Lunchbox Days are back, and we can help! 🎉


Hello Reader,

The lunchbox shuffle is back! Keeping meals fun, balanced, and not boring can be a challenge once the school year kicks in.

I’ve rounded up recipes and ideas that are packable and kid-approved, without adding more stress to your days.

I share my picks with a special section featuring friends' recipes. Who knows, you might find new favorites 🎉

My picks

Stacked rows of chicken taquitos on a wooden board. Halved ground beef empanada on top of whole ones.

Baked taquitos are a sure hit!

Empanadas (beef handpies) are a lifesaver that can be made ahead.

Leftover rice or risotto? Make easy risotto cakes!

A classic sandwich that packs well.

Classic sausage rolls everyone loves!

Pile of chicken fritters. Lentil vegetable burger on sesame bun. White plate.

You can't go wrong with fritters.

Veggie grain burgers for a vegetarian option.

Shepherd's pie is perfect to freeze and portion as needed.

This quick pork stir-fry with rice can be prepped ahead.

School meals from my friends

Hearty chicken egg salad.

Hummus with a twist.

Pizza flavors and puff pastry!

Cook a whole chicken and prep several meals.

Unique take on sloppy joes!

A fantastic chicken casserole.
