In my book, School Lunches That Make The Grade, I detail the importance of lunch. The transition from summer fun to scholastic studies can be eased by assembling inspirational lunches. Theme lunches are fun. Here is one that I recommend:

“What I Did On My Summer Vacation” Offer chilled Include cauliflower soup, sardines on a bed of romaine lettuce, whole wheat crisps, vegetable compote, hearts of artichokes and a yogurt banana split.
Lunchbox idea: include photos of the summer fun and postcards from recent travels.
