Laptop Lunchbox: Dinner on the run

Tonight was a swim meet for the kids, and since the host team did not have a snack bar, I knew I would need to pack our dinner to go. My two swim hard and eat lots, so I packed a nice healthy (well, sort of!) picnic dinner.

I cooked Annie’s Shells&Cheese (check out the free loot on their website) and put those into two wide-mouth thermoses. Into their Laptop Lunchboxes, I put carrots, blueberries and grapes, Back to Nature Classic Round crackers and Bear Naked Organic Trail Mix. At the meet, I purchased Gatorade for both. And, I am pleased to say, everyone seemed well fed and happy. Double bonus, both placed very well in their events!

When traveling, we often use our Laptop Lunchboxes, but this was the first time we pulled them out for a dinner picnic. They worked great, fit into the cooler well, and each kid had their own.

Do you use Laptop Lunchboxes? If so, what is your favorite non-lunch use?

    Hey, do you like your laptop lunchbox. Is it worth it or should I just stick with Target year after year.

    I really do like the Laptop Lunchboxes. It took a while to get used to packing them, and there was a time when the kids did not like them much, but now it is easy to throw lunch together, I feel as though our lunches are healthier, and more kids at school have them (or something similar). I am all for a trash free lunch!
