Healthy Hot Lunches with Thermos

tempFDid Fall just vanished from the four seasons?? The temperature this morning on my desktop as you can see from the snapshot is a chilly 48 degrees! I promised not to complain about the weather but man… it’s COLD!! I have to say, despite the cold, it is a perfect day for my kids to bring hot soup in the Thermos Food Jar for lunch.

When my kids first started going to school, I struggled to come up with creative ways for them to have healthy lunches-everyday.  I found healthier deli meat that does not contain chemicals such as nitrites, nitrates, and preservatives but having sandwiches everyday can get pretty boring. Discovering the Thermos Food Jar has been such a blessing for both the kids and their mom!

I recommended using the Thermos to bring left overs or soup as a way to provide kids with healthier lunch options on my recent post, Healthier Lunches for Healthier Kids.

Thermos has been an important part of our school lunches carrying left overs from healthy meals that I’ve prepared such as lasagna, spaghetti, chili, chicken fried rice, ravioli, homemade soups and much more!  What an awesome way to provide my kids with healthy hot lunches. Oh…let’s not forget to mention…they’ve come out with some really cute designs!

Now that we’ve entered into the cold season, soup is usually a staple in our home and I love that Thermos keeps their soup hot for hours until lunch time.

Because we live in the Midwest…the cold months can seem like eternity! We’ll  be making a lot of homemade soup.

Discovering the Thermos Food Jar has saved my sanity from having to rack my brain and worrying about “what am I going to make the kids for lunch!”

Do you struggle with providing healthy lunches?

Are these lined with stainless steel? I think I have to get a couple. My daughter has been asking for mac and cheese in her lunch, but I didn’t want a plastic-lined thermos, which is the kind I remember from my childhood…
