Instead of a whole meal, today I would like to spotlight a great snack or side item for kid-friendly lunch. I talk a lot about healthy food and introducing variety into your kid’s diets around here. I try to pack a healthy and balanced lunch for Madeline every day. I want her to have the best fuel to keep her focused, engaged and learning all day long. I get into ruts sometimes though. I think we all do. It’s a hazard of packing a lunch everyday. Or cooking for the same people every single day. For this

I think the world of sweet potatoes. I love the color, the taste and the healthiness of them. For Madeline sweet potatoes are hit and miss. One day she likes them and the next she’s not a fan. I think a lot of it has to do with the way I serve them. One way she loves sweet potatoes is wrapped up in a burrito. Especially when she gets to make the burrito herself. Since she is in school she doesn’t get to make her own lunches all that often but when she does she

Obviously Madeline is my favorite school-aged valentine. She was on the lookout for Love in every meal today. This morning scrambled eggs and heart-shaped peanut butter pancakes topped with strawberries and yogurt. Our chicken stir-fry dinner even had heart-shaped carrots just for fun. Of course, her lunch and snacks were made using some of the ideas I shared to make fun and healthy Valentine’s Day lunches for kids, and were packed full of hearts, red, pink and white too. She loved it. I wasn’t a big fan of Valentine’s Day until Madeline came along. Now with two

Dear lunch packers of the world, I have something important to say. I might have said it before, but it’s worth repeating. When dinner is a hit make it into a lunch.

It easy to pack different dishes and really make a meal for Madeline’s lunch easily. What’s in the lunch box: Pork and Potatoes Sweet Sesame Baked Chicken cut into chunks Garlic mashed potatoes Green salad with citrus vinaigrette Anjou pear quarters

Halloween is fun. I know Madeline will get her fair share of treats and sweets today so I focused on packing her a fun Halloween themed lunch that was healthy all while being fun.

Whats in the box: Whole wheat Ghost and Mummy open-faced English muffin sandwiches topped with mustard, ham, mozzarella and black olives. Jack-o-lantern carrot slices and pomegranate- balsamic vinegar to dip. Ghost bananas. Did you pack anything special or do you

Whats’ in the Box: Cinnamon raisin bagel with natural peanut butter Bartlett pear, quartered Red Grapes Cottage cheese
