Lunches Stress Me Out

LUNCHES STRESS ME OUT!

Trying to get kids and teenagers to spend 5 minutes in order to prepare a healthy, gluten free lunch is trying to say the least. Here's one tip that gets something wholesome in their bellies that is easy and they don't mind eating.

 

Apple sauce!

It's actually very very easy to make. My step father taught me that you don't need to blender it just a quick run thru with a masher does the trick.

I bought a massive amount of apples from good friends of ours who have an orchard Last fall and left them in the garage in a big tub. Keeps the critters out but cool enough to keep good. Now I admit I should have gotten onto this a bit earlier as some apples are on their way out.

I chose a tart apple for the majority of the batch but I also like to throw in a sweet one or two to make it a bit nicer and avoid using sugar.

I used a peeler that I got from Stokes. It is the absolute best and if I ever recommend a product this would be it. Simple construction, inexpensive and it cores, peels and slices in one shot. ITS A DREAM!

Peel up however much you like, throw in a big pot with a bit of water, cover and boil till nice a mushy, add cinnamon if you like and mash. I put my batch in jars that were clean but not sterilized as I am not keeping them long term. They will get refrigerated and eatin probably by the end of the week. But at least this way it can be a quick stash and go for my guys lunches. Want more info? Please leave a comment.
