School Lunch Blues?

Or just lunch blues in general?  
Lunch is one of the hardest meals for me to be creative with.  Cade LOVES, now when I say LOVES i mean LOVES peanut butter and honey sandwiches.  Seriously the kid is addicted and would eat them every day if I would let him.  I know there are worse things he could want but come on the kids needs a variety!  I'm not into packaged and pre cooked foods so the thinker gets put into overdrive coming up with fun new options.  
Well put the thinker away and get out this!


It's a cook book full of colorful pictures and great ideas for school lunches, breakfasts and dinners.  It does have quite a few pre packaged things in it, but every once in a while it's nice to just take the wrapper off and call it good, and with these recipes you can feel better about it being from Trader Joes.  I have so many pages with post-it notes just waiting to be tried.  Fingers crossed Cade is feeling adventurous!

Cades school is selling these books and our favorite neighbor across the street, Katie Brandow has a 2 page spread in the book!  Check out page 64 & 65.  

I know it's only 2-3 weeks into the school year but if your running into the lunch packing blues, pick up a copy of this book and see the sunshine again
