It’s that time again, when we rack our brains to come up with healthy lunches for our school-age kids that are so appealing they won’t trade with their friends for Twinkies.

Over the years we have collected a lot of tasty, nourishing lunch ideas–and most of them really save time, too. They’re kid-tested and parent-approved, and if you don’t have children, they make great brown-bag bring-alongs for the office. Get inspired with these delicious ideas for sandwiches, snacks, and more right here.
