It’s almost time for kids to head back to school. To save your children from the unhygienic food that cafeterias in schools serve, you must pack some lunch for them before school. Of course, plain egg sandwiches won’t keep them for long so you’ll have to do better on the lunches to keep them from that unhealthy food. We’ve made a list of ‘back to school’ lunches that most of the mom’s voted on. They are not only healthy, but also taste delicious. Prepare these for your kids and watch them love home-made lunches more than ever:

Being a Pakistani, food has always been my comforter, be it me getting happy over a happy meal or my father asking me to go to school just to get sweets in return. Food is not just about eating, its a sentiment that connects people with each other. I started writing for Food Tribune because of my love for food.
