Back to school season is upon us and one thing is certain: Whether at home or at school, kids need lunch. To make school day prep simple, we’ve compiled some kid-approved Guided Cooking recipes that pack and store easily. Plus, with the ease of Guided Cooking, your kids can prep along with you for a fun and productive after-school activity.

Hummus roll-ups

Add a spread of tasty Hummus to your student’s preferred bread or wrap, sprinkle on their favorite veggies, then roll it up to make an easy lunch that’s both fun to eat and healthy.

Veggie “pasta” with tomato sauce

Check out our Spaghetti Squash Primavera to turn healthy squash into kid-friendly, fun-to-eat “noodles.” Send it in a thermos for a steaming hot lunch that’ll be the envy of the class.

Chicken in lettuce “boats”

Go ahead and call our Ginger-Hoisin Chicken Lettuce Wraps “boats” and watch the kids dig in. Plus, the hoisin sauce makes this quick chicken recipe delightfully sweet, perfect for persuading picky eaters.

Edamame and dumplings

Shelling our Miso Glazed Edamame is a hands-on task, and we’ve never met a kid that didn’t love playing with their food. Pair with Steamed Pork Dumplings for a filling and fun school lunch.
