When I pack my kids a lunch, if I know I am going to be out all day, I pack myself a lunch, too. Whether for a play date, a trip to the library or museum, everyone gets hungry! Why should the kids be the only ones that get to eat good food?
I often see parents buying whatever they have in the "museum cafe" or just picking at what their little ones have left behind. (How many times have you had PB&J crust for lunch?) This is no way to sustain your day! Moms and dads, I'm here to tell you that you can enjoy, too, without a lot of work.
My go-to is to put a big pile of lettuce in a to-go container and put last night's leftovers on top. You can turn anything into a salad and it's no work at all because you already cooked last night.
Yesterday, I made something new, specifically to keep in the refrigerator for a quick lunch during the week. It is seasonal, fresh and delicious. Wherever you are, I imagine you can get these same ingredients from your farmer's market right now.
