A Kid-Friendly Pesto Recipe To Sneak Greens Into Their Lunchbox

Mysteriously, mom life doesn't slow down in the slightest when kids go back to school. Fast and healthy food ideas can make a huge difference in our daily schedules and condiments - like a great pesto recipe - can make all the difference. (Do pesto, hummus and guac even qualify as condiments when we can eat them by the spoonful? A question for another day.)

Pesto, made with power-packed basil and healthy fats from olives and nuts, makes an ideal match for almost anything kids will eat - pasta, a turkey sandwich, you name it. This walnut version from farm-to-family delivery service, Out of the Box Collective solves for many edible family issues. Their Back To School box includes everything necessary to make the pesto, plus a ton of other ingredients that families can enjoy cooking together. Designed with busy but health-conscious moms in mind, learn all about the box below and be sure to order before August 23rd to get yours...

Summer is over and you’re back to being a chauffeur-parent, super glued to your car seat, stressed by traffic, with less and less time. You're balancing work with trying to get everyone from point A to point B and back – soccer practice, violin lessons and playdates – you’re thinking about their successes, their passions, their travels and their college degrees. We get it.

As the mother of three, I want to help my kids have great experiences. And I want us to have the kind of quality time that creates lasting health, epic memories, basic life skills and a family culture anchored by happy times around the dinner table. But with so much pressure, it’s no surprise that cooking ranks low on the to-do list.

Our Real Food Boxes are designed to make the transition to cooking a seamless and fun one. I believe our kids shouldn’t need to go to “home economics” classes or cooking school to be able to feed themselves a simple meal. This week, we have chosen particularly kid-friendly meals - they can help you cook and begin to master the art of a roast chicken with sweet potato and apple mash, pasta and fresh pesto or grilled steak with salsa. The Back-to-School Box is so straight forward, it’ll become their most memorable lifesaver once they’re out of the house trying to build their own lives.[olists num=2][olists num=1]
