Summer lunch-packing tips

Even with school out, most days we still need to get kids out the door with a healthy lunch. And after a school year of lunches, everyone's ready for some new ideas. Here are three quick tips to brighten up summer lunches:

Cantaloupe X and Os: use an alphabet letter cut-out and melon baller to send some x's and o's with lunch

Flatbread cookie cutter sandwiches: smear flatbread or pita full of their favorite topping of jam or hummus or nut butter. Stamp out happy shapes with cookie cutters.

Take a dip: send a bit of ranch dressing or honey in a cute stainless container with a snug lid and they'll dip their way through a mound of veggies or fruit.
