Lunch box love

The good news is you can easily put together items that are tasty and good for your kids. Here are some lunch box ideas to try:

• Leftover roast vegetables such as potato, pumpkin or kumara - a hot favourite even when cold
• Corn on the cob - did you know you can cook it in the microwave?
• Leftover fritters - there are lots of quick recipes on this site (search for fritters)
• Stuffed pita pockets - use your favourite combination of fillings
• Mini pasta frittatas - easy and really tasty
• Mini meat loaves or Meatballs - extra tasty when put inside a bread roll
• Pita bread pizzas - always popular
• Pinwheel rolls - make these on Sunday ready for Monday's lunch box.
