Yesterday, I found myself in the kitchen preparing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch when my partner, Alex, casually strolled in behind me.
“You’re not exactly pouring your heart into those,” he quipped as I carelessly slathered jelly onto three slices of bread in a monotonous assembly line fashion.
“Heart?” I scoffed. “Not really.”
Maybe it’s because my kids have been munching on the same meal day after day for what feels like an eternity. Or perhaps it’s that any time I dare to change things up, I’m greeted by a chorus of famished kids returning home with untouched lunches. It could also be that I’m still half-asleep when I whip these together in the morning. Maybe I’d rather indulge in their PB&J than my Greek yogurt. Add to that a mountain of laundry and a sink overflowing with dirty dishes, and it’s a recipe for chaos. I show my love for my children in countless ways throughout the day. It could be any combination of these factors.
But let’s be honest, love isn’t the secret ingredient in their lunch boxes.
These sandwiches are made with necessity.
And you know what? They probably taste just as good.
