These apple and smoked gouda lunchbox kebobs are a super easy and nutritious option for packing those lunchboxes.
I don’t know about you, but kids going back to school always fills me with “lunchbox dread”. I really hate the tedium of having to figure out what to put in Mini Chef’s lunchbox every day. It’s not fun. I don’t like it. Did I mention I hate packing lunches?
So I’m starting a little early with my lunch planning this year. I’ve decided to put together a collection of easy lunches I can throw together for Mini Chef. I’ll put together a list and then tape them to the fridge for those mornings my coffee hasn’t kicked in enough yet to figure out what my child should eat that day.
I mean, there is only so much anyone can expect of me before the coffee or green tea kicks in and I can tell you it ain’t much. So a list like this is often a lifesaver, provided I’ve actually managed to do the grocery shopping. But that’s a whole other post…
This simple, but tasty lunch idea is fun for kids of all ages. Pick up some decorative toothpicks and create your own combinations!
P.S. – Concerned about packing toothpicks in your child’s lunchbox? Try using whole grain pretzel sticks instead!

How do you prevent the apples from browning?
Allison – I haven’t had a problem with it. If I cut them up in the morning, it’s only a few hours before lunch. But if you want to make this the night before, I found this article for you. I hope it will be helpful: http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/09/how-to-prevent-apple-pear-browning.html
