School Lunch Ideas with b.box Mini Lunchbox and Snack Box

[Ad- gifted products] We always do packed lunches, unless the school is doing a special meal. Our children don’t prefer the food schools make, so it’s just easier and ensures that they are getting food that they enjoy. With that in mind, I find that packing bento-styled lunch boxes is so much easier and takes a lot of thinking out of it. Looking at the box, you can see all of the compartments and figure out exactly what to put into them. Amelia was excited to try the b.box Mini Lunchbox, which isn’t really mini, but is smaller than their jumbo, along with the b,box Snack Box for her breaks. After a few weeks of using these boxes, here are the lunches she enjoyed:

Chicken, Avocado and Bacon Skewers

We aren’t a big sandwich or bread household, so one of the things we like making are bacon, chicken and avocado skewers. These are so easy to make; bake up some chicken (which I often do the night before) and cube it. Cook off some bacon and cut some avocado. We then add all of those to a stick, to create a sort of one-bite sandwich. Amelia had this with some homemade potato salad as a side. She had tomatoes and cucumbers as her vegetables, and grapes and blueberries as her fruit. We used the little divider for the b.box Mini Lunchbox, which gave enough room for some vegetables. In her b.box snack box, it fit an entire single serving bag of pop chips (BBQ Flavour), along with Oreos for her and her friends. I tossed in a few Sour Patch Kids and her vitamin as well. Inside her bag, I packed her a Raspberry Jelly Squeeze for one of her breaks.

Flavorful Bread with Wright’s Baking Cheddar Cheese & Onion Bread Mix

[Ad- gifted product] Amelia comes home from school often looking for something to quickly make. I think it’s that itch of baking – so we checked the cabinet and took a look for a bread to make for Kai’s avocado toast for breakfast. Amelia isn’t a big bread fan, but Wright’s Baking has sent us a load of different bread mixes to try out. She read off all the labels on them and settled on the Cheddar Cheese & Onion Bread Mix, which sounded the “best for Avocado Toast”.

Don’t Be a Scaredy Bear – Silly Children’s Game

[Ad- gifted product] We have a small collection of games that I would call silly. These are the ones that we often see younger ones playing again and again, on their own, as it’s just something so silly they they enjoy playing around with them. Don’t Be a Scaredy Bear is a silly game where you need to pull plasters off of a big bear, who can freak out if you find yourself pulling the plaster off too roughly.
