WEELICIOUS LUNCHES: Think Outside the Lunch Box with More Than 160 Happier Meals

By Jennifer

 

WeeliciousLunches-hc-e1377220779171

On average, children attend school 180 days in a year. While it’s not practical to expect 180 different lunches, packing the same meal every day can be redundant and nutrition-starved.  Catherine McCord, the founder of the wildly popular weeliciousblog has a fantastic new book out called WEELICIOUS LUNCHES: Think Outside the Lunch Box with More Than 160 Happier Meals.  LUNCHES serves as both a cookbook and an inspirational how-to guide. An acclaimed chef and food blogger, Catherine McCord, mother of two school-age children, has been on a lunch mission to figure out what makes the “perfect” lunch and how to make sure that a kid’s lunch box comes home empty every day.

Filled with beautiful color photographs, lists of lunchbox favorites, tips for picky eaters, facts on food allergies & substitutes, over 160 recipes, WEELICIOUS LUNCHES makes it easy to get kids eating healthy. Catherine offers tips on:

·         From dinner to lunch: reinventing leftovers

·         Lunch box love: One of the biggest questions facing parents is what kind of lunch box they should buy

·         Hot or cold? That is the question: one of the most frequently asked questions about packing lunch

·         Strategies for “picky” eaters

·         Lunch box combination ideas, theme meals, healthy snacks

This afternoon I needed a very quick snack where I could use some items I already had on hand.  I gave one of the super-easy recipes a try, the Banana Dog Bites – just a banana, peanut butter and tortilla all wrapped up and then cut into wheels:

Ok, so I realize they are far from perfect-looking, I had a hungry toddler on my hands.  But she didn’t care how it looked, she loved it!

Here are some recipes that i’m dying to try, just to give you a taste of the amazing recipes in this book:
