It's time to turn our attention to the most important part of the new school year - the lunch box. I like what Mikki Williden is saying here because I have always found that most kids prefer a box full of different treasures that they can nibble awayat rather than one great big sandwich full of something they really do not feel like eating that day.

I'm a fan of the quarter sandwich - make one, cut it in to four and everyone (including mum and dad) gets a piece to round out the other lunchbox items. You will find a whole collection of ideas for sandwiches here.

Kylee Newton's strawberry cordial is another sweet little afternoon refresher, great to make up and freeze in bottles for those packed lunches too. Strawberries are on their way out so make it now.

For those that live in Auckland enjoying an Anniversary Day holiday, I have one word for you ... Pancakes. We have a basic buttermilk batter and three variations - sweet or savoury - to suit your craving.
