The Low-carb Lunch Bunch


The Low-carb Cook's Nook Presents

What's in YOUR Low-carb Lunch Box???

You CAN Take It With You!


Dear Low-Carbers,

First, we tackled what-to-eat-for-breakfast on Low-carbing. This week, we will talk about what-to-take-to-lunch. Come to the Low-carb Cook's Nook on Thursday and bring your lunch ideas.

Waving my Magic wand, we will answer such issues as...

What portable foods do you pack when you go to school or work?

What do you do when you don't have bread to put that filling on?

And what about these LC products?
And what about restaurant lunches??

If you have kids on LC, whatever do you send in that lunch box every day?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Come join FOOD Magic & F00D Angel and get some new ideas and recipes for LC lunching and take-with-you foods!
