Do you remember the days when the lunch bell rang, signaling the excitement of discovering the treasures hidden in your lunch box? Join me as I take a trip down memory lane, revisiting some items—some I’d rather forget—and the iconic snacks and treats that fueled my childhood adventures and satisfied my youthful cravings.
As a kid, I rarely took my lunch and instead ate school-provided lunches. My kids are continuing the tradition by buying their lunches as well. My favorite school lunch item was pizza, but I never enjoyed Jell-O with fruit.
The ultimate school lunch menu should feature items kids want and enjoy but with added nutrients. My secret to creating the perfect lunchbox is to include a little candy bar for a sweet treat while ensuring a balance between healthy and junk food. It’s also important to include something from each food group.
I’d love to see chicken and waffles for a breakfast box, and for a dinner box, I’d include a fun twist on soul food.
Even though we’ve traded our lunch boxes for grown-up alternatives and our tastes have evolved, the nostalgia of those beloved treats still reminds us of the innocence and delight of youth. I hope you can find some classic favorites and discover new tempting treats every time you visit The Parkway Senior Living Bistro or Country Kitchen and that you never stop making culinary memories.
