Lunch Box Menu Plan

Real Failsafe Meals has tackled a 4 week lunch box menu plan. This is a great idea and will give you that kick start you might need with ideas on how to get started.

"I was inspired by someone who said they had a school lunch menu pinned to their pantry door. I've menu planned for dinner for a long, long time and I don't know why it never occurred to me to do the same for school lunches. Especially as school lunches can be so hard to come up with when you're still tackling breakfast." [read more]

Melting Moments

A delicious treat just for something special...

"Just a melting moment. Just a gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free melting moment. They are not healthy though. I once made the mistake of thinking that food that was free of all these things must be healthy. It's not. It's sugary and 'buttery' and oh so tasty." [read more]

The school canteen

It's pretty hard for a school canteen to sell FAILSAFE foods (we all know there aren't that many commercially available) but they can provide healthier options with no nasty added chemicals. If you're concerned about the food sold by your school canteen there are some great resources on the Food Intolerance Network website to help you approach the school. [read more]
