Feeding Tiny Bellies: School Lunches

100+ simple and creative lunch box recipes for kids, from Lily Payen, author of Feeding Tiny BelliesOne day you’re getting ready to feed your little one solids for the first time, and in the blink of an eye, it’s time to send them off to school. It’s an exciting milestone, but transitioning from planning meals and snacks at home to packing and sending daily lunchboxes can be daunting. In School-Ready Tiny Bellies, Lily Payen, mom of four and creator of Feeding Tiny Bellies, is here to take the guesswork out of packing lunches. She shares her recipes for nourishing meals that use everyday pantry staples, are easy to prepare, and are realistic for a parent’s busy schedule. With filling “brunch box” recipes (Everything Bagel Bites), DIY Lunchables-inspired copycats (Pizza Lunchables), comforting warm lunches (Broccoli and Cheese Soup), creative sandwiches (Tuna Salad Sandwich Bites), and satisfying after-school snacks (Copycat Cosmic Brownies), you’ll never be in a peanut butter and jelly rut again.
