Tired of wondering what to pack in your children's lunch box every day? These nut free lunch ideas are perfect for even the pickiest of eaters!
It will soon be back to school time here in Canada and I am so happy to have returned to work. Due to covid, I was unable to be in my school cafeteria during the last 18 months. While I enjoyed my time off, I am happy to be returning to a somewhat normal routine. Let me tell you though, I am exhausted!
The fact that I am bone tired got me thinking of how lucky I am to have older children. My kids have been packing their lunches for about the last 4 yrs now, so I don't really have to try and figure out what to pack them and hope that they will eat it. Being a working mom, then coming home and doing the 'MOM' thing is stressful sometimes, so I wanted to collect school lunch recipe ideas, to please even the pickiest of eaters.
PIN IT!!!
