Some of my favorite memories from childhood are the meals my mama would make during the week. From on-the-go breakfast bites, to fun and interactive lunches and approachable dinners that were so simple in preparation, but never lacked love, creativity and flavor. Who remembers sharing their lunch box creations around the table at school with friends? I sure do. My mama always packed the best and most impressive meals and would leave a sweet handwritten note in my lunchbox.
