Being homeschoolers means we eat lunch in our own home nearly every single day. There are a few exceptions to that, like when we go out on a field trip or attend a co-op class. But, generally, we are home and eat lunch in.

That’s why this list of gourmet lunch ideas makes me happy. 

 

 

Since apples readily available during the autumn months it’s a ready ingredient that I have on hand. So learning ways to utilize this fruit in a way that is different from the norm makes it feel simply gourmet without breaking the bank.
