Okay…how did we get to the end of August already? How is it already almost time to go back to school?
Why does summer go so fast and winter goes so slow? And as long as we’re asking questions, what should you pack in your lunchbox if you are gluten free and dairy free?

I can’t answer the first three questions, but I can help out with the last question!
I’ve gathered up twenty-five easy, healthy, and tasty recipes that are perfect for packing in a lunchbox. Whether you are packing lunches for work, or school, or field trips, there are sure to be some recipes here that you’ll love!
This post is for you, but it’s also for me! I needed a little lunchtime inspiration over here as well. When we have to pack a lunch, we tend to turn to the same things again and again. Salmon salad, hummus and crackers, veggies, granola bars…we generally have those on repeat over here.
