This month is all about getting back to routines and making lunch is a huge part of that. You don’t need to be packing a lunch every day to suffer from lunch time paralysis—the affliction hits any mom who has to make a lunch every day, day after day, and make it healthy, nutritious and delicious. That’s why we decided to take a bit of a different tack this month and looked for past recipes to inspire moms to serve something that has been prepared already (it’s all about cutting back on the time you spend in the kitchen). We call it cooking efficiently (not ‘leftovers’). For example, a chicken and rice dinner doubles up as a great soup for lunch later that week, cooked pasta from Tuesday night can be covered in cheese and reheated and grilled veggies are perfect in a wrap with hummus or goat cheese. So learn to make a bit extra when you are cooking dinner and you’ll have the foundation for some more interesting lunches to break the routine and the boredom (for you and the kids).
