My first-born is now a first-grader.
The school day is longer, there will be homework, and ... his lunch will be eaten in a remote location.
Through the spring I wondered: pack or pay? School lunch isn’t expensive, and quality looked acceptable. But eventually I decided that since my mother packed my lunches, I was going to pack them for my kids.
Time to hit the library.
While there are not as many school lunch cookbooks as there are, say, cookie cookbooks or throw-a-party cookbooks, there were enough to get me started.
Brown Bag Success: Making Healthy Lunches Your Kids Won’t Trade, by nutritionists Sandra K. Nissenberg and Barbara N. Pearl, is small and inexpensive and doesn’t waste space on things my son wouldn’t dream of eating.
