Tips for a healthy lunch box
Always keep these tips in mind when preparing your kids lunch box:
- Choose a reliable lunch box that has a tight seal to keep the food fresh.
- Preparation and Planning is Key! A little thought goes a long way… Try and think /plan the week ahead, so you have the fresh ingredients in for their lunch boxes.
- Make sure to add an ice pack to keep the food cool and safe especially in our weather.
- Don’t pack more than they can eat. Its better to have them eat all their lunch than have them come home with leftovers.
- Keep the lunch healthy. Stay away from chips, chocolate spreads and candies. Make sure their lunches are balanced and contain something from each food group.
- Don’t experiment with food during school days. Always prepare something you know they like. You can even let them help out by recommending certain foods they would prefer.
- Make the lunch box look appealing. Add color and make sure everything is neatly packed and that nothing spills over.
- Make it easy to eat. Bite size sandwiches, wraps and salads are always best. Keep it small and simple.
- Variety is Key! Keep it interesting and mix it up. Don’t keep sending them to school with the same lunch everyday.

Let’s Move!
Last month, Beyonce joined forces with First Lady Michelle Obama to promote the national Let’s Move! campaign, which aims to target childhood obesity. The singer offered up a re-worked version of her hit song, ‘Single Ladies,’ in support of the effort.
Let’s Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by the First Lady, dedicated to solving the problem of obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier. Combining comprehensive strategies with common sense, Let’s Move! is about putting children on the path to a healthy future during their earliest months and years. Giving parents helpful information and fostering environments that support healthy choices. Providing healthier foods in our schools. Ensuring that every family has access to healthy, affordable food. And, helping children become more physically active.
With child obesity and diabetes raising in Kuwait, we definitely need the government, schools and private sectors to get together and create a similar awareness campaign.

Do it delicious in the kitchen
I stumbled on a great website today called Do it delicious. This website is run by Jessica Seinfeld, Author of the New York Times bestseller Double Delicious and Deceptively Delicious and she is also the wife of the ever so funny Jerry Seinfeld. The website is a god send for people like me ( clueless in the kitchen) The idea behind this site was to help her old friend Ally learn to cook. The site is divided into different sections.
Recipes carries simple and easy recipes, they also come with video demonstrations, isn’t that just perfect?!
The Market is a collection of information and products to help new and seasoned cooks, alike. The kitchen guide helps you to learn how to stock your kitchen, decipher food labels, use fresh herbs and more.
Herbs 101 helps you identifiy each herb and tells you how to add it into different meals.
Know thy chicken teaches you difference between organic, free-range, hormone-free and natural chicken.
Know your food label teaches you how to read the labels that come on food so you can make healthier choices for your meals.
You have to add this website to your bookmark. It is simply amazing.
