Easy, Healthy School Lunchbox Ideas

Do you struggle with what to send your child to school with every day? This can be especially hard when you’re dealing with a picky eater. Which is why I’ve put together a few tips and recipes to help you pack a healthy, balanced lunchbox your kid will look forward to eating.

Arugula Corn Pear Salad

This recipe is shared with us from Lauren K. Stein, author of Fresh Made Simple, a family-friendly illustrated cookbook. I like to make this for my family because the kids may not eat “salad” but they are almost certain to eat all the components deconstructed on their plate and some goat cheese spread on crackers.
