Thanks for the great recipe ideas! I am clueless at lunchtime and it would be salad, or peanut butter & jelly every day for us if my kids didn’t complain about it. I always need some help with variety at lunchtime!
I love it how I’m a 16 year old, being the kid “complaining” about the food. I have to go find recipes… ughh – not enough food in the house!
