MrsBanjoClown Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Do any of you have your main/largest meal at lunch? Dh is about to change his hours and the lunch meal will be the main one that we will all be home to eat together. I'm trying to put together some ideas for our largest meal of the day being lunch. We will do a light dinner each night since it will just be me and the boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAIMOM Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 You can just switch what you normally make for dinner and serve it for lunch. Then serve lunch food at dinner time. I saved the long prep time dinner food for the weekends when we ate dinner food for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We do. And as Maimom suggests, our lunch meal would look like another family's typical "dinner" and our dinner more resembles a light snack or light lunch meal (soups, salads, crackers/fruit, popcorn, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yes, we have our large meal at lunch and a more "lunch like" supper. I use google or my Betty Crocker cookbook for ideas. Google ideas...easy family dinner ideas or simple dinner recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimtaxi234 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We made the switch a few years ago to have our hot meal at lunch time with a light meal at night. I like the flexibility to change that when our schedule changes, but I have gotten used to the hot meal at lunch, plus it is nice to have the bulk of the dishes done earlier in the day.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Many moons ago, dh worked evenings so we had dinner at "lunch" time. I just made normal dinners, like I would have at a later time in the day. At "dinner" time, we at "lunch" food (sandwiches, soups, leftovers).

Guest AliceMoore Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Finding time to make school lunches for your children could be a challenging prospect as you try to get ready for work, too. It is tempting to just give them lunch money or to toss a Hot Pocket and an apple into a bag. But you know your kids should have something healthier. By preparing ahead of time and planning the night before, you can send them off with a healthier alternative that is simpler on your budget as well. Pay for lunch for your kids with an installment loan. School lunch is very important especially for kids who are going to school everyday. They need to eat foods that are very nutritious like fruits to make them active in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
