Yesterday I told you what I make available for my kids’ lunches. Although our school contracts with a school lunch company that does a pretty good job of providing low fat lunches with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, I still prefer them to take cold lunch more than getting the hot lunch.
Thanks to [...]

Yes, MomCooks readers, it’s that time of the year again. Time to figure out what the heck to put in your kids’ lunches every day! I’m not big on making a specific lunch menu plan, I’d rather just provide a few options for an entree, sides, and drinks, and then let [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Lunchbox Ideas on May 11th, 2010 I found this terrific post at Mommy’s Martini. She made a list, organized by category, of healthier options for kids’ lunchboxes. I’ll be packing a lunch again when Kaitlyn goes to kindergarten, so I’m posting these here so I don’t forget!

My boys start school tomorrow, which means my weekly menus will now include a brown bag lunch meal. Kaitlyn and I will eat the same things as the boys, just at home. My lunches this week are coming mainly from the book “Brown Bag Success-Making Lunches Your Kids Won’t Trade”, by Sandra K. Nissenberg, MS, [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Kids Favorites, Lunchbox Ideas on August 14th, 2008 The first edition of this post was so popular last year, and is still bringing me search traffic (hi Googlers! Welcome to MomCooks!) that I am reposting the recipes along with some new information. Ever since my oldest son started all-day kindergarten, I’ve been on a quest to find brown bag lunch ideas that are [...]

Well, whether we like it or not, summer is coming to an end and it’s time to start thinking about back to school plans, including the dreaded (at least for me) routine of packing school lunches. This year I am determined to make school lunch packing easier on both myself and the boys by [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Food News, Fruit, Lunchbox Ideas on August 12th, 2008 There is so much to love about the new Freeze Dried Fruit packs from Funky Monkey Snacks! I admit, I am terrible about remembering to eat fruit, even though I do love the taste of most of it. Funky Monkey takes delicious fruits and freeze dries them to make them easy to pack, easy to [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Kids Favorites, Lunchbox Ideas on December 15th, 2007 I saw this post on Simple Daily Recipes from Jill, who served her kids crackers, meat, cheese and a squirt of cream cheese on top, and called them “Mom’s Munchables”. Her kids loved them! And it got me thinking, why not make my own Lunchables? What I think kids like most about those is the [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Lunchbox Ideas on October 3rd, 2007 I took the same lunch to school every day for years-Oscar Meyer bologna and an American cheese slice on white bread, with mayo, plus a baggie of Ruffles and two Chips Ahoy cookies. Washed down with a healthy pint of school milk, of course. There’s very little actual nutrition in that lunch, except for a [...]
