Bites Around the Blogosphere -- School Edition

I've decided to take this Sunday as an opportunity to share with you some great school ideas I've found, along with many of my own recipes. Please feel free to add to this list in the comment section if you know of a great lunchbox recipe, waste-free school lunch idea, or something else to make the school day go more smoothly.

• Popovers Stuffed with Eggs and Cheese
• English Muffins

• Blueberry Banana Muffins
• Whole Wheat Strawberry Banana Pancakes at A Foodie Fairytale
