Lunch box ideas

When I was a little girl (many moons ago!) I remember carrying a wicker lunch box to school every day. My siblings and I, were brought up having packed lunches; very often bread and fruit, in those days. I guess old habits die hard, because up to this very day, I find it difficult to buy ready-made lunches. I think they’re pricey and not quite to my liking (I know I’m a picky eater!)

Suggestions for your lunch box

And if you think planning is going to take too much time, break it down. Say: pasta on Monday; salad on Tuesday; a wrap on Wednesday; some soup or rice on Thursday; and a bread lunch on Friday.

You do not have to follow a rigid timetable; left-overs from the night before make excellent lunches. When preparing supper, factor in an extra portion which you can either freeze or make use of later on during the week.
