Arnold Organic Bread has long been my go-to, and now that they have Arnold Organic White made with Whole Wheat Bread, it’s Ellie’s favorite, too! And her favorites, Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are right on the package, making it a total win with the elementary school crowd!
Ellie has been begging to help in the kitchen more, and now that she’s SEVEN (sidenote: how is that even possible?!), I figured that she’s old enough to use the stove – while supervised, of course! I love carving some time out of our chaotic schedule to spend some one-on-one time with each one of the kids, though at this age, I feel like Ellie appreciates it the most.
Grilled cheese is her all-time favorite lunch, and it just might be her favorite food ever, so it was the clear first choice as we figured out what she could learn to make. And if I’m being completely honest, it’s one of my favorite lunches, too, so it was totally fine by me!
She listened intently to all the instructions before we started. I’ve found that going over the whole recipe before we start, as well as any expectations, makes the whole thing run smoothly and stay fun – whether you’re dealing with kids or adults. And really, who wants to learn to cook if the experience isn’t fun?!
She was SO proud of herself when she slid her perfectly grilled cheese out of the pan, and she was excited to dig right in! White made with whole wheat bread is perfect for picky eaters since it combines a soft, smooth texture, and great nutrition (including vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E).
I quickly whipped up a grilled cheese sandwich for myself and pulled up a chair next to my sweetheart, and we enjoyed lunch together. While we ate, we chatted about cooking and what she wants to learn to make next!
I love that the bread is made with whole grain without any artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, or high fructose corn syrup, and she loves that it has the delicious white bread flavor. It’s a win-win for everyone!!
Grilled cheese, an apple, and a glass of milk – it’s Ellie’s favorite lunch and one that checks all my boxes – delicious, nutritious, and now, one that she can make all on her own!
