Pinterest Lunch Alternatives

So, I got my brand new Dr. Seuss lunch box and I'm really working on packing my lunch this year for school.  Last year one of my best teaching friends was pregnant so we went out ALL the time!  And mornings are just not my friend (never have been).  So I went on Pinterest to look for some alternatives.

The first place I found was: Easy Lunch Boxes (I haven't bought any of their products but I love their ideas!)  

#1-Was the chicken nuggets, cheese, peaches/grapes, corn/tomatoes.  I packed an orange and a 100 calorie pack of Snack Wells.  This adorable, pink container didn't fit in my lunch box, though.  (Sad)

So I ended up putting them in small pink containers but they were kinda leaky for the peaches and corn.  And had to have my Mountain Dew to keep my caffeine up for the first week of school!  (Side notes: store brand of the no-sugar added peaches had a weird, syrupy sauce so I would definitely go with the individual, single containers by the name-brand companies. Much easier.

#2-This was the turkey/cheese in the tortillas but I went with the jalapeno/herb wraps.  Not good with turkey and cheese.  It was really overpowering and made my lunchbox smell nasty.

I also found this pin where I made my own 100 calorie packs for cheap.  So far I've done the clementines and the Cocoa puffs.  Both good choices :)


So, stay tuned for my lunch alternative adventures!  I'll be sure to post what I've done.
