Product Review: Laptop Lunches https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-laptop-lunches/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-laptop-lunches/#respond Tue, 02 Jul 2013 18:21:01 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=5170
Our friends at Laptop Lunches Bento-Ware have finally created a clever and adorable way to end the era of squished sandwiches and messy lunchbox spills!! Bento Buddies can be mixed and matched for convenience and every part of them is made to support a happier, healthier family and planet.

 From the Mouth of a Kid:

 My lunchbox is like a puzzle of all my food and snacks! I can use different color containers to mix up my lunch, and my sandwich doesn’t get squished. Mom says my lunch box is the same type kids use in Japan!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

These lunchboxes are practical, functional, and make it so easy to send my child off to school with something healthy to eat. The containers are easy to clean, no hand washing necessary. And, the containers are safe to store and microwave food! The lids even have illustrations of the type of item, which makes it easier for the kids to learn how to pack a healthful lunch! This also makes after-school a breeze.

Flavorful Features

The containers hold the proper “My Plate” USDA set portions, to easily create a delicious and balanced lunch. The Laptop lunches website even gives helpful tips for using and caring for the lunch boxes, such as making sure to “burp” the container (i.e. let the air out after filling.)

The Icing on the Cake:

The containers are phthalate, BPA, lead and PVC free. They are dishwasher safe, contain recycled materials and are recyclable. These little containers are made to last a long time and are reusable. And, they are made in the USA.

Time to Eat?!

Anytime, anywhere.

Good to Go?

The small containers have coordinating lunch bags and accessories, to hold all the components of a well-balanced and healthful lunch! These lunch bags are also the perfect size to fit in a backpack or purse ready to take to work or school!

Mix it Up!

Packing food for traveling is now no longer a stressful! With the Laptop Lunches bento boxes, packing snacks is a synch—no more overpriced airport food, unhealthy rest-stop snacking, or hunting for allergy-friendly options. And, no more smashed crackers or mushy fruit!

How to Prepare a Gluten-Free Lunchbox for Your Kids https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/how-to-prepare-a-gluten-free-lunchbox-for-your-kids/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/how-to-prepare-a-gluten-free-lunchbox-for-your-kids/#respond Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:33:57 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=4262 Go Back to School Safely

The sandwich: a perfect lunch item for kids of all ages. Whether it’s turkey, ham, peanut butter and jelly or bologna,a sandwich is a healthy, affordable and easy option for moms on the go. However, as more and more children are diagnosed with gluten allergies, parents are continuously searching for delicious gluten-free alternatives and new snacks to replace a gluten heavy lunch box. Pastry Chef and founder of Lia P Gluten Free, Diane Eenigenburg, offers her insights and advice for packing gluten-free friendly lunchboxesfor your little ones.

“As the number of children with gluten allergies rise, so does the pressure on manufacturing companies to produce gluten-free products,” says Eenigenburg. “Luckily, many local grocery stores and bakeries are now carrying specialty lines with a variety of gluten-free foods, including gluten-free breads.”

Made from soy, rice, corn or bean starches, gluten-free breads are a tasty alternative and allow you to deliver your child’s favorite sandwich each and every day. The Lia P Gluten Free line offers a variety of gluten-free breads, pizza crusts, cookies and additional products to help make a gluten-free lifestyle easy. In addition to gluten-free substitutes, Eenigenburg suggests filling lunchboxes with fruits, vegetables, meats, beans and yogurts.

“With a gluten intolerance myself, I worked diligently to create gluten-free substitutes that taste great so I could still enjoy my favorite foods,” continues Eenigenburg. “While parents of gluten-free children face obstacles with the everyday lunchbox, there is no need to stress. Creating a fun and flavorful gluten-free lunchbox is manageable and easy!”
