We’re always on the lookout for more creative ways to make the kids’ lunchboxes healthy—while still appealing to them. So much gets rejected, and it’s completely baffling. Getting them to eat protein can be particularly challenging, yet it’s so important for helping them grow and giving them the energy they need to stay focused.
Once again, I turned to eggs.
The idea for this came from a favorite Indian lunch: I used to order Kati rolls—kebab or other fillings wrapped in paratha bread—all the time in New York. My favorite would be filled with paneer cheese, onions, and spices, and I’d always choose the option of adding an egg for extra protein.

You know which way I’ve landed the last couple of years. The bangs have stuck (sometimes awkwardly, to my forehead) for some time now. They can be a source of frustration—especially around summer, as it’s tempting to simply reach for the headbands and the bobbi pins—but I feel like I’ve found some favorite hair tools for sticking with the style.
For reference, I have hair that naturally dries slightly waavy. It’s prone to frizz and curling up in saltwater. This is what works for me. (Not all at once.)
