As the weather changes, our tastebuds change with it. We find ourselves starting to crave meals that give us comfort and keep us warm. Our kids are no different. Recently, my youngest asked if I could start packing hot foods in his lunch. I simply smiled, and I\u2019ll tell you why.<\/p>\n

My youngest is picky on a good day. He doesn\u2019t like sandwiches. He turns his nose up at wraps. He doesn\u2019t like cold vegetables. He won\u2019t eat cheese. He hates yogurt with the \u201cchunks\u201d in it. He\u2019ll only eat plain vanilla. Watermelon is too squishy. Oranges are too juicy. He\u2019s the kid that will tell me he likes something one week and then stop eating it the next. He\u2019d live off buns, mac and cheese, muffins, and croutons if you let him. Yes, croutons.<\/p>\n

When it comes to packing lunches, he\u2019s a challenge to put it mildly. So, when he tells me he wants hot food in his lunch, I know this will probably only last a week before he tells me he doesn\u2019t like hot food in his lunch anymore. I think a week might be generous.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m going to give this hot lunch thing a whirl though, I\u2019m going to do it right! So, I did a bit of research, talked to some Mom friends who have kids that actually like food, and I came up with a few tips to make sure packing hot lunches this winter goes smoothly.<\/p>\n

\"Omie<\/p>\n

Tip #1 \u2013 Buy a Good Thermos<\/strong><\/h6>\n

My biggest tip for packing hot lunches this winter is the thermos. You need a good<\/u><\/strong><\/a> thermos. We love Omie<\/a> because you can have the thermos and lunchbox in one!<\/p>\n

You know the saying \u201cyou get what you pay for\u201d? Well, it\u2019s probably true in this case. If your kids are anything like my youngest, they can be a little rough on things. So, you\u2019ll want to invest in a thermos that will not only keep things hot but will also withstand being bumped all over the place! (We\u2019re on water bottle #3 already this year!)<\/p>\n

Tip #2 – Keep Food Hot <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Okay, so most of us think if we put the food into the thermos steaming hot, it will still be steaming hot at lunch time, right? Well, not always. So, here\u2019s what you do \u2013 boil a pot of water and pour it into the thermos while you\u2019re preparing lunches. Then, drain the thermos right before you add in the food. The heat from the water will warm up the thermos to keep food hot until it\u2019s ready to eat.<\/p>\n

Tip #3 – Prevent Sogginess<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Kids love chicken nuggets, right? But they don\u2019t love soggy chicken nuggets. Trust me. So, stuff the bottom of the thermos with a paper towel to absorb all the liquid and prevent foods from getting soggy. Brilliant, isn\u2019t it? I\u2019d love to take the credit for this one, but I read it online somewhere and I just thought it was genius!
\nThe best items to keep hot are always liquids like soups, stews and saucy pastas!<\/a><\/p>\n

Tip #4 \u2013 Variety<\/strong><\/h6>\n

That thermos isn\u2019t just for soup and chicken nuggets! There are so many delicious items you can pack so the kids still have a hot lunch without getting bored. Think chili, pasta dishes, pizza rolls, even dinner leftovers like meatloaf or stir fry. I mean, my kid won\u2019t eat half of those things, but I\u2019m hoping yours will.<\/p>\n

It also helps to engage them with their lunch, so keep things fun and kid-friendly by packing condiments\/snacks on the side for dipping or sprinkling, like crackers or cheese to go with soup or pasta. When they can engage with their food it makes for an exciting lunchtime!<\/p>\n

Packing lunches is not always easy, but I hope these tips help as we head into those winter months. Oh, and if you\u2019re a hot lunch packing pro, we\u2019d love to hear from you! Share any tips we may have missed in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
