Highlights: Back to School (Part 4)

Published on September 8, 2013 By Emily. Updated on September 8, 2013

Hard to believe it’s time once again for my annual Back to School Highlights post.  From what I can tell from my first few days back in the classroom so far this year it looks like it’s going to be a good one.

I feel like I’m constantly on the search for a nutritious, filling, fast breakfast.  Overnight oats are one option, as detailed on The Kitchn.  There’s also a post looking for on-the-go breakfast suggestions with some good ideas in the comments.

The Washington Post has useful guidelines regarding what to consider when shopping for packaged breakfasts.

Fooducate suggests that if you’re Stumped for Lunchbox Ideas, Try These Two Yummy Recipes

There are some really neat suggestions in Apartment Therapy’s round up of the Best Kids Lunch Bags and Boxes.

The LA Times has 10 ideas for simple, delicious school lunches for kids (or adults!)

Popular Science explored the data about whether kids eat more vegetables when schools serve healthier lunches.

7 ways to turn leftovers into lunch from The Kitchn

I am thrilled to see that there are 41 comments on The Kitchn post asking readers for their favorite vegetarian and dairy-free sandwiches.  So many great ideas!

The Ultimate 4-Layer Vegan Sandwich from Oh She Glows looks pretty amazing as well.

Homemade lunchbox chicken nuggets on Simple Bites seems like they’d please many kids (and adults!)

Cooking Light also has a collection of healthy lunch ideas.

Serious Eats suggests filling your lunch box with Spaghetti With Arugula Jalapeno Pesto and Zucchini.  Sounds good to me!

After school can be just as challenging as lunch.  Check out these suggestions of 7 Tasty Packaged Snacks for Kids from Real Simple.

Or check out this list of 30 allergy friendly snack ideas from Life Your Way

I’m feeling like these Back-to-School Granola Bars are going to happen in my kitchen really soon.  They look incredible! (via Kitchen Vignettes)

Despite all these links, I can always use more ideas.  Any great suggestions?

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
