Lunch Boxes and Snacks: Over 120 Healthy Recipes, from Delicious Sandwiches and Salads to Hot Soups and Sweet Treats

If you are burned out trying to come up with ideas for kids' meals this book is for you. Meals are easy to make and colorful to be of interest to your kid. A bonus, if your kid likes to be in the kitchen like mine, s/he can assist in making the items.

I am not the most creative person when it comes to packed lunches, but this book makes it easy! Many ingredients are easily found, and likely to be in your fridge or pantry already. Many you can make with leftover foods such as cooked chicken, or the 2 tablespoons of corn left over from dinner. Most are items my daughter will readily eat without complaint. For health reasons, we decided to stop eating cafeteria food and started packing our own. I ran out of ideas rather quickly and knew we had to break away from PB & J, so I ordered this book. What's great it that it's "adult friendly" too. No smiley face sandwiches or mac and cheese here...just healthy food made easy. Our kiddo is now the envy of the lunch room!

This book is filled with lunches suitable for adults. Some are too intricate for children.

Lunch Boxes and Snacks: Over 120 healthy recipes from delicious sandwhiches and salads to hot soups and sweet treats is a great guide for the end of boredom at school and at work. Everything here is packable, nutritious and wonderfully good-tasting. The book includes information on how to keep food safe after it leaves your refrigerator and how to involve kids in the selection and process. But, be advised that it is great for adults also. We get bored with everyday same-old same-old, too! I purchased this book on a whim while food-shopping at a mega-market. I flipped through it over coffee and went right back to the aisles for some immediate meal transformations. I don't regret purchasing it!
