Lunch Boxes

Easy Lunchboxes

Every year while school shopping we are faced with the great task of choosing  a back pack and a lunch box.  Thus far I have gone for the color coordinated lunch box to match the back pack.  I have even gone with the cooler lunch bag that you place in the freezer to keep the food cold.  I have always ran into the same problems.

Not enough room in the bag for the food, tips and spills, too many containers.  I usually end up purchasing prepackaged foods.  Gogurt, pre-packaged fruit, juice box, crackers, dessert, Crustables, Lunchables, ect.

I am not a fan of prepackaged foods.  I much prefer to make it myself that way I know what ingredients are included and I there aren't any preservatives and "extras" that I don't know about.  I was STUCK in a Packed Lunch RUT!

While cruising around Pinterest (yeah I'm addicted)  I found some AWESOME links to lunch ideas.  That was all I needed to get my lunch creativity flowing again!  After looking at many options and websites I decided on the Easy Lunchboxes.  LOVING the idea and eager to give it a try.

Ordering was super easy (ordered one click through Amazon AWESOME!)  It was at my door in a few short days!  I ordered a lunch bag and accompanying 4 containers ($21)  VERY reasonable!

I am LOVING it!  Three of the containers fit in the lunch box cooler!  I am able to pack ONE container for their snack time, Two containers for lunch! AWESOME!  The containers are a GREAT size, and I am packing some WONDERFUL lunches!  I lOVE the variety I am able to pack in their lunches and snacks and how FULL of nutritious options I can make it for them!

Along with the lunch bags I also ordered a package of tiny food cutters (flower shapes)  for fun!

YES it is taking me a little longer to make their lunches, but I am doing it the night before and I am enjoying it so much!  I enjoy it knowing it is a special treat from home that they get to open and enjoy during their day!  I am so excited to share this!!

Here are a few "lunch links" to inspire you as well.
