Healthy School Lunch Ideas (Roundup 14!)

School is not over yet so who’s ready for another installment in my School Lunch Roundup series?! I hope these pics give you some inspiration when it comes to your little ones (or even your own work lunch!). Ask your kiddos to look at these images with you and point out what they’d like to eat in their next packed lunch.

A Few Resources

• School Lunch Photo Gallery
• Why we switched to different lunch boxes this year
• Recipe Index (list) or Recipe Search (photos)
• My cookbooks all contain more lunch box ideas as well

And a newer resource you don’t want to miss!

• School Lunch Packing Chart (that I’ve been using every week this year and loving!)
