Welcome to YTF Community, a place to safely share in the challenges and joys of feeding our families. And make all of it easier!

Welcome to the recurring series where I share a look at what I actually served during a random week. And since the internet is FULL of cute, often unrealistic kids lunches, here are some real life ones that work well for summer—in the hopes they give you some easy ideas for your kids, too.

Thank you very much for all your recipes! I find them very easy and helpful!
Thank you for this! Iโm currently struggling with/stressing out over what to put in my 20-month old daughterโs lunchbox (sheโs being a bit more selective about what sheโll eat these days, resorting to mac and cheese or air most days). This was a great reminder that some pancakes and yogurt (two things she is currently into) = a great lunch. No need to fuss or try to create some savory option that she doesnโt want.
It can be so hard and I hope the yogurt and pancake options are useful!
