Hello Friends –
We decided to do another round of Mama Jess’ Favorite Lunches because they were crazy popular & we feel we need some new motivation half way through the school year. Now these are certainly perfect for our families and kids – but don’t exclude the work lunches. We think that a lot of these recipes are great for a re-charging, healthy lunch – at any age!
Please be sure to reference Mama Jess’ Lunch rules from August – click here.
A couple additional rules this time:
Ok – off to the lunches:

apple salad – organic apple, walnuts, cranberries, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 2 T yogurt (mix right in serving bowl)

Lunch box cleaning instructions.
Some of these lunch boxes can get really stained and sticky. If you have a fabric, plastic or metal lunch container, this method safely works wonders. And it’s completely safe to have little hands help – my kids love to add the vinegar for our own ‘lunchbox volcano’.
1. Add 1/4 cup of baking soda to your lunch box.
2. Get your scrub brush wet with water and make a paste with the soda. Scrub all the crevices and corners of the lunch box. Inside and out if necessary!
3. Now the fun part – add 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let bubble. Then rinse clean with water.
4. Air dry, or even better -sun dry! And here is a squeaky clean lunch box!
Enjoy these wonderful meals and tips – we have these all up on our Pinterest Good Boards too!
