Think outside the PB&J box for school lunches
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Making school lunches every day for your kids can end up being an overwhelming task to think outside the PB&J box.
So first things first, come up with a menu.
Change it up by offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, not just carrots.
Think snap peas, green beans, and cucumber.
Sandwiches can be changed up by offering tortilla wraps, crackers, or lettuce wrap options.
