KIDS AND FOOD

Quest for the ultimate lunc

OTHING YET In-

vented can match the

convenience of a

sandwich. With the
“lunch season” started up, again,
demand for information on plan-
ning school lunches and snacks is
high. ;

Every year, parenis become
desperate for. a way to make
nutritious-foods delicious and: ap-
pealing to their kids.

My favourite resource is one
called "Lunches ta Go". Its got
lots and Jots of lunch ideas that
kids love: suggesticns from all
over the world. If your lunch im-
aginations get stumped, phone the
Skeena Health Unit for a copy of
“Lunches to Go", °

There’s cool ideas for warmer
days, hol ideas- for cooler days,
and “instead. of. a sandwich"
ideas.
There’s also great suggestions
for packing a safe lunch, to
reduce food poisoning risk.

Fixing lunches ahead-(try after
dinner) and. refrigerating. them
overnight is a.good idea. Freez-
ing a juice tetra-pack is just like
adding a ice block to keep a lunch
cold. Or, if youre packing Meat
sandwiches, you can freeze them
+ they'll be. thawed in time for
lunch, and keep the rest of the
food cool too.

Thermoses (thermi?) are the
only way to keep hot foods hol, If

~ For’a change’ frorh bread, try

rice cakes (try one of the new
flavoured varieties), melba toast
or even bread sticks.
