Hi reader,
I had a flashback the other day, back to the time when our school administrator gave me the stink-eye when I told her my kids wouldn't need lunch tickets.
Their school didn't have an official hot lunch, but if you bought tickets, your child could choose from a limited menu at places like Chick-Fil-A, Chili's or a local pizza place.
Apparently, we were one of the few families who DIDN'T buy hot lunch tickets, since we pack our lunch every day…
And since we're the minority, I'm guessing the administrator being told "no" to hot lunch tickets probably wasn't something she heard often.
In the end, it was probably just a look of surprise rather than the stink-eye, but it was definitely a surprise to me too that most kids in their class are eating fast food for lunch!
Providing a healthy lunch for the kids doesn't have to be hard or take a lot of time, and since many families can't buy hot lunch tickets right now even if they wanted to, here are my favorite EASY recipes that my kids LOVE to take to school (and make their classmates wish they didn't have hot lunch!)
Psst! Are your kids doing virtual school? And asking for snacks ALL DAY LONG?!
Packing lunch - even though they're home - is still important!
Not only does it help the kids (and you!) feel more on schedule, but it keeps them from asking for snacks all the time!
Here are my favorite easy recipes:

Also, if you feel a bit overwhelmed with the idea of making school lunches, don't. Leftovers are ALWAYS a good option!
