I've never heard of bento ...Thanks for the comment. I've never heard of bento egg molds. I'll have to look them up. They sound pretty cool. My children's school does have a couple of microwaves available but my son usually just eats them cold. Pizza too. I'm with your daughter. I really don't care for cold meat much, but I guess if they like it, I'm not going to complain. When you said protein on her salad, I thought cut-up chicken but I guess if she doesn't like cold meat, that wouldn't work. Have you tried something like bacon bits or chopped ham? Might not have the same ickiness factor that other meats do.<BR/> I'm glad you got some ideas though. I never thought that blogging would be so much fun. And I'd get to meet so many new friends. Thanks for visiting. Hope you can come back again.Born Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368081527366573271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979011669442986564.post-19934073738208794252008-10-06T15:43:00.000-07:002008-10-06T15:43:00.000-07:00thanks for the ideas. I did write a listing too.....thanks for the ideas. I did write a listing too.....my ds eats EVERYTHING so his meals are always fun and a snap to make. My dd? Salad. yes, salad. That is great but so hard to get some protein into it.<BR/>I give her boiled eggs. I use those little bento egg molds to make them cute.<BR/>Do your kids get to reheat stuff like burgers and hot dogs or do they just eat them cool? My dd won't eat cold meat.....getting her to eat ANY meat is somewhat of a chore and she gets tired of wraps all the time. *sigh* <BR/>Thank you again for sharing your insights with other moms!Yarni Gras!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03028237893356674106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979011669442986564.post-54980919110667057862008-10-04T06:49:00.000-07:002008-10-04T06:49:00.000-07:00Thanks for all of these great ideas!

It involves heating a thermos with very hot water, drying it, and then putting the warm food in immediately and closing it up. She apparently sends hot things with her children that way quite a bit.<BR/><BR/>I have started home schooling but her online school doesn't begin until September so I have been giving her stuff to do until then. So far so good.Born Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368081527366573271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979011669442986564.post-37823728754396482202008-08-26T17:06:00.000-07:002008-08-26T17:06:00.000-07:00Great tip about freezing just a little of the drin...Great tip about freezing just a little of the drink. Sounds great for keeping stuff cold. However, what do you do for the hot stuff? You mentioned pizza, burritos, etc. Do the kids have access to a microwave, or are you able actually to keep the stuff hot?<BR/><BR/>BTW, have you started the homeschooling stuff yet? How is that going?beksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724637942561747185noreply@blogger.com
