Inside the Dougherty Dozen's Lunch Prep: Creative and Nutritious Meals for 11 Kids

Delving into the daily life of the Dougherty Dozen, the latest video reveals a meticulously prepared lunch for their 11 children. The highlight? A homemade lunchable crafted with care and attention to detail. Each child received a delightful combination of Ritz crackers, sliced Colby jack cheese, salami, and pepperoni. Special consideration was given to the lactose-intolerant child with the inclusion of a lactate pill.

Fresh strawberries were packed as the fruit of the day, ensuring a healthy dose of vitamins. The lunch boxes were organized in age order, emphasizing structure and efficiency. Hydration came in the form of Poland Spring water, a trusted and refreshing choice. Baby carrots paired with ranch dressing added a crunchy, nutritious vegetable option.

To make lunchtime even more exciting, a Danimals smoothie and a fun Star Wars Oreo cookie from Costco were included, adding a touch of whimsy and fun. Practical additions like a wet wipe and a breath mint ensured cleanliness and freshness, while a motivational napkin provided an extra boost of encouragement. For those with bigger appetites, a granola bar was added as a backup.

The final touch was a penguin ice pack to keep everything fresh, sealing the lunch boxes with care. This video from the Dougherty Dozen is a perfect example of how thoughtful meal prep can make a big difference in a child's day.
