I ran over here so fast I tripped. Just kidding. I needed some kid friendly lunch ideas for my oldest grandson.
Haha! I was excited to get this one out, it’s been too long.
@@KristinStepp I understand, friend. I know you've been busy.
😂😂😂😂
I agree with the great value frozen breaded chicken! Tyson has gotten rubbery😂
One trip I learned when I packed my kids lunches is to freeze the Capri sun or juice boxes, not only do they help keep food cool, they'll be defrosted by lunch & kids have a cold drink
That's a good idea. I'll have to share it with my daughter-in-law for my grandchildren.
She’s tried that before and they were not unthawed
I did try that once and the kids said they were still frozen by lunch so I’ve been afraid to try it again. I should experiment at home because I think that’s a great idea!
*Trick. I suggest you go to school along with your kids for your grammar!
I put ours in the refrigerator. It stays cold longer with the ice pack.
I love how you show what they eat. So many videos make “perfect” lunches but I wonder what the kids enjoy. Thanks! 😊
I love watching these. I packed a lunch for my little guy every school day from Kindergarten through freshman year. Last year, as a sophomore, he finally decided he wanted to do school lunch. Of course I like not having to figure out what to do each week, and love the extra time in the mornings….but I really do miss it too. They grow up so fast 😢
Oh goodness the thought of mine being in high school makes me tear up instantly! It’s already going so fast 😢
Aww.
They grow up super fast, I was warned about every milestone in a kids life except when they leave home. That was the hardest for me, my youngest is in 5th grade, I can’t believe it…
I love how realistic this is! Honestly this is great. I love the honesty and just plain reality of what it is to feed a child. As much as we want to pack super healthy meals, the fact is that they just need to eat what they like and mix it up as much as we could.
Sorry, don't agree, I try my best to send healthy lunch, sometimes my child will eat everything, sometimes just some, but in my son's ( public school) no chips are allowed, for drinking just water, no sugary things like cookies, muffins, cupcakes. My son usually gets a sandwich, tomatoes or cucumbers on the side, fruit on the side plus yogurt or applesauce. I try to make different sandwiches, with ham and cheese, cream cheese, tuna salad, egg salad. Sometimes he gets spaghetti, or I make burrito for him. Sometimes he gets bagel with strawberry cream cheese.
@justine8160 agree.
children decide how much they eat, we decide what they eat.
@@annekenabuurs881 Yea, until they don't eat anything. Rigidity isn't a great way to parent.
@@smol-onenah sorry but there would always one sort of fruit/veggie they would eat. And just don’t start with chips ore other unhealthy stuff.
Maybe because I’m from another country, but chips and sweets aren’t aloud at school. So kids don’t see other people eat them. And drinks only: water, milk or thee.
The idea of putting the cheese against the bread to keep it from getting soggy is such a smart idea. I make mine like that too.
Dont just go to school to eat lunch🍝🥗🍱 nd recess.. 😂 j/k..😢😂 pick up the pencils, crayons, focus on your work, obey your teachers.. Pay attention.. This your lunch🍝🥗🍱, i can't feed the whole class.. 😅😅😅.. Im talking to my grandkids.. 😅😅
Thanks for sharing these lunches with us Kristen! I can use some of these ideas for myself!
Your lunch ideas are amazing, Kristin. I especially appreciate your showing what food the kids come home with. ~ Have a wonderful weekend!
It was such a simple thing but I'm totally gonna try that pasta dish on my nephew! He's such a picky kid from being allowed to only eat junk as a toddler and young kiddo, so we struggle to get him to eat things that will fill him up so he's not constantly just snacking and eating hot dogs and chicken nuggets. He'll occasionally eat canned chicken noodle or buttered noodles (and I've been able to hide an egg in that carbonara style with the pasta water) so this could totally be another option that works out/will get him some more nutrients from a broth that has a good protein count.
I know the struggle of trying new things! I hope he loves it, it’s really good and pretty similar to canned chicken noodle soup but better! Good for you for trying, he’s lucky. 💙
I always love your videos. Even though I don’t have kiddos, the lunchbox videos (both hubby and the kids) always give me inspiration of what I can take to work. Thanks Kristin!!!
You do such a good job with never forcing your kids to eat anything. It is so much better (most of the time, every kid is different) to just offer and model rather than make it a big deal.
That baby said the food was so good he didn’t even notice he ate the fork
Didn’t know you could buy bread at Subway. How much normally…when not free?
1 tablespoon of lemon juice to one cup of water, let your apple slices soak for 3-5 minutes, then drain and rinse!
Love the packed lunches. It’s cute how they loved your soup/pasta and their favorite snackies! Please let Riley know we see her trash she brings back so we 👀 to see if she eats all that her sweet Mommy packed. ❤
I enjoy these so much, especially when you show what they actually ate. Where does the time go, seems like summer just started.💟
So true!
I was wondering if Riley was leaving the trash for you to film it. Lol She's so considerate! ❤️
She really is! 🥹
Love your lunchbox videos!! ❤
Yay! Thank you! 💗
Soaking the apples in lukewarm water with salt for 10mins will help stop them from browning. You can also do 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to with water instead of salt as well ! Just make sure to dap them dry
Kristen, you can pack my lunch anytime, all looked yummy!
Haha! Thank you!! ❤️
All hail this Queen of Lunches!! That could also be used as quick dinner ideas!!
This is so fun to watch! You prepare lunches just like I do! Thanks for sharing. Looking to try your pasta recipe, good idea pairing it with the grilled cheese. I will be following for more. ;-) Great job!
wow you put so much love in your kid's lunches! they must be so happy with a wonderful mother like you 🩷
I teach at a school and peanut butter is totally allowed. But my kids preschool is all nut free. So I think it really varies from school to school.
Thanks for another great video!
Not everyhere. In my son's school not allowed.
@@justines8160 I said it varies from school to school.
Your voice is so calming. ❤️
You are such a good mama. ❤️
Thank you for these ideas! Much appreciated.
Great ideas here! Our district is doing universal free lunch this year, but my daughter says the line is so long that there isn’t enough time to eat. So I’ve been packing her lunch every day. I love your creativity!
An electric teapot will change your lunchmaking life. It boils water in 3 minutes to prime the thermos with.
I was going to say the same. We constantly use our electric teapot. I definitely use it to put hot water in my daughter’s thermos to make it hot. It’s so fast.
More commonly that is called an electric kettle 😁
Love this! I just made my first 2 lunches for my first grade son. Last year we bought lunch the entire year because I told myself it would be easier. But, now I am willing to try it out and I enjoy it. I haven't really figured out what son really enjoys yet but I will keep experimenting. These were great ideas. And your kids seem to love what you fix for them, Thanks for the ideas,
Before you even showed us, I knew the first day of school lunches were going to be subs and mac! Love that these kiddos don't change (for now!)
I really really enjoy your videos. You keep things real and your personality is so pleasant. As for kid lunch ideas, um, I’ll be trying some of these for myself. They’re good portions and look amazing. ☺️
Woo HOO! I love your videos! I wait all week for them
Aw thank you!! ❤️
My kiddos are past this stage, but I still enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing! 💗
have you editied the other What's for dinner howas basketball going and volleyball
I really wish I had some bento boxes for my kids. They look so neat..❤️ Thanka for these videos! They give me so many ideas on what I can feed my kids. I homeschool and I’m trying to get better about making them lunches earlier so I can stay present
I LOVE watching your videos , I’ve been watching for years! I get so many ideas from your channel 🥰
We pack such similar things for our kids lunches!! Love all of your videos, thanks for showing these lunch videos!
My oldest just started kindergarten and this was so helpful!!! Thank you so much❤
I've missed these!! I ESPECIALLY love the what i pack for my husband's lunch videos. I am a recent subscriber and hope to see those videos come back soon as well ☺ my husband loves his lunchbox ideas (thanks to you) haha
I will definitely have more husband lunchbox videos! 🥰
they didn’t eat a single vegetable or real meat 🧐
The district my son was in for k thru 5th also allowed peanut butter. Actually, the entire district allows peanut butter and we are in a larger city . They have a peanut free area in the cafeteria and if there was a peanut allergy in the class, no snacks with peanuts were allowed for parties. The reasoning behind it is because many kids with sensory issues will only eat certain foods so they had to accommodate both. He is home schooled now so he can eat whatever but it was nice to know I could make him a pb&j if he wanted one. Great lunches.
Great idea on getting the bread from subway. I’ll need to see if mine will do the same
Ive been waiting for these videos to be back! Yay thank you! I will definitely be using some of your ideas 😊
This was great! Thank you for the ideas I really needed this.
You are so welcome!
Hey mamas fairly new mom here. My baby girl is 2.5 yrs old. Do you make your kids lunches every morning or the night before? And why?!?! Thanks mommas
Hi, I know I’m a bit late but maybe I can still help. If you’re packing anything hot, do it in the morning. Otherwise I normally do it in the morning because I have time but if you know you won’t have time or you don’t want to use time in the morning, you can pack the night before. It all really depends on your preference.
Hi! You did a great job with the lunches and you gave me some great ideas!! Thank you!
Such a helpful video!!! Thank you 🙏🏾
My son loses/leaves things behind allll of the time lol so tragic 😅
It really is lol 🥲
What a creative mama! These look delish
Thank you!! 💗
I love how you make these videos! And I love the tips! I’m definitely going to try the great value chicken pattie’s now!
I see that I need a small thermos. That way I can have a hot item ready and won't have to spend my 30 minutes at the microwave.
I watch these to get ideas for my lunch! ❤
Hello,so great to see you,I love these lunches 💕 so yummy for the kiddos and grown-ups too.i see how much love you put into them.wlso love how you give them what they'll eat.wich to me the most important thing.😊I hope you all are doing great, staying safe, happy and healthy ❤️🙏😇😊😊always look forward to your videos ❤️ hv a great day everybody 💚😊
Thank you so much!!
Kirsten will you a grocery haul soon good on the What's for dinner and lunchbox ideas good luckon the blackstone smash burgers recipe is a good idea ❤
you have such great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Love Riley’s lunch bag. I love hearts. Thanks for sharing and I hope your kids have a great school year! 😊
Thanks so much!
We start school in 2 weeks! I love making my son's lunches...thanks for sharing... these are my favorite videos!❤
❤️❤️❤️
With the chicken sandwich, I wonder if you could cook the patty, then warm up the thermos and lightly fold the patty and stick it in with a paper towel to absorb the moisture. Then they could pull it out and put it on the bun and it would be warm. Or even cut the patty in half and stick it in the thermos.
It would be worth a try! ❤️
Get the lunchboxes from Pottery Barn during Black Friday (or sometimes just before Black Friday- sales are better)
I got my daughter’s for just over $10 a couple years ago.
Oh wow! I’ve never thought to look there on Black Friday so I definitely will this year, thanks for the suggestion!!
Thank you for the ideas! I'm going to have to go back and watch more of your lunchbox videos. My daughter is in 1st grade this year. We switched schools and lunches aren't free so she's going to have to take a lunch most of the time and I need ideas. She's picky so it's going to be a challenge to come up with things she'll actually eat.
We are allowed peanut butter at our school. It’s also one of the lunch choices.There is a separate table for the allergic kids. The lunches look great! I’m going to have to look for a thermos funnel. Last year was spill roulette! Lol. 6am is too early. But the bus comes at 7. Have a great week!
I would make the worst messes before the funnel lol. Thank you, you too! ❤️
Haha imagine if someone was allergic to peanut butter and didn’t know someone was gonna bring peanut butter lol 💀💀
Lunches look great! I would love to know about your nails? I get so excited when I see you have a new video.
Thank you!! For the blue nails I picked up the nail polish at Kroger, it’s the OPI brand in their new barbie line. I love it!!
You seem so happy the kids are back to school lol more mama free time !! Love it ! And the video ❤🎉😂😊❤
Yesss lol I can finally get back on a normal schedule with TH-cam. Thank you!!
I don't have kids but I always love seeing your videos! I work at a school and I know that the dye free drinks are the best for your kids. Years ago when I first started working for the schools, the kids would sometimes spill the drinks on the lunchroom tables and they would be permanently stained because of the dyes in the drinks! I always thought, oh my goodness, if those drinks do that to the tables, what are they doing to their little bodies!😳😬
I love all your videos, especially this one where you show what your children are ...Go Mom👏👏💕
I wasn’t surprised to see the mac and cheese for Boston 😂😂
😅❤️
I absolutely love your lunch videos (and all of the others tbh!)
Thank you!!
Peanutbutter is completely fine at our school, also. It's surprising that so many schools don't allow it. My kid's school just doesn't allow food sharing because of allergies.
So happy for these videos! I've been doing these for my sons lunches at school and hes gotten alot of compliments. So thank you so much for your videos and ideas ❤️
Thanks for this! My kiddos are homeschooled but we get in a rut of eating the same thing all the time. This gave some fresh ideas. 😊
Кошмар!!!!Це не є обід для дітей!!!!Ви вбиваете своїх дітей цією їжею!
Shut up
Oh my kids would love that pasta! Thank you for the inspiration 😊
Please do more of these I love theme
Them!*
I am excited to see this video. These are my favorite videos that you post and I've been patiently waiting for 1 to come out but PS I do love all your videos though
Aw thank you!! ❤️
I love all of these ideas! I’m glad you included a lot of stuff with no dyes!!
Love your videos always great food ideas thank you for sharing
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you so much for these lunchbox ideas!
I have a teen and tween who both still love mama to pack their lunches, and we’ve had the same thermoses for years too! They are both into those Campbells Chunky soups, even on these hot Georgia days! 😅😂❤
Hi. Greetings from Antigua 🇦🇬👋🌹
Maybe you should look into insulated ziploc sandwich bags to put those chicken sandwiches in. I just thought of it. I enjoyed your video. Look forward to others. ❤😊
Thanks so much for the great kid lunch ideas! I think it’s so ridiculous that school rule where you can’t have any peanut butter, or anything with peanuts in it. Fortunately, for us, we are not one of those like y’all. Lol! 😂👏🏼🤷🏻♀️🙌🏼🍎
My (31 yr old w/ autisim & adhd) goes to a day program. Takes a daily lunch. I have to give him a 👍. He always brings back any containers I send in his lunch. But I just send a Capri sun & 2 bottles of water. Just plain throw away bottles from Costco or grocery store.
Great ideas for lunches!Thank you!
Such good ideas! Thanks girl!
Love love these videos ❤ Thank you for sharing these ideas!
Thank you!! 💗
Great video! So very helpful for us moms of picky kids🙂
Thank you!!
You can make your own black and white popcorn :) it’s just almond bark (baking aisle) melted and drizzled over plain pop corn
You might want to pack the Juice Box with the Ice Pack to keep it colder without cooling down the rest of the lunch 🤗
Our school has a strict no peanut policy, and one of my daughter’s best friends is highly allergic to peanuts and he’s like terrified when she whips out her sandwiches… lol, she reassures him that it’s a butter and jelly sandwich -not peanut butter, just plain butter! 😂She loves it more than pb&j 🤣🤣
Love your lunchbox vidoes!! Thanks for another video❤
Thank you!!
Great ideas - for kids and adults!!
Love these kid lunch box videos you make ❤
Thank you!!
Girl! Invest in an electric tea kettle. It’s amazing and takes less than a minute to minute to be done. I use mine almost daily for my babies lunches.❤️
Americans are so behind with not having electric kettles as a common kitchen item! They've been a big thing overseas for over 100 years
Thank you for sharing, I greatly appreciate it…I have a 2nd grader who is picky…definitely going to try some of these lunch ideas!
I also spotted your WV Heiners bread :) 💙💛
You are so welcome! & that’s our favorite bread ❤️
I'm excited to watch!
❤️❤️❤️
I 1000% agree with you on the great value chicken! Tyson is not that great when you compare them side by side!
I don't even have kids going to school and I can't get enough of these!!😂
Our school doesn’t have any PB rules and our city isn’t small. 🤷♀️
My son was the same way growing up. If it was brown that meant burnt lol. We laugh about it now because he prefers it more "burnt" colored.
My kid first day kindergarten come back home with empty back pack 😅😅😅
Peanut butter is not allowed where I live because so many kids have nut allergies. That’s awesome you’re kids eat so well!
