Exciting School Lunch Ideas
Earlier this week I had reason to drop by my grandsons' school at lunch time. While waiting for the boys outside the office, I was appalled to see several students throw their lunches into the trash can. Several questions ran through my mind. What would their parents say if they knew the kids lunches were going in the garbage? What were these kids going to eat? How could the kids learn if they didn't have the proper nutrition?
Of course parents have no way of knowing if kids are eating their lunch. However, there are a few tricks that a parent can use to make school lunches more appealing.

Ingredients
Method
Assemble as follows:
Cheese cube, ham square, pineapple chunk.
Kids will love these. Different fruit and a variety of cheeses can be used. Tofu can be substituted for cheese, if desired.
Make your child's school lunches something to look forward to. There's no guarantee that your child will eat his lunch no matter what is in it. However, if it is appealing chances are it will not find its way to the trash can.
