Leftover lunch wonders

thermos-everyday-food-jar-stainless-steel-0-5-litre-14397670Why did it take me so long to discover the benefits of a thermos?  I have struggled for many years to provide healthy lunches for my son.  But avoiding processed meats, with a finicky eater, results in many uneaten lunches.

Recently a friend of mine told me how she gave her kids leftovers for lunch.  Warm pastas and soups, anything that can fit in a thermos works.  I know this isn’t new information, but for some reason I felt I needed to create a masterpiece for lunch each day.  Now, at least two or three times a week I pack our dinner into a pre warmed thermos.  And it works!  I think keeping the lunch box simple is a good idea.   Last night we had whole wheat pasta, with a homemade tomato cream sauce, grated parmesan cheese.  Packed it to the rim in the morning and this evening, when I unpacked my son’s lunch bag, it was almost all gone.  

So don`t forget to be creative with your kids lunches
