100+ Easy Lunch Ideas to Save Your Sanity


Hi Reader,

Back-to-school season is here--and with it comes the daily question: What on earth do I pack for lunch?

If you're tired of:

  • Lunchboxes coming home barely touched
  • Spending way too much time (and money) trying to keep things "fun"
  • Running out of ideas by week two…

I've got you covered.

I pulled together 100+ easy, kid-friendly lunch ideas along with:

  • Stress-saving tips (like when to pack lunches to skip the morning scramble)
  • Mix-and-match combos that keep kids full and happy
  • Creative ideas like DIY pizza boxes, make-ahead burritos, and protein-packed snack boxes

No more guessing. No more complicated recipes. Just realistic ideas your kids will actually eat.

Happy Cooking!

Kristen
