Who said home packed lunches had to be boring?
With great ideas like a pizza sandwich or turkey-cucumber pita and you’ll never want to eat out again! Check out recipes for everyday of the week from Kraft. These look so good that I think I’m going to try something out for dinner tonight.
Take-Along Tips from Kraft:
Buy gel packs and an insulated bag to keep food cold.

Round out midday menus with fruits and veggies.
Don’t forget to pack some crackers to go with salads.
Buy small containers for condiments and dips.
Always leaders in dietary excellence, Burger King has come out with a new kids’ menu. The menu consists of three different meals, each of which is supposed to be lower in fact, sodium, and have fewer than 560 calories. Here is a list of the meals, taken from the Burger King website:
* Hamburger with BKTM Fresh Apple Fries, low-fat caramel dipping sauce and calcium-fortified MINUTE MAID® Apple Juice;
* New BK BURGER SHOTS® with BKTM Fresh Apple Fries, low-fat caramel dipping sauce and calcium-fortified MINUTE MAID® Apple Juice; and
* 4-pce CHICKEN TENDERS® (reformulated to be reduced-sodium) with BKTM Fresh Apple Fries, low-fat caramel dipping sauce and HERSHEY’S® Fat Free White Milk.
Each of the meals is supposed to get no more than 30 per cent of its calories from fat, and 10 per cent from added sugars. There also must be less than 600 milligrams of sodium.
