Reinvent the sandwich in your kid’s lunchbox with these Cucumber Sushi Rolls. A sandwich filling surrounded by a cucumber “roll,” this fun lunch idea is perfect for the dipping. My Dairy Free Ranch Dressing would be perfect for taking a dive into. Now of course you’re not going to be making lunches like these everyday but for those special occasions when you want to do something different and a little fun, these Cucumber Sushi Rolls are a creative way to serve a sandwich to your little one. And since we are always trying to find ways to serve veggies to our kids, why not use cucumbers instead of bread? Or instead of rice, really.…

Give Taco Tuesday a kid-friendly lunchbox spin by turning an average sandwich into unique Hummus and Veggie Sandwich Tacos! A loaded sandwich you can hold with one hand, this lunchbox idea is stuffed with tons of fresh veggies, lettuce, avocado, cheese and of course, a nice slather of roasted bell pepper Sabra hummus. The “tacos” part is of course in quotes because these aren’t tortillas; it’s just a fun way to reinvent the way you see bread and your kid’s lunch. As a mom myself, I get that parents don’t have a lot of time to make elaborate lunches to send their kids to school with. Though a lot of the food I…

People are consistently asking me what I feed my little man (who is now 20 months old, can you believe it?!) and whether or not I am making my cute food art for him. The truth is that this can be a really tricky topic for me (and no, I do not make the food art for my son…yet. I’m just lucky if I can get him to eat some form of protein). I will try cute food later but for now I just want to get him into the basics, which means I deeply rely on great snacks options to get him the nutrients he needs. And now that I am living…

We are big car lovers in this family (and by “we” I of course mean my toddler son). I just simply provide all the sound effects, horn-tooting, and screeching halt noises with my mouth while playing cars with him. We go EVERYWHERE with either a truck, bus, or car in hand. There is no way we are walking out the front door with at least one! So as a way to give my son a snack that he would actually LOVE, I thought why not create these Fruit and Veggie Car Snacks for the Super Simple blog as part of my monthly contribution this summer? Who knows, maybe, just maybe I have figured out…
