Easy Apple Slices for Lunch

Your kids love apples for lunch, but they are a pain. If you precut the apple it is brown by lunch time. If you don't cut the apple most of it doesn't get eaten.

You can cut the apples and put them in the lunch bag without them turning brown with just a couple of options.

If they only want a half an apple, cut the apple and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. The apple will not "rust" if air cannot get to it.

If they want the whole apple, cut it apart as normal. When you are done, put it back together and hold it together with a rubber band. You can also wrap it in a bit of plastic wrap to keep the juices from getting loose.

Hot Lunches

You have some wide mouthed insulated containers that you use for soup for lunches, but you can't always think of a soup to put in it.

Why limit the choices to soup? I will make up a can of the current favorite spaghetti or ravioli and place in the container. I will reserve any leftovers for a later date.

Want something different?

Place some rice in the container with your favorite topping.

How about some home made spaghetti or alfredo?

The options are endless for a not so boring lunch!
