User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Too much mayo and chicken
I bought this book based on some reviews that I have read. I found it to be okay. It gave me a few new ideas for lunches. A lot of the recipes call for mayo, ketchup or chicken. Overall, I think the recipes are fairly simple and kid friendly.

3 Stars Good ideas but no always practical
This book is filled with some creative ides. However, This book is not for my picky eaters!! Hopefully someday we’ll be able to get the picky-eaters to be open to new foods. Also some recipes was just not practical. Over all I am glad to have this book for future use.

5 Stars Give new life to your lunchbox
I am not the most creative person when it comes to packed lunches, but this book makes it easy! Many ingredients are easily found, and likely to be in your fridge or pantry already. Many you can make with leftover foods such as cooked chicken, or the 2 tablespoons of corn left over from dinner. Most are items my daughter will readily eat without complaint. For health reasons, we decided to stop eating cafeteria food and started packing our own. I ran out of ideas rather quickly and knew we had to break away from PB&J, so I ordered this book. What’s great it that it’s “adult friendly” too. No smiley face sandwiches or mac and cheese here…just healthy food made easy. Our kiddo is now the envy of the lunch room!

5 Stars Perfect Ideas!
This book is filled with lunches suitable for adults. Some are too intricate for children.

5 Stars Excellent creative guide to packing lunch on the go!
Lunch Boxes and Snacks: Over 120 healthy recipes from delicious sandwhiches and salads to hot soups and sweet treats is a great guide for the end of boredom at school and at work. Everything here is packable, nutritious and wonderfully good-tasting.

The book includes information on how to keep food safe after it leaves your refrigerator and how to involve kids in the selection and process.

But, be advised that it is great for adults also. We get bored with everyday same-old same-old, too!

I purchased this book on a whim while food-shopping at a mega-market. I flipped through it over coffee and went right back to the aisles for some immediate meal transformations.

I don’t regret purchasing it!
