or whatnot and having a picky 4 year old to me that doesn't seem picky and not helpful lol.

[@BlessedJess]

Lol. I’ve been there when I search for picky eater recipes and, no lie, they will list quinoa as an ingredient in the recipe. What?! 😂

[@Jen5914]

I agree Jess! I they want their dessert I say..okay are you full? Instead..did you eat everything? 💜

[@marissadbanks]

I remember the frosted sugar cookies love them still today ❤️

[@nancyfarkas3592]

I agree that people put too much emphasis on kids cleaning their Plates and use dessert to get that to work. But kids need to learn to stop when full as should adults.

[@jamielovinitt]

It really blows my mind that you fix something completely different for each child

[@BlessedJess]

Alrighty then.

[@haileymacgregor5866]

I have an idea for fun lunch Friday Happy Meals and taking them to the park on a picnic

[@judysilverman1787]

I agree with you. Kids shouldn’t have to clean their plate to get dessert. Dessert shouldn’t be a reward. That just leads to weight problems and eating disorders.

[@jen86270211]

Great video. I know all to well about getting toddler to eat i have a 15 month boy myself....shewww....

[@lithottamera6089]

Great video

[@emilyglover8019]

You could go take them McDonald’s and do a park picnic

[@NJAngelBeeTalk]

That is a super idea!

[@rachelparks2281]
