Hey Melissa

Great article. One suggestion is could we have a shopping list to make it easier?

In reply to Emma. You can rub a slice of lemon over them, but they do get a little brown!

Love those ideas! Curious – how do you keep the banana in the banana sushi from browning by lunch time?

I’m going to attempt this and I will keep track of costs per box

In reply to Michelle. Not all my kids love all the things, that's for sure. But I'm always willing to see what they do and don't like.

Great ideas! Thank you! I want to mention that I have read that apple seeds have something in them that converts to cyanide when crushed or chewed. You may want to look into it!

Thanks again for the post!

You are so lucky your children will eat the food that you put in the lunch boxes and are not picky eaters. I feel bad for parents whose children won’t even try some foods.

They look delicious and colorful too.

In reply to Patty. Cutest idea ever! I can't wait to try this. It's great for make-ahead busy mornings too. Ooohh I just love when you share what's worked for you, it's so helpful!

Some fun ideas here; thanks for sharing.
I want to tell you something that might make one of these just a tiny bit simpler. I make “pancakes” in mini muffin tins, and when mixing the batter, I add a healthy shot of pure maple syrup. I often put a little cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage into the tin, then pour in the batter, but you might not want meat in a lunch box with no refrigeration. Bake at 325-350 for about 12-18 minutes, and they are done. (Toothpick test them.) Your kids won’t have to deal with sticky syrup and they get the full flavor. I often make these for church hospitality snacks, and they are very well received.
