Kid Lunch IdeasAt our house lunchtime is the hardest to figure out. What I've done to make it easier is make a list of kid lunch ideas and post it on the fridge or in my cookbook. I get the kids to sit down with me and we brainstorm lunch ideas. I especially like to do this before school starts and I'm always in need of kid lunch box ideas. I've included our lunch ideas list below as well as some of our favorite lunch recipes. Please share your own ideas, recipes or list of your favorite kid lunches.  Kid Lunch IdeasThese ideas work well served at home or put into a lunch box. Just stock up on plastic containers of various sizes, a kid size thermos, several ice packs and a lunch box and you can turn most lunches or dinners into kid lunch box ideas.
Vegetables with LunchDon't forget to provide vegetables in small containers to go in your kids lunch box. Talk with your kids and add what vegetables they would like to your "lunch list."
