  1. What great ideas!! I wish lunch programs were more health conscious. I don’t have school children needing a healthy lunch anymore but if I did I would sure use these ideas instead of the school lunches. (My baby is going to be a senior this year. She thinks she’s too old to eat in the cafeteria. Lol.)

  2. We’re actually doing gluten-free for our son this summer to see if it might improve his health. This is coming in very handy! Love the celery and wrap ideas.

  3. Tracey- Thanks so much for sharing my Bento box lunch post! The muffins are actually grain-free, but gluten free crackers work great too!
