It’s a great way to work smarter, not harder when it comes to school lunch.įirst, consider if the food being packed actually needs to be warm or hot when served. That’s what we call “cooking once, eating twice” around here. Instead, think about how you can make something like chicken and rice or soup for dinner one night and then repurpose that food for lunch the next day or over the next few days. Please don’t think I’m asking you to make any of the ideas on today’s list in the morning just for the lunchbox. The great thing about hot lunches for school is that most options can be made for dinner or lunch one day and then reheated and repurposed for the lunchbox. So if you don’t have kids in school, don’t click away.
While these hot lunch ideas work for school, most of the ideas also work for adult/office/work lunches as well. We could all use inspiration to keep going with school lunch, so today let’s talk about 8 hot lunch ideas for school.
