August 23rd, 2011 · 52 Comments · Frugality, Recipes

It takes me half an hour to pack food any time we have to eat away from home. Half an hour. Minimum. Lunch for one adult and two small children, I’m sure, should not take that long. And starting in just two short weeks, I’ll be packing a lunch every day for my new first [...]
