Kids Summer Lunches

7/18/2012

Summer lunches for kids can be tricky. They can get tired of the same things, it's hot, and we are often on the go or packing lunch for a picnic or afternoon at the pool. This is where Applegate Farms products are a big help. My kids have been eating hoagies (or subs as some of you may call them!) made with their natural roasted turkey breast all summer. My daughter also likes the natural pepperoni and I picked up the turkey salami today to have them try. I love the fact that their cold cuts are free of nitrites and antibiotics and come neatly packaged (they can even be frozen), plus they taste great and come in organic versions too. (I am fond of their Organic Andouille Sausage, but it is a little too spicy for the kids, so my husband and I enjoy as part of a nice bean stew, a hearty cold-weather meal).
Kasanof's sub rolls made by Vermont Bread Company are great, as well as Whole Foods brand. My son likes Horizon cheddar cheese on his hoagie, and for my daughter I slip in some fresh tomato and romaine lettuce. Combine this with some Popcorners Chips or Kettle Potato chips and some fruit, and viola - lunch at home or on the go!

    So much of our history can be learned through food!
    My second book, The Thousand Dollar Dinner, follows the unique story of a luxurious 17-course feast that helped launch the era of grand banquets in nineteenth century America. I am also the author of Mrs Goodfellow: The Story of America's First Cooking School.
