Back to School: Bento Boxes/Lunches


We are about three weeks away from the start of school and that has me in back to school prepping mode.  One out of three of my children is ready for school to start.  My oldest daughter LOVES school and like me, she loves to walk down the aisles filled with school supplies.  I love the smell of new pencils, paper, folders....I know....completely weird.

Last school year, I started working at my children's school the last three months.  During those months, my children ate school lunches, not my proudest mommy moment.  I have been at home with my kids for eight years so going back to work got us out of our normal routines and we were just trying to make it through the end of the school year.  I am returning to work at the school, but this year, I am planning on making their lunches.

I have been pinning, reading blogs and trying new recipes to make packing lunches easier.  I have found some super looking recipes and ideas.  I don't know about you, but I am fascinated with bento boxes.  Some look very time consuming but I have a found a few that could possible be a quick alternative. I also am sharing some of our family favorites that my kids love to have for lunch.
