Darina Allen: Tasty and healthy treats to add to your child's lunchbox
What a year our children have had to endure. It’s been difficult for everyone in a myriad of ways but the poor little dotes have been deprived of interaction with their friends, sport and much of their natural behaviour for months on end. Consequently, many are displaying signs of anxiety and mental illness. Parents did their very best while they themselves battled to keep going often in a haze of confusion.
Now it’s back to school time again in a mixture of excitement, apprehension and the extra challenge of providing healthy, wholesome, exciting school lunches every day. We are all aware that it’s more important than ever to boost our young people’s immune system – it’s all about yummy healthy wholesome, nutrient dense food, our secret weapon to help them resist viruses, colds, flu and to cope with anxiety.
