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.
Today: Amanda makes Merrill's corn salad for her kids' lunch—and it looks so good, she packs it for her own lunch.
This week, the summer stars aligned for my kids' camp lunch. I had some leftover pan-roasted chicken in the fridge and perched it on a bed of Merrill's Tomato Salad with Corn, Summer Squash, and Roasted Onions. Donut peaches went in for a sweet finish. It looked so good, I packed myself the same.

Before starting Food52 with Merrill, I was a food writer and editor at the New York Times. I've written several books, including "Cooking for Mr. Latte" and "The Essential New York Times Cookbook." I played myself in "Julie & Julia" -- hope you didn't blink, or you may have missed the scene! I live in Brooklyn with my husband, Tad, and twins, Walker and Addison.
