Great ideas for lunch boxes - yours and theirs

With kids settling in to a new school year, we thought we’d list a couple of our favorite lunch box-approved recipes. All the recipes below are healthy, delicious, and can be fully or partially prepared the night before. We also think they’re pretty good lunch options for big kids, too!

Albacore Pasta Salad: We like this one from British chef, Nigella Lawson. It sneaks in a serve or two of veggies.

Albacore Lettuce Cups: Make your favorite tuna salad recipe and put in a container, you can add other sliced vegetables or cheese. Separately, wrap 4 large lettuce leaves (iceburg or cos lettuce work well). At lunchtime kids can make their own tuna wraps. Don't forget a fork and napkin.

Albacore and Artichoke Sandwich: A twist on a classic. http://www.scribd.com/doc/60331934/Cooking-With-Albacore-Albacore

Pan Bagnat (French Tuna Sandwich): http://www.scribd.com/doc/59546975/Cooking-With-Albacore-Pan-Bagnat

Albacore Patties: Usually served hot, these healthy patties are delicious cold, as lunch the next day. http://www.scribd.com/doc/56966421/Cooking-With-Albacore-Albacore-Patties
