Schools back next week here in Queensland. Soon I will be creating my shopping list for our weekly shop which will include lunch box food to restock the pantry and freezer. Over the past week I have been stocking the freezer with some biscuits and muffins, they are always good to have on hand.
Below I have shared with you some of my favourite lunchbox ideas I have published on the blog over the past few years.

Lunchbox ideas for the kids
FREEZEABLE COOKIES – These cookies would have to be my go to recipe when I want to make a really big batch of cookies to freeze, this recipe can make up to a 100 bite sized biscuits. I split the batter into 3 or 4 and flavour each differently.

HOMEMADE SHREDDED CHICKEN – My kids love chicken sandwiches, but buying a BBQ chook often can get expensive. My method of making my own chicken is quick, easy and very inexpensive.

HOT LUNCHES – it’s getting cooler now and soon the kids will be wanting some warmer food in their lunchbox. The kids love having something in their thermos, keeps them warm at lunch time, plus it is something fun and different to the typical sandwiches I give them.
