LUNCHBOX
Today is the first day of National School Lunch Week, and if the idea of the elementary school cafeteria conjures memories of mystery meat and ladies in hair nets, turn the tables and learn to make lunches that are as tasty as they are nutritious. The Healthy Kids’ Catalog offers “The Visual Guide: How to Make a Healthy Lunch for Kids,” a 90-minute guide to creating fruit and vegetable dishes, using leftovers, and making kid-friendly sandwiches, wraps and pitas. The DVD and a recipe booklet are $19.99 at at healthykidscatalog.com.
