We’re marching back into lunch box territory folks quicker than the school bell can be rung. So let’s try and keep lunch interesting with these delicious and hard to resist lunch box recipes!
The old saying of “we eat with our eyes” has never been more true when dealing with a super tough food critic – ie. a school kid. Sound familiar?
If kids don’t like the look of their food, they ain’t going to eat it. Plain and simple.
So keep food appealing. For instance, veggies and salad are much more likely to be eaten when accompanied with a dip or wrapped in a cold roll or smuggled in a slice. Who wants a bag of carrot sticks anyway?
So without further ado, bookmark this page so you can plan your shopping list later – here’s some stellar lunch box inspo for the new school year!
