Comments (34)I bought a few of these: http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Stainless-King-SK3000MB4-Midnight/dp/B0017IFSIS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1320542508&sr=8-3 My kids/DH tell me that their lunches are still piping hot when they're opened. I make soups or stews and freeze them. In the morning, I pop the frozen square (if I've forgotten to thaw it) into a pot or the microwave and warm it up. Add noodles if needed, put into preheated thermos and we're good to go. My teens like it. I pack a tuna noodle salad about every other week. I will sometimes use canned salmon instead, but they prefer the tuna. Some days, my husband will make a frozen pizza early in the morning, let it cool and the kids take slices of that to eat cold. They really love that. They get hot lunch at school once a week, on "Chef Day", when there's something really good that they want. Once in awhile I still buy lunchmeat and let them make a few sandwiches with it, but it's not very often. We can't send PB&J with my daughter because there are several kids at her school with severe nut allergies and she worries about causing a problem for them. Carrots are the usual veg of choice for the lunchboxes, and they prefer to have a fruit snack when they get home so I have stopped trying to get them to pack fruit in their lunches. I am less strict about lunches than I am about breakfast and dinner, the goal is to get something fairly healthy that they will actually eat and enjoy into the lunchbox. Gloved and gowned, I once dug through the luncheon garbage from grades 1-5, looking for a lost retainer. I was horrified at the number of whole apples and bananas thrown away, and the number of lunches that were not even opened. Bag after bag lunch, obviously lovingly packed, some with cheery notes or hearts on them! Baggies with whole sandwiches, or whole bags of vegetables or fruits. I felt so bad for those moms, and for the teachers who had to deal with hungry, crabby kids for the afternoon. And irritated with the unknown kids, who were wasting so much nutritious food when so many children in the world go hungry every day. It was disgusting.

Comments (22)Ate at the club, Glenda. I was even too tired to heat up the sweet potato fries so I had a dish of ditalini, shrimp salad. It was good. Will finish my sandwich tomorrow night. I'm so glad I have so many left overs in the fridge. I can pick and choose and don't have to cook. That 2$chuck is sounding good to me nanny and I don't drink that much. It would probably really knock me out!...See MoreDinner, for lunch per usual. What about you?
Comments (9)I picked up take-out for dinner at an Asian place around lunch time. Today was the Iowa-Iowa State game here and the restaurant is in campus town so I had to pick up dinner while the game was being played. A friend has been raving about the food and it is the first anniversary of the cafe and food is 40% off. Yummy spring rolls with shrimp in them and grilled spicy salmon with rice and veggies....See Moreblfenton
