Wish you could send a hearty, hot meal with your kids to school? With a little help from the Kraft Kitchens, you can treat your children to a warm and toasty lunch every day of the week. All you need to warm their tummies is a thermos and some simple lunch ideas. You don't have to worry about reheating — simply pack their thermos with hot foods so that they'll be warm at lunchtime. They'll look forward to popping the lid to see what's inside. Will it be the familiar, cheesy taste of Kraft Dinner or dad's famous spaghetti? Don't forget to include some recess snacks and a beverage for a complete hot-on-the-spot lunch. Most importantly, remember to pack a fork or spoon for easy eating. These lunches will never be traded!

Tips

  • The thermos, the insulated device that keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, is a back-to-school necessity. Look for one that is large enough to accommodate your kids' favourite lunches (10 oz. size is perfect). The size is usually given on the bottom.
  • Try something new and purchase a thermos that is microwave safe. These clever items have little beads on the side that allow you to heat it up with the food inside so that lunch stays really hot.
