The First Day of school was crazy, today. I believe the sentiment was kind of mutual — both teachers and for the parents.  I was super-excited, emotional and over-thinking a lot…for a while!!

Hmmmm, the major stress factor is not about meeting the new teacher nor about making new friends! It’s all about the food — will she be able to eat our Home Made Lunch? All these days…I’ve been solely depending on the cafeteria lunch, at the school. Which is really…pretty cool and totally hassle-free! However, at some point…I’ve to take this tough decision of packing the lunch. I am sure, its gonna be a challenge! Hope, we would slowly overcome it.

And, for today…here is some of the snack ideas that I follow. Well, I am not a Super-Mom…I do take a lot of advice from my friends. In fact, I am the craziest one…who calls all my friends for an instant solution. And, do you want to know…who is on my speed dial List??

Number 1 - Gita - is Mommy of the twins, additionally a Food Blogger — now, how cool is that?
Number 2 – Monica – A young girl with zillion ideas.
