For many, the day after Labor Day is the first day of school. Back to routine, trying to drag the kids out of bed to make it to school on time and back to preparing school lunches. I'm always in search of new and fresh ideas for school lunches and loved the idea of Meat and Cheese Sushi and Fruit Sushi for my picky eater.
I may even pack this lunch for myself!
