Great Lunch Packing Resource for Busy Moms!

Brown Bag Success, written by Sandra Nissenberg and Barbara Pearl (both registered dieticians), contains great tips for packing lunches safely, how to make healthy food selections, how to be creative so the lunches will be more fun for your children to eat and how to even get them to help prepare the lunches... as well as a 4-week menu with great recipes! Although I do not feel this book is for the family who doesn't have any trouble packing a great variety of healthy lunches every month, it would definitely be a great help for families (and moms!) who are stuck on packing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with chips and an apple, day after day! It's also for those very special moms who are so busy and have no clue what to pack that they often give in to purchasing those cute little prepackaged lunches that cost a small fortune. Brown Bag Success is a great little book, we're going to try making the homemade tortilla chips next! Also, out of the twenty planned lunches that are featured in the 4-week menu, only a handful of them include peanut butter. If your child is allergic to nuts you can easily substitute items from the other menu suggestions, there are plenty of creative ideas here! - Michelle Jones, Founder of BetterBudgeting.com

Found it very useful

I first checked this book out at my local library. I found enough information in it to be worth a trip to Amazon to order my own copy. None of the information was particularly "new" to me, but it's a great all-in-one source to help me with what I need. I've recommended it to several other mom's around me too.

I have to agree that there are too many recipes for peanut butter in this given the current level of allergies in our schools but there are also plenty of other options in the book that more than make up for that. It is also a nice way to varry the pb&j when my children are at home with me. There is enough here to help me add variety for my children and to even make some good lunches for my husband. I found the book to be very down to earth and practical for real people.

Covers it all!

This is a must-have book. It will provide you with everything you need: useful, simple recipes that kids will actually eat, simple nutritional information, organizational tips, and tips and tricks for making the meal fun and getting your kids to eat the food you'd like them to eat. Honestly, this book is so practical. It's been the most bang I've gotten for a buck in a long time!
