    Lunch for Mom // Cucumber Sandwich

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Planet Box Lunch- inside are pistachios, sliced green apples, pickle-tomato-cheese skewer, and cucumber sandwich

    While you are packing your kids fun, healthy and creative lunches -- may I suggest that you pack on for yourself as well?  It may sound crazy - but it is giving yourself a little gift.  The gift of self care through a healthy and filling lunch.  Packing a lunch for mom will not only help you with portion control, but it will also keep you out of the drive thru while you're out running errands.  And I promise you'll be so much more satisfied with a lunch like this than you would with a greasy burger and fries.  So this week, while we are highlighting lunches to send to school with your kids, I wanted to spend one post on the moms.

    Planet Box Lunch filled with cucumber sandwich and pistachios and apple slices

    We love PlanetBox around here.  Their stainless steel divided lunch boxes make packing a lunch so fun.  I love their instagram account - it is full of fun lunch ideas.  Today I wanted to share a more grown-up lunch idea for stay at home moms or for working moms.  Packing a lunch is such a healthy routine.  You can plan ahead and make sure that you are getting the nourishment a busy mom needs, as well as watch your waistline.

    Planet Box Lunch with cucumber sandwich and lunch sides

    For this lunch I started with a rustic twist on Aubrey's English Tea Cucumber Sandwiches.  My friend Cheyenne (Hi Cheyenne!) is often found at the park with a simple cucumber sandwich - wheat bread, cream cheese, and cucumber slices.  She gave me a sample one day and I loved it!  So simple, so fresh, and so delicious.  So today I am using lavash bread, whipped cream cheese, and cucumber slices as the main element to my lunch.  Most grocery stores carry lavash these days - but I think plain ol' wheat bread tastes fantastic as well!

    I added a few mini skewers of pickle, tomato, and pepper jack - an appetizer my mom often makes at baby showers.  On the side, some sliced green apple with a wedge of laughing cow cheese.  This combo is heavenly.  For a little salt, I added some roasted pistachios - they always satisfy my craving for chips.  And because you deserve it - a sweet little chocolate for dessert.  Pair this with a bottle of water and you won't feel guilty about your lunch!
