So I bought my son a lunch box, and I am pleased to say that with careful shopping, I was able to spend far, far less on back-to-school shopping than that of the average household ($563.49, according to National Retail Federation).
But now that we have that lunch box, what should we fill it with, and how often will we buy school lunches? Wednesday’s Healthy Living section in the Skagit Valley Herald has some good ideas. Not only does it categorize the many lunch-box options these days, it also offers a few lunch recipes and some great tips on how to keep your kids interested and eating healthy.
I tried the sandwich spirals recipe last night, and while I enjoyed it, my son was not thrilled. But easy variations on the recipe would surely change his mind, especially if he’s allowed to help pick the ingredients.
So parents, what lunch-box recipes do you have? Does your household have a handy lunch-making system?
