Looking for a really healthy, scrumptious lunch idea that you can prep in advance and that your kids will definitely love? Silly question, right?

Did you know that the comedian Jerry Seinfeld has practiced meditation for the last 40 years? True story. If you are a Seinfeld fan, or even if you aren’t, if you have ever heard him being interviewed (check out his interview on Howard Stern, and also a really excellent one with Alec Baldwin, on the
