Do you ever find yourself at a loss for what to pack in your child's school lunch box? I've been there, believe me. It's definitely not easy trying to come up with creative ideas for the lunch box while juggling work, home, and family every day.
The trick is to keep it simple while making it fun (and keeping it all healthy, of course). I'm always looking for ideas, and came across this wonderful idea for healthy "Lunchables" from Melissa Iwai, the author of a new book called Soup Day, which celebrates the joy of cooking with children.
Since the real versions of this kid-favorite lunch box item is laden with fat, preservatives, and sodium, Melissa came up with a way to make a healthier version, using multigrain tortillas, nitrate-free smoked ham and organic cheese.

I’m always surprised by the recipes that are purportedly kid friendly. I know a few kids who are foodies, but most of the kids I know – including my own – just want their nuggets, pbj and, if we’re lucky, tuna or ham. So much for cold lunch.
We’re lucky enough to have microwaves available to the kids, but it raises another question: how to send them food in microwave AND kidsafe containers?
I tried some pretty cool insulated containers for soup, but because of the heat, it created a seal that the kids couldn’t open. Adults could – not kids. Thus, microwave.
I’ve been sending regular dishware with the kids and so far, none broken. But this seems like a void for kids and adults alike – how do you create palatable hot lunches with saftey in usability in mind too?
