Yes. I completely redesigned the guide in August 2020 to adapt to the various situations we’re now in, whether that means your kids are home, or at school/daycare, and even if they’re no longer allowed to bring reusable items…(not sure why that has become a rule some places, but it has. Shrug.) I also added a budget-friendly section to help you find the least expensive healthy items at the store.
Yes, the guide is overflowing with nut-free solutions. 🙂 I share my favorite alternatives to peanut butter, and lots of sandwich-free ideas, too.
Ages 1 and up – they should be able to eat a variety of solid foods. But all the recommendations in the guide take into account the needs of toddlers – like avoiding choking hazards. Some parents ask me if this guide is helpful for older school age children, and the answer is yes! This would be a great way to get them more involved in packing their lunches, especially by using the “throw and go” sheet as a guide.
Only if you want to. The majority of the ideas I suggest don’t involve any cooking, though you can use dinner leftovers in lunches, or cook something to serve a few times during the week for lunches. There’s a “Minimal Prep” section of the guide where I list some of my favorite lunch ideas for when you have the time & feel like cooking something.
I’ll cover that! The guide has ideas to help you whether or not you’re able to send an ice pack to keep things cool.
