Guess what – she also has 2 cookbooks and one of them is solely about lunches!! YAY! From matzah jammies to pesto melts, PB&J muffins to pizza balls there is something for even the pickiest eater in her cookbooks. In searching for more recipes, I also stumbled upon Weelicious. (mom tip – sometimes I use cucumbers instead of crackers.) My kids love when I pack homemade “Lunchables” for them. I always include fruit and raw veggies but I find myself forgetting that edamame, cheese cubes, popcorn, or frozen peas make fun sides.

Both books feature easy to make lunch dishes like broccoli & cheddar soup, veggie cream cheese sandwiches and mini lunch box quiches and pizza bites. As a long time blog follower, I, of course, snatched up her first cookbook –Her crockpot chicken recipe is BEYOND - and pre- ordered her second.

My kids go to a school that makes packing lunch VERY difficult – no tree nuts, peanuts, or meat. But I would rather do 10 loads of laundry a day than pack a school lunch. People complain about the constant application of sunscreen or the extra laundry from towels and swimsuits. Wanna know my favorite part of summer? NOT HAVING TO PACK LUNCH! Seriously.
