School lunch can be one of your child’s favorite times of day, or the worst. Don’t let your little one spend their day wishing lunch didn’t happen! Instead, send them off with a school lunch that will make them excited to enter the cafeteria and packed with all the brain power they will need to push through the rest of the day.

I have a confession, I still love Bento. Bento boxes are really great to use with children who need visual stimulation or require their food not touch. Simply Being Mommy has a cute goldfish themed Bento lunch on the blog that I think any kid will enjoy. Check out the cute sandwich shape! I want one!

Of course, not all lunches are about the sandwich! My oldest daughter doesn’t eat sandwiches so we have always had to experiment with different lunch options for her. I’m embarrassed to admit that until today, when I read April Golightly’s post on Thermos Pasta, I didn’t know I was supposed to fill the Thermos with hot water before adding the food! Not only did she share a great recipe, but also some great hot meal/Thermos tips too!
