Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave Shares 3 Creative, Healthy Recipes for Kids' School Lunches
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills accountability coach and mom's easy, colorful options will inspire your back-to-school season.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills accountability coach Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave stays All In — even on holidays and during summer travel for work or for leisure. So you know she's all about keeping things healthy when it's time (sigh) for the family to button up that summer schedule and head back to school — but that doesn't mean sacrificing the spirit of fun in her kids lunches.
Teddi visited E! Daily Pop on August 13 to share some healthy, easy, and creative recipes for kids' lunches. She calls them, "fun, delicious, and nutritious lunches for the kiddos... that everybody can join in making — these lunches will fill your kids up while making them smile."
