3-Day Lunch Rotation
A predictable set that reduces decision fatigue and keeps kids eating.
Lactose-Free Meal Plans for Kids
You don't need 50 recipes. You need a system you can run on autopilot: a small rotation of mains, a safe snack list, and a packing rhythm that works on tired weekday mornings.
What "systems" look like
We bundle meals into repeatable patterns: A/B/C days for the week; one dip that goes with three vegetables; one affordable protein that stretches across two lunches. The point is consistency, not culinary fireworks.
- Rotation: 3 mains your kid actually eats → repeat weekly
- Prep: Cut once, portion thrice; label dips; pack the night before
- Shelf-stable: Keep a backup bin for mornings that go sideways

Safe, portable options for lunchboxes without refrigeration.
