Every week we take a peek inside the lunches of the luckiest kids in Brooklyn. Read on, suppress your jealousy, and get a little brown bag inspiration.
This week's lunch was a kitchen sink creation. I had smoked salmon and needed to figure out what else I could pair with it. I thought a watermelon radish would be fun, and I also had a few scraps of tarragon -- salmon likes tarragon even when the herb is looking a little forlorn. And cream cheese, as I've mentioned before, is the great school lunch unifier. All I needed to do was arrange this motley grouping on some sandwich bread and add in a tangerine and chocolate macaroon for company.

I drool over these kids' lunches and LOVE this series so much. I have to share though, only because it made me laugh, that my 7 year old daughter just looked at the lunch posted here and said, "Never do that to me, Mommy". Clearly, I have work to do!

I would definitely eat that lunch. Some of my favorite foods are in it. Those are some lucky kids to have such a creative mom.

Scrapping is my favorite kitchen pastime. Beautiful toasts and the flavors go together well. I just discovered cauliflower hearts and leaves. A whole side dish can be made out of those suckers.
