Looking for lunch time recipes? Here you can find the recipes ranging from home lunch to school or work lunch as well. I also love to share hot lunch ideas for school and work. When my kids started school, I was determined to pack them healthy, nutritious and satisfying lunches. After serving them everyday lunch, by this time, I have learned a lot what to pack and what not for them. Sometimes, It takes several experiments to figure out what really they would love to eat at school. We as a grown up can compromise but kids don’t. I am happy that my kids are not complaining about lunch box food at all as I pack them with extra care. I strongly recommend to keep seasons in mind, such as in summer, I mostly pack them cold food and in winter hot food. Everyday, I ask them for their next day’s lunch menu and if they don’t come up with their ideas, I just go ahead and involve them in deciding what they want by giving them some options and it works really great. By the way, I have two growing kids and both of them have totally different tastebuds and so most of the time, I end up making two different things for them. So here you will find lot of ideas, trick and tips.
