Written By Praveena Gudipati on Friday, April 17, 2015 | 11:29 AM

What's going in your kids lunch box. Ask yourself is it healthy, is it nutritious and most important does your kid like it. Say yes to all three, there you pass the international lunch box test :-).

Imagine a lunch box coming home empty, we will feel like we are on top of mount Everest.But it might not be possible all the time.Having two picky eaters at home I always think and come up with recipes incorporating healthy stuff, modifying traditional recipes.I would love to share those recipes with you. All these lunch ideas are my kids approved and nutritious/healthy in my perspective.

My usual way of packing a lunch box is pack a main entree with one or two sides which usually would be fruits or veggies.Once in a while I pamper him with cookies or chips:-).

So here are my 2 weeks worth of lunch box Ideas.each recipe has a link which will take you to the posted recipe. I also included a altogether basic ingredient list for whole 2 weeks. Along with these you need usual indian spices and seasonings like Chilli powder, salt, oil, mustard seeds etc.

Along with the main entree, pack lunch sides, you can check out in my post 'kids snacks/ Lunch sides'.Also shuffle recipes according to your convenience.

I plan to post more to make it lunch box recipes for a month.May be soon:-).
