Easy Hot School Lunch List

February 12, 2015 23 Comments

Cold days are upon us…and it’s nice to send a hot lunch to school (it switches up the sandwich routine and warms up the kids before they go out for lunch recess). I’ve put together an Easy Hot Lunch List of kid-friendly comfort foods which can be sent for a hot school lunch. And yes, these would totally work for office lunch too…

Easy Hot Lunch List

Easy Hot Lunch List

Doesn’t this Easy Hot Lunch List just make your crave mac n’ cheese? Or  my Slow Cooker Beef Stew Recipe? Or my Creamy Chicken Rice Soup? All of which are seriously delicious…and easy.

TIP: Pour hot water into an empty Thermos for 5 minutes, dump water, and then add hot food. This will help keep your hot food warm for longer!

When sending a hot lunch to school ensure the top is on securely. This may sound obvious…but if the top is not on correctly…it will spill out…wrecking the backpack…and wrecking school lunch (no parent ever enjoyed the “Hi, this is the school secretary calling, your daughter doesn’t have a lunch” phone call).

Ensure the top is on.

And if you second guess yourself – simply put the Thermos into a resealable plastic bag. Easy breasy.

Share!…What do you send for hot lunches?…

    Great list of ideas, it is always nice to have something to plan when you have no ideas yourself.

    My granddaughter takes a hot vegetable soup with her in a thermos to school every day. You have made a good list of other alternatives, now she just has to be persuaded 😉

    Excellent ideas! Lunches get so monotonous! Great to change it up – time to get out the Thermos!

    I love the list, children need variety. They get bored of eating the same thing!

Instagram post 2189335607044545523_10129937 Too early for bûche de Noël ? Never. If you watched my instastories yesterday I did a pre-holiday trial run of this chocolate ganache yule log (recipe: @bonappeteat). .
Results: easiest bûche recipe I've come across. Everyone like it too!

And yes, I let my teenager have a piece for breakfast today. 😂
Instagram post 2188683452952475527_10129937 I'm coordinating a holiday food drive at our dojo. Not only is it good for the community...I think its good for families to pause during the holiday season and realize a bag of oatmeal or a tin of vegetables can make a difference in someone else's life. .
We see so many ads for holiday buying in December but we forget that GIVING is just as important (maybe more) during the holidays. .
Remember to give! 🙏

THANK YOU for following, liking, commenting, and dming. I appreciate it all so much.
.
I'm not the best photographer. Not witty with comments. I don't have a filtered theme. I won't ever go viral. .
But I like sharing my mom life, tips, fails, truths. I like being part of a community. I like being an introvert who can extrovert on a social. .
Thanks for sticking through 1-999 to get here 😉
Instagram post 2187269044430727953_10129937 Throwback to that girls weekend at @grailspringsretreat where we hiked, talked, and hit the reset on Mom life. We need to take more me-time in our lives! 💕
