What’s In Your Lunchbox?

I’ll confess: this is one of those mornings where I realize that I don’t have anything for Katie’s lunchbox.

It has been one of those weeks. If you’re a parent, you totally know what I’m talking about.

My youngest daughter went in for minor surgery on yesterday. It has been all that I have been thinking about for a week now, so I didn’t notice when the peanut butter jar went empty or when we used the rest of the turkey. Now that things are back to normal (?), I’ve realized that the pantry is woefully lacking. I don’t even have good leftovers to send.

I did a quick search this morning and found a great series of sandwich ideas on BHG. Of course, they didn’t help for today (as there were no recipes combining lettuce and jelly, which is about all I have to work with) but there were some good ideas for the rest of the week. Check it out.

    Have you seen http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ ?

    I’m not vegan, but I’d love to pack lunches that look like the ones she packs her son.

About Kids Dish

If you flip through the pages of a number of kids’ magazines, you get the impression that kids’ meals should be Michelin affairs, complete with matching dishware and veggies cut to resemble the works of impressionist painters.

Let’s be real. Parents don’t have that kind of time. And kids have to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Kids' dish focuses on healthy, practical meal solutions for kids… and occasionally, that might mean matching dishware.
