15 lunch box ideas
Written by Jayashree

Preparing the lunch for the office or school is one of the prominent work that we have on daily basis. Oh! It is a dilemma to decide the dish  daily. This “X” dish does not taste good in the box, “Y”  dish is liked by one child, while the other detests, are some of the cribbings we often hear. Somehow, we have learnt to balance things.  Here are 15 lunch box ideas that you can use on a daily basis.  I usually packed chapati and sabzi. Rice had to be some kind of prepared dish, not the usual dal or rasam. Do take a peep below.

Providing a good food to the family is our duty. They trust and eat whatever we provide. Make the right choices of what you give commonly to your children. Inculcate the habit to eat fruits on a daily basis, children need to be told many times.
