Moms… are the kids making you crazy by not eating lunch at school? Are you in search of a nice kid loving menu for your little ones? Then this is the place for you to gather some information.
I underwent all these and kitchen became my research laboratory every day when I prepare lunch for my kids. These little ones started kindling my brain, and I found good and healthy stuffs to pack for them. Of course there are few items, which are not that healthy, but we need to send the kids food like that once in a while, so that they don’t get aversion towards food by itself.
I always used to keep 3 items for them to school.
1. Main dish
2. Veggie side
3. Fruit of the day
Note: They don’t finish of all the three every day.
I always make sure that what ever dish I cook for the kids; I use the frozen mixed vegetables in almost every dish, so that they are not lacking veggies in their food.
