Tamra Davis Makes School Lunch

I'm always really curious to see what other people feed their kids, probably because mine are such sporadic and unadventurous eaters. Tamra Davis is a filmmaker, mom and kid-cooking guru… not necessarily in that order. The Tamra Davis Cooking Show is an online guide to healthy family meals. The latest episode is about packing school lunches, a process that gives me palpitations since Roo frequently comes home with her lunchbox still full, barely touched no matter how much effort I put into it.



It probably dates me but I get a giddy thrill out of watching Tamra do tag-team cooking with her husband, who happens to be Mike D from the Beastie Boys. Ah, yeah. He packs the lunchboxes while she makes french toast. Perfect harmony, even though they both look about as tired as I do on the average weekday morning. (Admittedly, watching any guy pack a lunchbox is pretty foxy to me these days. Oh my god, I am such a mom…)



Tamra also published a cookbook: Make Me Something Good To Eat is filled with healthy vegetarian recipes, plus ideas for all sorts of parent-related cookery like dinner parties, bake sales, brunches, etc. And if you're swayed by celebrity opinions, keep this in mind- Gwyneth likes it. So there.
