Have I ever mentioned that I love to cook? I am getting better at it too! I am no chef, but my cooking skills are really improving. Or maybe it is just the fact that I am trying more “complicated recipes”. I used to stay away from those recipes with long ingredient lists and directions. I used to think that easy and fast was the way to go. Now, I like to take my time and create home cooked meals from scratch. Since I love to cook and I love books, you can probably take a guess that I love cookbooks. I have quite the collection and I cherish every one of them. This mom can never have enough cookbooks in this home.
Since I have children, I am responsible for what they eat. What they eat now can effect them later down the road and that is something that I think about often. While I want to be the “cool mom” and send my kids off to school with fancy pre-packaged foods and fruit box drinks full of sugar, I don’t. I admit that I will on occasion as a treat, but I am trying to send them off with more healthy choices. Last year the school district did a complete makeover on their menu and also have more healthy choices.
I recently had the opportunity to read a cool little cookbook called Lunchbox Love. This is a short but sweet book that has over 60 delicious and healthy lunch recipes your family will love and ask you to make it again. In addition to the healthy recipes, you will also find some interesting lunch packing tips and facts that you might not have known and could use.
Here are just a few of my FAVORITE recipes:
- Pumpkin Loaf – YUMMY
- Calzones
- Freezer Burritos
- Tortilla Pizzas – kids love this one!
About The Author: A mom who knew at an early age that being a mom was going to be her passion. She enjoyed having a successful career as a hairdresser, but having children was the icing on her cake. Her youngest son developed anaphylaxis to peanuts and reading food labels became something she had to do to prevent her son from eating anything that could risk his life. She then used her knowledge that she had gained from reading everything she could find, to create this awesome little healthy recipe book!

That sounds like a great cookbook. I really struggle with finding healthy lunch foods that my kids will eat. I need to check it out!
I always struggle with healthy lunchbox meals! I’ll have to check out this cookbook!
The Pumpkin Loaf sounds amazing! I am going to look into this..but in the meantime, would you like to make a pumpkin loaf for me??
Oh yum! I’d love to try the pumpkin loaf. I love books like this – sometimes I pack a lunch for my fiance when he goes on the road for jobs.
I’m going to have to pick it up just for the Calzone recipe. The pumpkin loaf sounds just about right for this time of year too.
I’m always looking for good new cookbooks, thanks!
Wow, sounds like a great cookbook! I love to have more recipes and ideas for my son!
