August is winding down (boy, this month went fast!) and this is the week when many people go back to school, and to work, too. We're going to talk about lunches all week, as well as meals that can be prepped ahead of time. This is the time of year to stash some homemade tomato sauce in the freezer, or to prep something nourishing for breakfast at the beginning of the week. Are you going back to school, or to work? What would you like to talk about this week?
What would be helpful to you, as you head back to school and work this week? More snack recipes? Ideas for healthy lunches? Quick dinners?

Quick dinners or dinners that will make good lunch recipes are what I need right now!
what elizabeth said! especially lunchbox recipes for picky vegetarian children in my case!
I've got a little one starting kindergarten and we'll be leaving the house VERY early for our commute. I'll make sure SHE eats breakfast before we hit the door, but mine might need to be eaten at my desk when I get to work. And yeah--lunches, healthy packable snacks, dinners in the fridge...it sure is that time.
My new routine is to make one dish on Sunday that will get me 2 or 3 lunches throughout the week. For example: tuna or chicken salad, a pasta or couscous salad, etc. I go ahead and prepare it in small containers to grab throughout the week.
The other 2-3 days of the week are for dinner leftovers!
I really like to be lazy on Sunday and not spend much time cooking but when I actually stick to this plan it works very well!!
Oops, sorry - to add to my comment above:
So, new recipes for those Sunday fixes (the salads, etc) would be really great!
I would love to see more about cooking for a small family, or for 2. There are only two of us, and sometimes I'm only cooking for myself. It makes for a very boring meal.
I would love if you stopped featuring that bulky tiffin.
Cooking for a small family is definitely a plus
I'm looking for make ahead lunches, or big meals that can be dinner on Sunday, plus lunch on Monday and Tuesday. We are a family of 2, and usually have left-overs, which are great to grab when running out the door Monday morning!
I'm going back to work teaching, so an emphasis on quick breakfasts and packable lunches would be fantastic!
