How to Pack a Healthy Lunch for Kids

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. # PackSnacksTheyLove #CollectiveBias Having a healthy lunch at school is so important for kids. There is the option to buy school lunch or to pack your own from home. When I was in school, I bought lunch once a week and brought lunch four times per week. This worked well and I think that we will do the same thing for Adalyn when she starts school. As a dietitian and mom, I think a lot about food and nutrition. Before Adalyn was born, I thought about how I wanted to raise her, how I want her to be a strong woman and how I want her to enjoy healthy foods (with a few treats along the way). Adalyn does not go to school quite yet but when she does, these are some of the things that I will pack in her lunch. At home, we keep her meals pretty balanced as well and feed her all of these foods on a regular basis.

Healthiest Foods for Back to School

Whether we want to admit it or not, back to school is coming. Adalyn won't be going to school quite yet but my husband will! He is starting his sixth year as a teacher and this year, is teaching honors physics, earth science, regular physics and astronomy. With 4 classes to prep, during the school year is very busy for us. Therefore, I like to stock up our fridge, freezer and pantry for back to school to make cooking and healthy eating as easy as possible. I pack our lunches every day, we both bring a breakfast from home and then eat dinner together as a family. Healthy eating is important to me year round and to make the back-to-school hustle easier, I make sure that I have most of these foods on hand.

Mini Fruit Ice Cream Cakes

Make your own ice cream cake at home with this easy, homemade strawberry sweet cream ice cream topped with fresh fruit for the perfect celebration! I have said it before and I will say it again, I am not a baker. I love to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner but baked goods- not my favorite! Baking requires an exact science and I am more of a person who likes to throw in a little of this or a little of that as I feel like it. Therefore, when it comes to special events such as birthdays, I like to find different alternatives to homemade cake since I cannot bake.

Products I'm Loving in 2016 Part 23

1. Sun Basket I love trying meal services so that when people ask me which one is best, I am able to let them know my honest answer after trying a variety of them. Well, friends, I have found my favorite meal service and it is called Sun Basket. Out of all of the meals that I've tried, Sun Basket has the freshest and most flavorful. I was sent three meals to try and loved them all. Each meal featured fresh herbs providing so much flavor to the meal. What I liked was that the meals were completely out of the ordinary. I am a fairly skilled cook and if I can make the recipe at home in 10 minutes without many ingredients, I do not need a meal service to order it.
