With school starting back, it can be hard to be creative with a kiddo’s lunch menu. This is a list of 20 packed lunches that will make the transition smoother.
  1. A Waffle Taco Bar is something you don’t see everyday! Include ground turkey, cheese and tomatoes and other favorite taco toppings. Yum.
  2. Jurassic Park fans will love this roaring fun Dinosaur Bento Lunch.
  3. Corn dog muffins with cheese wands and clementines give your kiddo a bit of comfort food and healthy food.
  4. Make a big batch of Chicken Parmesan Meatballs. Not only will the kids love them, but they make great lunches for moms and dads, too!
  5. Make sandwiches a little more interesting by turning them into wraps instead, like this Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap.
  6. Nothing will make your kid happier than some 4 Cheese Pepperoni Pizza Bites paired with fresh fruits and veggies.
  7. Make some ham and cheese pinwheels in batches. They’re yummy for breakfast or lunch.
