It’s time to head back to school, and for all those foodie families out there, the typical brown-bagged lunch just doesn’t cut it. Sowe asked one of our favorite food-loving friends, Kimmie Dec from cookinskates.com, what tricks she has.
Kimmie says the family favorite is bento lunches for kids (and adults). You can make them completely litter-free, helping to reduce the amount of cafeteria waste. Other bonus points: You can be really creative with what you mix and match, and you can control portion size to avoid overeating. All Laptop Lunches contain no phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), or lead, so you can feel even better about sending them off with a fun, healthy lunch.
