making lunch for my kids is possibly the most stressful thing in my life right now. their school is both nut-free and meat-free.
my options are sooooo limited!

She buys lowfat milk every day and I often send a yogurt that doesn’t fit in the little box. I just tuck it in the lunch bag.

Just wanted to point out that although Madison’s lunch does lack calcium, she’s getting plenty of fat and protein from the peanut butter. One less thing to worry about!

[...] we’re back on lunches I wanted to point out a couple items sent to me after last week’s Simplified Bento post. Sheryl of This Mouse sent along the idea to use silicone cupcake liners in your lunch boxes. [...]

Just wanted to mention that you can also use paper and foil cupcake liners to help separate flavors…the foil ones will keep the peanut butter where it belongs. (I have the silicone liners on my list of things to buy!)

I love those Sheryl. We have to run to Target today anyway.

I used coffee filters and they worked fine for the meat and cheese but the peanut butter oils just made a disgusting mess.

Something that works really well for these boxes are the silicon cupcake holders. They’re colorful, you can reuse them, and they’re flexible.

Also, you can use a small biscuit cutter to cut your meat into circles.

That is awesome. I need to do something like that for my lunches.

Oh, I love the Bento Boxes! Thank you for the tip!

I also like how you used a simple square container though. Excellent. Did you put the peanut butter into wax paper?
