Cheese Yogurt Milk

Start the week with a Mediterranean-style lunch that includes the opportunity to make your own hummus—a simple Sunday activity when your ambitions for the days ahead run high. Of course, the store-bought stuff works, too!

Take a knife to some peppers, cucumbers, grapes and cheese. Toss in whole-grain pita chips. Now, voila, you have a nutritious and easy-to-assemble lunch in a rainbow of colors. Between the juicy grapes and the smooth cheese, it’s a playground for your—and your kids’—taste buds.
