Celebrate National School Lunch Week with lunchbox essentials that not only kids but parents will love!
It didn’t take long for me to realize that sending the kids to school with a bagged lunch was our best option. I didn’t like not knowing what my kids ate and how much they ate and was afraid that they would be wasting food or spending the day hungry. I’m also one that enjoys making their lunch special and by prepping them all ahead of time, on Sunday night, I don’t have to spend time during the busy morning getting them ready. The kids can just grab a lunch container from the fridge and a freezer pack and have their lunchbox packed in under 60 seconds.
Lunch is an important time of the day to nourish and fuel young minds. Each week the kids receive a variety of lunchboxes, cheese/ham/crackers is a favorite along with sandwich rollups, and kabobs – diced chicken & cheese & lettuce on a small bamboo skewer. Carrots and cucumbers are two of their favorite veggies, and they usually have fruit weather it’s strawberries, grapes, or an apple for snack time. I enjoy knowing what I sent them to school with and can see what they came home with, both of my children aren’t ones to throw food away that I send them in with, and if they don’t finish their lunch they usually have a reason why.
