If you are over PB&J sandwiches and are looking for healthy lunchbox options this homemade healthy ranch dressing with veggie kabobs is a great way to go.  Make veggie kabobs by taking any fresh vegetables that your child likes- zucchini, squash, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, etc. and dicing them into small bite sized pieces and sliding them on skewers. Every mom knows that just about any food put on stick instantly becomes 200% cooler and kids will at least  try it.

The second part of the equation in getting your child to eat healthier food is dip. Most kids like to dip anything and everything, I know mine do! I have been trying to avoid as much processed packages as I can so I needed to make my own healthier version of my kids favorite dip-Ranch Dressing. So this yogurt based ranch dressing was born and the kids still love it an put it on everything from chicken nuggets to veggies.
