Get ‘em while they’re hot! lunchbox 2

Adding a hot dish is a great way to spice up a boring old lunchbox.  Remember to invest in a great thermos.  You won’t regret it.  For our first hot lunch meal we bring you another classic: macaroni and cheese.

Mac & Cheese the original way.

  1. Kraft Easy Mac
  2. Grape tomatoes in thousand island dressing
  3. Cool ranch chips
  4. Fruit cup in heavy syrup
  5. Honey Maid graham crackers with marshmallow
  6. Soda

Mac & Cheese the healthy way.

  1. Thermos of Amy’s macaroni and cheese
  2. Grape tomatoes
  3. Kashi whole wheat crackers
  4. Box of raisins
  5. Back to Nature graham cracker sticks
  6. 100% apple juice
