Hi, I'm Jenny, mom and loyal subject to two young dictators, Sid and Lazlo. My story begins like all heroes’ journeys, with the best of intentions and a shit ton of mommy issues. Growing up as a child of divorce, with two parents who worked days and dated nights, I was often tasked with packing my own lunches for school. So when I had Sid and Lazlo, I couldn’t simply send them out the door with brown paper bags. I needed to give them movable feasts. I knew I would have to be strategic or they would turn into those tyrants that only eat pasta with butter. At first, lunches started as a testing ground. Since I wasn’t around, there wasn’t the same power struggle as at every other meal. So I went hard, serving up everything from kimchi to Guatemalan pupusas. As I planned out each lunch, I started to understand that for me, these lunches weren’t just about nutrition or exposure. They were my way of “having it all,” of being both the stay-at-home mom I always dreamed of and the working mom I am to the core of my being. They are my version of a handwritten note, not just to the kids I have but also to the kid I once was. And now I get to share all of these lunches with you in the Dictator Lunches cookbook, which is full of recipes, kitchen tips & tricks, stories about (attempting) to find balance, and fun ways to get creative in the kitchen and share that creativity with your kids. ❤️📘 Click the link in my bio to pre-order! #dictatorlunches #jennymollen #healthyrecipes #healthylifestyle #healthymeals #kidslunch #kidslunchbox #kidslunchideas #kidslunchboxideas #bentobox #bentolunch #bentoboxlunch #kidscooking #easykidsmeals #easyhealthymeals #easyhealthyrecipes #healthycookbook #kidscookbook #lunchforkids #lunchformykids #kidslunches #kidslunchrecipes #healthylunchideas #healthylunchboxideas #momlife
