restaurant offerings, but leftovers can be used in a recipe like this Chicken Tender Smart Pocket,
perfect for packing in your child's lunchbox.
Use kid-friendly, better-for-you ingredients. It's no secret it can be tough to serve smart choices
your kids will actually reach for again and again. Set up a simple toppings bar with a favorite
protein, chopped crunchy veggies and simple sauces alongside fun, do-it-yourself foods like stuff- :
able Toufayan Smart Pockets. Available in Original, 100% Whole Wheat, Everything and Organic
Sprouted Whole Wheat varieties, they're easy to hold, fun to stuff and only 80 calories each.

in the kitchen may not feel so much like a drain on the evening. Throw it back to childhood with these
