I love this idea. I modified it a bit for me though because my daughter has free lunch. I only work part time and not always full time. Again thanks.

Every 2 or 3 weeks I sit the kids down for a few minutes and modify my copy of this recipe. We have been using this recipe since the school year started and I really love it. This just takes all the hassle out of school lunches and we don't end up with a bunch of extras in the pantry. Thanks for coming up with this "recipe" - what a great idea.

I love using this recipe for my kid's lunches. Every two or three weeks we sit down together and modify the recipe to mix it up a bit. They love having some input on their lunches and I never have to worry about having the stuff on hand. I use the "work week breakfasts" recipe for the whole family too. We basically don't throw any food away any more because we plan everything so much better than we used to.

This is a great tool for planning lunches. My children like to make their own lunches and I think this will assist them in making suitable lunch choices. Thank you!

Oh, what a great idea!! I've started doing this for my own lunches too, and now it takes me about 10 seconds to plan all of the lunches for the week. I love it.

This recipe is a great example of what makes this site different. For this site you can think of recipes in a couple ways. First, as a set of directions to make a meal. And, second, a way to quickly get a group of ingredients onto your shopping list. With this example a user will only buy what they really need each week. They won't have to try and decide what to make each day. And with just a couple mouse clicks ALL of these items will be added to their shopping list. When you start using my site in this way you will quickly realize how much time it can save you.
