Check out Peanut Free Back To School Lunch Recipes!

by Sarah Minnesota Mama at Foodie.com

My four year old son Aiden has a peanut allergy so we have a completely nut-free house. Everything we eat is nut free. Many schools are going nut free with the rise in life threatening peanut allergies so even kids without nut allergies are having to bring nut free lunches to school. I have compiled 20 peanut free school lunch recipes and ideas to help get your creative juices flowing this year. It’s really not that difficult to go nut free once you get the hang of it. Here is some inspiration for you! Scroll through my Foodie collection to see all 20 peanut free lunch recipes.

    My kids can eat peanuts, but I know sometimes their friends can’t. This will help me pack lunches that they can enjoy with their friends, great round-up!

    I think Peanut butter is a daily staple in our house. I have a hard time with meats and nuts are the main source of protein for me. I did have an allergic reaction to pecans the other night, makes me super sad. I love the mason jar salads. Meal prep is so important to keep me on a healthy diet. Thanks!
