About this Site
This
site is a resource for those who pack lunches every day. I have multiple food
allergies and find that for me, packing a lunch is a necessity. It's an
easier-to-bear necessity when I keep things fun and interesting. I am a lazy
dinner cook, and have found that it's easier to make lunch my main meal of the
day.
Packing a lunch can be a lot cheaper and healthier than buying one while out. Attractive presentation can definitely be a factor in influencing one's diet on a daily basis. When I was tempted by the food court and my only alternative was a crushed peanut butter sandwich in a Ziploc bag, it was a lot harder to resist the lure of the junk food! Since I started packing my own, I am eating less fat and preservatives.
My corn allergy has ruled out a lot of prepared and packaged foods, so I have found a lot of easy make-my-own alternatives for things like pudding mix and canned soup. A small investment in proper containers which allow you to pack such foods without getting them ruined is well worth the effort. I adore my laptop lunchbox, but I have a cheaper Lock and Lock Lunch kit which is more than sufficient, and I use the square container for snacks and small meals. I also have a thermos jar which I use in the winter, and several other bits and pieces I use for other things.
I hope you find my tips and recipes helpful for your own lunches and snacks. Feel free to email me with any tips and suggestions of your own!
