2016 Lunches 281-293

Hello! It's getting so chilly in the mornings around here. I'm loving the ease of packing hot foods in a thermos. It doesn't make for pretty pictures, but I gave up on that long ago. I've been uploading pictures from my phone :o.
I hope you all are having a great school year, please stop by my facebook page and share some lunch and lunch ideas. Sometimes I get in a rut!

A couple of widely known lunch packing tips:

In the morning fill your thermos containers with hot water or cold water for cold foods. Then the containers will be heated up or cooled down to keep foods at the right temperature for longer.

After cutting apples hold the apples together with a rubber band so that they don't brown. If packing part of an apple I toss the slices in juice, lime juice or citrus juice. I don't generally have apple juice on hand.

That's it for this week, have a great lunch packing week!!
