Lunchbox & picnic food

If your child has a packed lunch at school, it doesn’t mean they have to have sandwiches every day. Likewise for a good picnic, there is plenty of delicious  food that can be prepared fresh at home, and not come packaged, straight from a supermarket fridge. If you have any lunch box or picnic ideas of  your own, we’d love to hear them. Post your recipe here.
