Her Story: Toddlers are fussy eaters and I feel blessed to have One :-D. My Daughter is a Preschooler who is very Choosy; so I have to make sure to prepare something that fills her hungry stomach at school keeping in mind she will like what I send for Tiffin. One thing I’ve learnt in her six months of Preschooling is that irrespective of what fuss they create at home; they are much decent eaters at School. This is the right time that you can introduce new Foods and Spices (if you haven’t already). Mine is a “Mummy Mirchi” types Girl so I add a pinch of Spice to whatever I prepare so that she starts eating food that includes Spices too apart from just Salt. Most Schools have already begun and it’s time to get busy racking brains about what to fill in the lunchboxes again! We need to make sure of keeping the lunchbox interesting and nutritious at the same time, without having to spend hours in the kitchen for this purpose. Listing down few Lunch Box recipes I do for my close to 3 year old Princess.

Hope you enjoyed her simple yet healthy choice for tiffins :)!
