This easy pizza-inspired roll-up is a kid-pleaser. Make crunchy vegetables more appealing by selecting colorful varieties like orange and purple cauliflower--and don't forget the dip! Keep 'em smiling with watermelon cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters.

Microwave?? I have not tried the recipe for the tortilla wrap yet but I will definitely find a way to NOT USE A MICROWAVE for it!!! I dumped my microwave a long time ago as it causes disease and is bad for you in so many ways. I don't miss is a bit I use a toaster oven and my stove. Also don't like the cookie idea in the lunch.

Hello. I recently bought a bento box from Laptoplunches.com. They're about 13 per box. Very handy for packing multiple things like this recipe. If you're looking for a cheaper box I'm sure just going to google/yahoo and looking up bento box will help. Read More

This is great! I actually use it for myself to work. For those complaining about the cookie business if you had half an eye you would notice that the recipe says 6 chocolate wafer cookies. NOT OREOS! If you want substitute them with something else! BTW: Review sections are reserved for those who have MADE the recipe! If you haven't made it yet keep your mouth shut! Read More

Five Oreos Are You Serious? Main dish looks good but I would taste test it with kids. Pros: The fruit and veggies are great Cons: Far too many Oreo calories Read More

Great colors and shapes. Laptop lunches box is kids favorite. I would skip the cookies. Sweet watermelon is enough. Adding more vegetables can add color and nutrition value without adding sugar. Pros: Fruit and vegetables are included Cons: Too much cookies Read More

Substitutions? Anyone try using something besides the spinach? My 9 year old son is a very picky eater and does not like spinach but will eat other vegetables. Since neither me or my son likes wheat (my husband does though) I'm going to switch the wheat tortilla to a low carb one instead. Read More
