Besides dinners, lunches are super important in our little family. I guess it's just the way I was raised. But during working days we don't get to have lunch all together. Lia and I have lunch at home while J. has his lunch at work. So we tried to get organized the night before and start preparing and packing J's. lunch for the next day.
I know that sometimes it can be challenging to keep organized with lunches and dinners during the week, especially when raising little ones. That's why I put together these healthy and budget-friendly recipes for you. All recipes are vegetarian but very versatile, so feel free to add or substitute with any type of protein of your choice.
