Love these. The colors are great but yet you can still see what is inside. I love that they are reusable and that they can go in the freezer. Easy to pack on the go!

Also another fan favorite in my house. This case is a little more sturdy and has a magnetic close which is a bonus. The utensils are like the real thing so adults tend to like them more.

For the hubby and me, works great for soup or chili, or even pasta salad. I like that it comes with a fork for easy handling and so you don't forget it while you're in a rush.

This went viral on Tiktok a while back and rightfully so. I love mine and I use it on long game days. We have a track runner so having fresh snacks in small sizes is great. We use this all the time and love it. Road trips are good too!

A fantastic on the go container that is like a bowl but not. Easy to seal, you can see through it and it is stable on the bottom.

Yes this is very expensive for a lunchbox BUT it's the best we have ever found and I don't see us every getting rid of it because it doesn't even look a day old and we've had it for over a year. My husband takes this every day to work and it's perfec...

A family favorite (if I'm being honest not the healthiest) but kids do eat it and it can easily go in the thermo for a on the go meal.
Easy CrockPot Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

My family loves chili so this is on a regular rotation. I actually don't follow a recipe because I make it so much and just use what I have. I also try and keep spices in mind so its not too spicy for my little ones.

A pasta and a protein usually go over well with my kids and it makes me happy, I make these meatballs ahead of time and it is easy to put in thermos on the go.
