I’m always on the hunt for kids lunch ideas that are 1) healthy 2) a little bit of fun 3) ridiculously easy and require little effort. These homemade fluffernutter uncrustables do the job. As much as I’d love to pack the kids a special curated box of hand crafted treats, the truth is, I usually […]
