Now that the kids are back at school its time to start thinking about lunchbox fillers. Mind you that isn’t as hard as you think if you have the Australian Women’s Weekly Little Squares & Slices cookbook on hand
My friend Tammy makes amazing slices for her family of 5 children to pop into their lunch boxes and for after school snacks and this is one I am sure you will all love.

Each recipe is clearly photographed so that you can see what the finished dish should look like. The recipes aren’t complicated and because they are all tested before publication, they work – every time.
