LEFTOVERS• Why cook twice when you can do it once?

PACK THE NIGHT BEFORE•Rest easy and avoid the morning rush

LET THE GEAR BE YOUR GUIDE•You’re more likely to use lunch products that you and your

kids likeFREEZE IT

•Make meals ahead on the weekends and pack directly into lunch containers

•Freeze bread for easy shape-cuttingHEAT IT

• Thermoses aren’t just for soup. A hot dog in hot water or tortellini in broth will be ready to eat by lunchtime.

GET THE KIDS INVOLVED•Put them to work! Kids love taking control. Engage them
