Apple

And for Dessert, Sea Salt Caramels

January 24, 2013

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, lunch is sandwiches made with wheat bread from Whole Foods Market -- just wheaty enough and the perfect toasting bread -- with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and watermelon radishes. Sliced apple on the side (a nice clean flavor to go with the rich sandwich), and sea salt caramels for dessert, wrapped in old-timey fashion, which gets me every time!

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.

Haha--yes. Do Amanda's kids trade for Lunchables? Etc.

They always have great lunches, but do they ever get any of the classics? PB and j? Dunkaroos??

Ha! yes that would be so interesting to read/see. My child is very adventurous but these kiddos eat great! I would also like to have the "lunch wear" they have for my lunch. It fits everything oh so perfectly.
