    Thank you for sharing! I recently quit my job to be a stay at home mom. My partner works 6 nights a week. He is out of the house 14 hours a day. I pack his lunch for him and I thoroughly enjoy doing acts of service for him now that I have the time! These recipes are so different than anything I normally do so it’s nice to have some new options.

    I love these lunches...especially because you make them man sized!! I see others that make these teeny tiny kid lunches for their husbands and I'm thinking omg, if that was my hubby he'd be starving all day!😂😂😂

    Helpful hint: cut your kiwi in half and use a spoon to go around the inside as close to the outside skin and scoop the kiwi out as a whole. No cutting off the skin. Try it. ❤

    Looks wonderful! My husband works from home, so I’ll use these ideas for my own lunchbox and for our youngest son. He just graduated and is starting a new job, so I think he’ll enjoy the personal touches of a mama packed lunch!❤

    Good ideas, i've got a helpful tip on the tortillas coming from a hispanic person to stop the cracking, if you cover them with a towel or place them in a tortilla warmer (its just a circle container to store tortillas) they finish cooking with their own steam and get that soft chewy texture that we love from tortillas

    I agree. He is lucky!! When I had a live-in boyfriend I made sure that he had lunch for his night shift and that he had clean towels for his daily shower. I also made sure that my daughter had lunch when she was working and in school. I'm excited for her to go back to both. Hell I'm even excited for when she gets to purchase her own lunches again!

    Love the pinwheel idea!! I'm not a huge pesto fan, but mixed with the cream cheese looks delicious! My SO is in construction and now that it's getting hot, these cooler lunch ideas definitely come in handy! I don't know if y'all like peas, but some thawed frozen peas in tuna pasta salad just adds to it! 😋

I’m so proud of you and Josh for making this work! Marriage can be so hard some times but the rewards are unmatchable! And it trickles down to your children also!! Kristen you are the epitome of what Jehovah says we should be as a wife! May He continue to bless you and your family sweetie!! 💞💕💕💞

    Omg my mom used to make tuna salad as kids for us as like a quick lunch in the summer but instead of celery she used just tuna, mayo, pasta shells and peas with salt and pepper! I literally completely forgot about it until this video!! Thank you for the reminder I will definitely add to my regular lunches from now on!

  • @ccl6192

    We save soooooo much money packing lunches for our work. We stopped buying food at work about 12ish years ago because we found out between the 2 of us buying lunch and coffee we were going through around $700 a month. Yes we live in a HCOL area but still. That’s a lot! We save most of it and then the rest we used to hire a housekeeper. Best decision we ever made. No more fighting over who is more tired or who did it last time. 😂
    Honestly the only drawback is that he gets tired of the same things all the time plus he’s a picky eater. He won’t eat any of my “weird” food allergy safe
    Meals but He does like almost everything you make. I always come back to your videos for more inspiration. I think I’m going to try that sausage and cheese bread and the pesto wrap this time.

    Hi Kristin, thanks for this video, full of great lunch ideas. Re your comment on short life of deli meats - we have found it really only ok for 3 days. I think it stays freshest by wrapping in greaseproof paper or in baking paper, then in a piece of foil, with a new sheet of baking paper every 24 hours. Best wishes from Sydney Australia

    If you have problems with your tortillas cracking you can either buy a tortilla warmer (I don’t know if they’d sell them in your area though). It’s a fabric disc with a small opening for tortillas on the top it’s stuffed with an insulated core that is made to stay warm for several hours. You can either keep the freshly cooked tortillas in there so they stay warm and pliable and won’t crack or you can sprinkle a tiny (a couple of droplets from damp hands will do) bit of water inside the warmer before putting the old tortillas in and then microwave for 20 seconds. They will come out soft and pliable. If you can’t find a warmer you can use a barely damp dishcloth to wrap around the tortillas and microwave for 20 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
