I'm super pleased that so many of you liked my last post on healthy school lunches. I love hearing that this article put you at ease and made you feel like you could totally rock a nutritious school lunch. One of the questions that kept coming up in the feedback though was:
School Lunches: And the Gold Medal goes to THE SANDWICH
School Lunches: JUST FRIKIN' EAT IT!!!!
At the beginning of every school year, I search for ideas on what to pack for my kids' school lunch. I look at pictures of beautiful bento boxes with Hello Kitty-looking rice packs. I get inspired by the teriyaki, sesame chicken sticks and imagine my ultra picky daughter getting excited by vegetables (that she's never eaten) arranged to look like the scene of a magical forest. I muse: she'll definitely eat a carrot if she thinks it's the trunk of a fairy oak tree! Then reality hits.
