Do you want to eat healthier and raise kids with good eating habits, but lack new ideas as you stand at the health food store thinking, “I’m so tired of packing my kid’s lunch, I can barely stand it”?

My heartfelt thanks go to Beliefnet’s Spirituality Editor Valerie Reiss for alerting me to the most tantalizing, oddly captivating, award-winning vegan blog (destined no doubt to become a great book): Vegan Lunch Box!

Cook, knitter, and mother Jennifer McCann of Kennwick, Washington puts great care into every photo and description of the wildly varied, creative, and seasonally appropriate lunches she makes for her child. Read just a few of McCann’s posts and you’ll fall in love with this woman–a stay-at-home vegan mom with a lucky work-at-home husband and well-fed kid she calls “Schmoo.”

P.S. The ultra-cool bento style lunchbox Jennifer repeatedly features can be found at laptoplunches.com. With this box, you don’t have to pollute the world with plastic sandwich baggies. I’m ordering two for my young Chatterings today!
