Simple Lunches for Busy Families

Simple Lunches Cookbook cover

"I can’t stand making lunches!"
"I'm tired of ham and cheese sandwiches, Mom!!"
"Can’t we have pizza pops for lunch? All my friends do..."
"There’s never anything fun for lunch..."

Have you ever had these questions and comments go through your house? I have! That’s why I wrote this book. I wanted to provide some new, fun, simple, easy and healthy ideas and recipes for pack along lunches.

This book provides lots of quick and easy lunch time recipes and many terrific lunch prep tips that I have used over the years that have helped make packing lunches a much easier and much more fun task.

Packing lunches for 6 other people is an overwhelming task which I made much easier by assigning the task to my kids themselves and then providing them with lots of ideas and some assistance along the way too.

Makes a great gift for anyone in your house, not just moms!

It's about time Sue produced a cookbook to share her fabulous food know-how with the rest of us. She has always been generous when friends beg for "the recipe".....now she's extending that to the wider community. Healthy, easy, creative meals and snacks that will quickly become family favourites--thanks, Sue!

I have had the pleasure of enjoying Sue’s cooking and baking on many occasions over the past six years. When she has served appetizers, entrees, sweets, desserts or full course meals, they have always been mouth- watering. I have spent many evenings at Sue’s house where I was supposed to be working on a scrapbook but instead found myself hovering around the snack table for most of the night. The practical recipes she has shared use nutritious (and delicious) ingredients that keep us wanting more. I have used these recipes with my family and my children agree: healthy can taste good. Sue’s recipes also prove that fast food can come from a kitchen, not a drive- through. The helpful preparation tips save time...and she does not even own a microwave.
