What blessed little people to have a mom to put so much thought and love in their lunch and lives!

Fill a bowl with water and a pinch of salt, add the apples for 30 seconds or so pat dry, this keeps them from turning brown and they don't taste like lemon. 🙂

It’s so hard finding lunch ideas for my son on the spectrum but those hot dog roll ups at the end are going to be a hit!!! Such a good idea (:

My 6yo loves the pinwheels **TIP** Put a lil raw baby spinach in the pinwheels like you would lettuce to add veggie. Also smashed avocado.

Cool trick with the canning funnel.

As a teacher, I love how you send a well-balanced lunch for your kids!

Did you forget veggies exist? 😅

I love these ideas, even for my adult lunches. And I like how you find ways to use up stuff you already have in new ways

Another great job, Kristin! I bet your kiddos are the envy of the school's lunch room!

Great way to start my Saturday morning with a video from you Kristin. What a great mom & wife you are, always such thoughtfully packed lunches for your family. Hope you all have a wonderful fall weekend. 🍁🍂🍁🍂

Yes I’m 21 yrs old and will be making these recipes for my own lunch!!

You can use mayo in place of butter :) much easier to spread and has a higher spoke point and I promise it doesn't make it taste any different!

I love these videos! I can watch these and the ones for your husband all day.

You put so much love into your lunch making for your kids and husband. I love all your ideas and have used many for my kids. Just a suggestion for the hot dog roll ups. Cut the hot dogs "almost" in half and stuff the middle cut pocket with some cheese before rolling up the tortilla. My kids love them that way. Love all your videos.

Hi Kristin. Love your lunchbox videos!! You always amaze me with all the creative ways you come up with to make lunches nutritious and fun--for both your husband and children. Great job! Hugs.

Hi kristin love your lunchbox videos you always amaze me with all the creative ways you come up with to make lunchs nutruitius and fun for both.

I love your videos! I am hispanic and in my house we always ate our hot dogs in a corn tortilla instead of a bun and it’s the only way I can eat them now. I loved seeing you use tortillas that way in your video, it made me nostalgic 😊

Even though my kids are grown and have kids of their own, its fun to see how home packed school lunch has changed over the years. I have 5kids and worked full time outside if home so it was easier to have the kids buy lunch at school. It was pricey because they had al la carte and of course they blew thru their budget by day three lol

The tortilla wrapped hotdog is a great idea, I might try that for my adult lunchbox!

As a food allergy mama, I wouldn't recommend replacing peanut butter with Almondbutter or Nutella... those are both Nut butters. I'd recommend Wowbutter, Cookie butter, or Sunflower Butter. I love your videos though. Just wanted to share.

I love your videos and voice so much ❤❤❤❤

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have to open a real messy lunch box 😂

Those are some Great Lunches 😁 lots of variety !!

Thanks mom for sharing 🙏 this gives me a lot of ideas

Great ideas… my girls are all grown. I wish you were around then I was packing lunches.. fantastic ideas

I just started watching my Grandson last week while he was on Fall break. You gave me some great ideas. He's 5 and we are finding out how ornery he really is. He basically had cereal and milk for breakfast and a small lunchable and anything else he liked usually chips and of course milk. Thanks for the ideas. 🥰 I like bananas on the dark side to. They are sweeter.

I love I girl. Yay another video. Love all your recipes

I always enjoy your videos

Great ideas for the kiddos 😊😊😊

I just discovered you and am OBSESSED! Thank you so much for the amazing ideas...we are oficially out of our turkey sandwich slump!

Great video you’re so creative

I am a preschool teacher and all these are great ideas. Parents are always wondering what to pack for their kids to eat. You would be surprised by the amount of food kids waste. I think parents often overwhelme kids with so many choices that they often open to many things that just end up trashing .I see it everyday.

Kristen, I pop the naan rounds in the toaster and wrap in aluminum foil. It doesn’t keep them warm but it does keep them soft.

You’re a great mom!

oh my gosh!!! the candy corn mix. i must get that!!!

Lucky kiddoes!!

Hi Kristin! Great lunches! Hope you all enjoyed the school break😊

I love how you do well-balanced lunches for your kids and hubbie. I also love to see what they eat and don't eat. Thanks for sharing! Shout out to Riley for being honest that the top of her grilled cheese looked weird. :)

Girl you and those good 2 grow juices me too😂😂❤they are perfect to reuse! My families favorite ranch is eat n park but since they dont sell it in stores I go get it by the quart from the restaurant. Now you got me wanting to try the GV ranch.

I do peanut butter roll ups for my granddaughter. I ran out of bread one morning and used a tortilla. She loved it! She’d rather have the tortilla than the bread lol. What great ideas! Have a great week!

You can do a peanut butter/banana tortilla roll-up as well.

So glad to see you cut the hotdog in half. They’re such a choking hazard, even for older kids. I get nervous abt that sort of thing too when I’m not around to keep an eye on them.

Great ideas ❤❤❤❤

Love your videos xx

I'm sure you've heard this heaps but your voice is so soothing! 😊 Love your vids, watching from New Zealand 🌞💚

Peanut butter and jelly on a tortilla wrap is really good and you could cut it in pin wheels 😊 my grandkids love this way

Totally dig this❤ my girls are twins, now 21 😮 so different bit so fun to pack a lunch

Tysm, for sharing, I miss this❤👍💙💕

I love all of your videos. I get so many delicious recipes from you and others.

​@KristinStepp you're welcome, friend. Hope you're doing well this lovely Saturday morning.

I freeze the naan bread and then use the defrost setting on my toaster when I need them.

My granny always saved our juice bottles (good to grow, bug juice, etc.) and it was my favorite to drink chocolate milk out of when I stayed with to her!

Hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving.

Thank you so much! We did, I hope you did too!

You can slice the apple then hold it together with a clean rubber band on unused hair tie!

I absolutely loved all the lunches you made for the kids yum o. My kids are just as picky when it comes to grilled sandwiches if I get the bread too toasted they will not eat and they love ranch too much lol they put on almost everything they eat. 😃

Love these videos

We have a cabinet full of those Good2Grow cup heads! 😂

I buy the Land o Lakes spreadable butter with olive oil. I love it.

Fun tip to make apples more tasty for kids is cut them into cubes, shake em up in a container with lemon juice and cinnamon 😋

Now theeeese ... Definitely trying for my picky 2 year old lol. Have you thought of making a video for quick lunch ideas for when you're in a rush? Hah

I'm gonna try the tortilla wrapped hotdogs for my kids

Great video and variety. How many food breaks do they get?

looks great! what is the green thing in the bottom of the lunchbox?

Great video ❤

My daughter really liked the waffle pizza pockets. She said she'll be making something similar for her lunch tomorrow.

I bet those pizza grilled cheese would be bomb dipped in that ranch 😋

Our schools are peanut free/safe as many now are

Sun butter. If there’s a peanut allergy they typically will limit all nut butters including Nutella!

Hey Kristen! Thank you so much for the before and after information! I have been watching lunchbox videos from different sources and notice most lunchboxes have a good amount of food in them-more than my kids usually eat in one sitting. I know everyone's eating habits are different-some kids skip breakfast and eat a bigger lunch and some kids snack all day and never really eat 3 squares. My kids eat 3 squares and a small snack before bed. They are all a healthy size and very active. Do your kids eat breakfast? Do they eat a late dinner? I'm just trying to figure out why people's lunchbox amounts seem to be too much for my oldest 2 kids (ages 10 and 8). Thanks!

You need the butter spray😊

Can you share how you write your meal plan?

I was today years old when I found out you can put a regular piece of bread in the waffle maker 😮🎉

That bowl you mixed the ranch in is adorable!! Is it Walmart ??

As for your son getting both school lunch and boxed lunches with my two boys it was there friends where getting it so they wanted to eat the same thing their friends where eating

That makes sense! I’ve never thought about it like that.

cool

I wish my son would try new stuff it’s PB& J all the time it seems like lol 😂 but he eats ok at home. Idk why when he packs a lunch he won’t try new stuff smh 🤦🏼‍♀️ I add like half of a Turkey sandwich in with the pb and j just to sorta see if he will try it.

Not to be nosey, but approximately how much do you think it costs for your family to home-lunch. I have been debating on doing this with my kiddos and I don't wanna break the bank unless I have too.

Just wondering how long is their lunch time? My kids wouldn't be able to finish all that.. they have 30 minutes. Do your kids get snack time as well?

❤❤❤❤

We're do you get those lunch bags

Anyone have ideas how to send hotter foods if need to pack lunches night before.
