I was pleasantly surprised when I purchased Super Easy Bag Lunches by Maxine Sprague. It's not just a book with bag lunch recipes and ideas. Starting with the the history of the Lunch Box, Maxine then gives us tips for the picky eater, organization and time saving shortcuts, safety practices for food preparation and ways to keep our lunches environmentally friendly including a section on composting. The recipe section is great. My kids especially like the recipe for Cowboy Cookies. If you have a family and are presently making lunches, this book is a must.

Maxine Sprague has done a fabulous job on this book. I was so impressed with it that I used it as a school fund raiser. My favorite sections of the book were "Time Saving Tips" (I never knew you could make sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them!) and "Lunch Box Smiles". I find myself going back to the book again and again for creative ideas and tips. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to make bag lunches -- especially for children. You won't be disappointed.

My kids and I have had so much fun with this book! It's full of great organization ideas, composting tips, and wonderful recipes (i.e. Chocolate Pecan Turtles), but my favorite chapter is "Perk It Up"! My kids can't wait to check out their lunches to find the love messages on their orange, the Riddle Smile, the Cardboard Tube Surprise or any other of the hundred of fun, simple "Perk It Up" lunch ideas! Great Book!!

This book is very useful for people who have to take their lunch every day, like me! It has really good recipes and ideas that make lunch time a lot more interesting.

"Super Easy Bag Lunches" by Maxine Sprague is the book every busy parent has been waiting for. The attractive, 156-page spiral-bound book is packed full of creative ideas for promoting a healthy food attitude, time-saving shortcuts, getting the whole family involved, safety practices, and perking up the bag lunches with treats, riddles, and fun food snacks. The book even contains an easy-to-follow pattern for making your own environment-friendly cloth lunch bag. The latter part of the book contains recipes that are quick to prepare and are sure to be kid-pleasers. Don't start the school year without it.

This book looks like it will help me with preparing lunches for my girls. Lots of options, lots of tips and ideas for streamlining everything in the kitchen.

LOVED this book so much that we used it in our Health and Nutrition area. Many of our moms have written in saying they used many of the successful ideas. I, for one, used one of the more interresting ideas and I wrote my daughter a joke in her lunch. She read it to her teacher and the whole class...problem is...then they wanted MORE! So now I make one up every week or so. The book is extemely practical and highly recommended by US!

Maxine Sprague's Super Easy Bag Lunches is a tremendous resource for all parents. From picky eaters, to cooking with the kids, this book offers practical, insightful and fun advice for both parents and children!
