Bryson, thanks for visiting and I love soup for lunch, too! As for food containers, I like the Thermos food jars but most of them are too small (10 oz, so not much more than 1 cup). So, I would suggest the larger Stanley 17 oz food jar or Thermos Nissan 16-ounce Food Jar (you can see both of these on Amazon.com, and I have also seen some good food jars at Target or Walmart).

It is really easy to pack soups and chili in lunches if you have a thermos. I am a middle school student and I love to take leftover chicken chili or taco soup in my lunch the next day! My mom will be posting the recipe to the chicken chili soon. Do you have and suggestions on a good thermos for the lunch box, Meg?

Slices of a large or Mini Spanakopitas (greek phyllo spinach pies) are a favorite, also for wintertime, chili from last night’s dinner packed in a thermos with cornbread on the side.

Thanks for the idea, Julie! Sneaking in veggies is great particularly for picky eaters. I hope you will be a regular reader of my site, would love to hear more of your fabulous tips.

For an all-in-one lunch leftover, I take leftover pasta and add a bit of frozen spinach to the sauce. It’s a great way to sneak in a vegetable (since it looks like just some extra herbs and spices in the sauce) and makes lunch more well-rounded.
