    “Back to School” Series: Eats for Kids (of all ages)

    The phrase “Back to School” sends a shuddering feeling of dread through millions of youngsters everywhere. And hiding under the bed will not stop the first day of school from coming. This fall, a long lineup of groggy students will march their shiny new-school-year shoes back into the classroom. But what foods will be lurking inside that lunchbox???

    Improving Academic Eats. My school days were riddled with a few too many “Lunchables” lunches, icky cafeteria food and homemade peanut butter and apricot jam sandwiches with a side of sour Gushers or Garfield brand fruit snacks. The cafeteria lunch-hour was not the healthiest of times for most kids I knew. Luckily, my mom balanced out the ‘school-yard junk’ by cooking my family healthy California cuisine dinners. But what are kids eating today? Much of the same? Is it worse? Is it getting better? I dread to think what some kids have hiding in their backpacks next to their science book and gym socks. Well I’m here to help. My latest month-long series is: “Back to School” Series: Eats for Kids (of all ages). Whether you are five or fifty, you’ll get a kick out of these yummy, creative and simple recipes. Click ahead for the full schedule of posts for this upcoming series….
