		<description>My favorite tip for a healthy lunch is packing it in a bento box, therefore ensuring the portion sizes are healthy and not super!sized.</description>

		<description>Just today my daughter asked for pb&amp;j (made healthier with smucker&#039;s  or jif  natural peanut butter and smucker&#039;s no sugar added jelly).  I usually cut it in a shape;  flower, heart. But today she said &quot;Leave it whole&quot;.  I admit, I was a little sad.  Second graders are so grown up.</description>

		<description>My favorite way to make lunch fun? Bento boxes. The Japanese do crazy things with their lunch boxes, and I try some of them out. Take apple slices, cut a V pointing toward the end of the apple slice and slice off the peel below it, also cutting below the points of the V. Soak in a little bowl of water with some lemon juice and you get &quot;ringo usagi&quot; or &quot;apple bunnies&quot;. I usually add a mini tub of caramel or peanut butter. Take mini hot dogs and cut about halfway up into 8 sections to make &quot;legs&quot;. Boil or microwave to make &quot;tako weiners&quot; or &quot;octopus weiners&quot;. Serve with ketchup or mustard. I also like to make an egg dish called tamagoyaki. It isn&#039;t exactly authentic because dashi stock is difficult to come by where I live, but take about 3 eggs, add a 1/4 cup of water, a tbsp. of soy sauce, and a tbsp. of sugar. Mix. In a hot greased frying pan, add about 1/3 of the mixture. Let it cook through a bit and roll it into a log and push off to the side. Add another 1/3, let it cook pretty much through, and roll your &quot;log&quot; back through to add layers. Do this with the final bit as well. (Make sure you lift the &quot;log&quot; a bit so the fresh mix gets under the cooked bits.) When it&#039;s all done, transfer it to a cutting board and let it cool most of the way. Slice in 1-inch sections and pack away. It&#039;s really delicious, somewhat sweet, and great with something kind of salty like teriyaki chicken.

Fruits and veggies prepared in fun ways often help quite a bit. I often will take potatos and carrots and boil them until they&#039;re practically mush. I add a bit of rice flour and mix them until they&#039;re somewhat stiff. I make lumpy balls with them, add a leftover apple stem to the top, and bake them until they&#039;re somewhat stiff. They look like mini-pumpkins and are great in the fall and winter. 

Still, there are FAST healthy options, too, like fruit and apple sauce cups, and even things like Chef Boyardee are okay now and again. I like to make my own snack-size versions of things, and sometimes experiment with well-known recipes. Even my husband loves it when I make Fruity Pebble treats with some real dried fruit mixed in. I can&#039;t keep them in the house!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve learned that if you include the children in the preparation part of lunch packing, they are more likely to eat it.  We spend time putting fresh fruit and veggies in little reuseable bowls and I let them pick out cookie cutters to make their sandwiches fun to eat!</description>
