Every kid’s favorite dinner also works for lunch.
For parents of young kids, spaghetti is a real blessing. It’s a dinner that your kids are always happy to eat, yet is actually reasonably good for them. And on top of that, it’s cheap and easy to make.
So, with all that this kid-friendly dinner has going for it, why confine it to the dinner table? Why not serve it for lunch as well?
With EasyLunchBoxes, it’s easy to keep a serving of spaghetti and sauce neat in a kid’s lunch box. Just portion out four ounces of spaghetti into the large main container, then add some steamed broccoli and grapes on the side. You can use leftover spaghetti from dinner, or take 20 minutes to whip up a fresh batch in the morning.
Toss a fork in with your Spaghetti Easy Lunchbox Idea to eat it with, and your kid – or you – can enjoy a delicious spaghetti dinner in the middle of the day.
