Back to School in Style

It's that time of year again- time for school. Luckily, most of us have graduated, but our kids haven't. So, how do you get kids excited for school? With a great lunch, that's how!

Kids can be hard to please, but we think they'll love these lunch options because they feature kid-friendly foods with a little extra flavor and excitement. Show your kids that you like these dishes and they'll want to try them too.

To fill your week with kid-friendly lunches, we revved up the FoodPair Recipe Search Engine and found a handful of great recipes from across the Web.
