If you are looking for more brown bag options, check out this post here. There are also more menu’s on Org Junkie’s blog here, although most of them are NOT gluten free. And happy back to school week to you!
I definitely struggle with what to pack for my son’s gluten free lunch. Variety is hard that is for sure.
Have a great week!
Thanks for stopping by. I have to admit I feel a little starstruck.
Your MPM linkups are the 2nd highest traffic generators for me. Thanks a ton I hope that my little journal here can help other GF Moms.
BTW, I saw your gf recipe the other day and thought that it was nice of you to post gf stuff. I had no idea your son was celiac too. Thanks again!
