Quick Minestrone and Lunchbox Love 11


Welcome to our weekly Friday feature, Allergy Friendly Lunchbox Love!  This link party is specifically for your dishes that will travel well in a lunchbox, and if they're free of some (or all) of the top eight food allergens, that's even better :)

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday yesterday!  I'm still out of town hanging out with the relatives, so for my lunchbox feature today I'm linking back to a recipe I posted a few months ago.  This Quick Minestrone Soup is so simple to make, and is a nice warm treat on a cold day.  Make a big batch and your lunch-eaters will have something yummy for a whole week!

Our Lunchbox Love features today are two clever bento lunchboxes and a yummy reader's choice dessert.  Food Corner submitted her first bento lunch, a rice onigiri in the shape of a heart that forms the flowerpot beneath charming flowers made of carrots and green onions.  Such a fun way to deliver a healthy lunch!  Welcome to the Jungle shared a healthy baked eggroll, stuffed with high-protein beans and other Southwest deliciousness.  Little packages of food always look so much more appetizing than bigger versions, don't they?  Then, our readers most-clicked link is Heather's Pumpkin Dessert from Gluten Free Cat.  This looks so wonderful - thick and sweet - and I'm afraid when I make it I'll have to lock it up so I don't eat the entire thing in one sitting!

And now it's time for this week's link party.  I know many of you are still on holiday, but I thought I'd just give everyone the opportunity to share anyway!  What did you pack for lunch this week?
