Bread Pizza



Today's Lunch: Bread Pizza

A wanted some kind of Pizza today for lunch as they make Cheese Pizza in the cafeteria on Fridays. She has the option of buying lunch there (I will be glad to get a break for a day! ) but... Well the story is she tried it on the first Friday of school, stood in the line and found some strange smell near the kitchen which made her feel nauseated. She left the line without buying the food and has been refusing to buy food in the cafeteria ever since. I am not sure what the smell was as she said she has never smelt something like that before. My guess is it was a chicken dish that was on the menu that day as A has never really smelt meat cooking. So long story short we are doing lunch from home on all days until further notice from her highness!

I forgot to take a picture of her lunch as it was a big rush this morning, but this is a picture of a slice that I saved for myself. I just sent a few slices of this with nothing else for lunch as she buys ice cream at school on Fridays.

Ingredients

Wheat Bread ( Other kind of bread like Pita or Afghan Bread might work even better but this is what I had at hand today)
Pizza Sauce ( I used a store bought Grilled Vegetable Pasta sauce)
Mozzarella Cheese

Method

Lay the bread slices on an oven safe plate and spread the pizza sauce on it. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese such that the bread is covered. Bake this in an oven heated to 350 deg F for about 5 to 8 minutes or until all the cheese is melted. Cut the Bread Pizza into the desired size and enjoy!

Vermicelli Uppit/Rice Noodles




Yesterday's Lunch

Shavige Uppit* (Vermicelli noodles seasoned with mustard seeds, onions and green chillies, sauteed with finely chopped cooked vegetables)
Grapes
Chocolate Milk

How did it do?

Good, though she finished the uppit only after coming home. She 'loved it', in her words but was in a very deep discussion with a friend so could not finish it. The most important discussion was if they all found bugs in their lunch boxes when they opened them and the whole cafeteria is filled with things crawling and flying!

*I will post the detailed recipe of this one soon. Because for one we love this at our place and I have the right proportions for it and dont want to forget it. And two I had made this for A's second birthday party and many people have taken the recipe.

Paneer Wrap




Today's Lunch

Paneer wrap ( Corn Tortilla stuffed with lightly sauteed grated paneer seasoned with salt and garam masala.)
Sweet Potato flowers ( Sweet potato slices microwaved and lightly sauteed with salt and pepper)
Apple Slices dipped in orange juice
Cookie

How did it do?

Bad. The whole wrap came back. She said she didnt like it. And only half of the sweet potato slices were eaten. I think we will stay away from wraps for a few days as she has not been eating any kind of wraps sent  in the lunch box.

Apple Butter Sandwich Bites




Yesterday's Lunch

Apple Butter Sandwich cut into bite size squares
Grapes
Cucumber slices
Chocolate Milk

How did it do?

It did good. A few sandwich bites came back as she got full and she finished that after school.
