It was really hard to carry on with daily activities and life knowing our fellow Texans were going through so much devastation due to hurricane Harvey. Please donate in anyway you can, every little bit counts and helps a lot.
Cool Calm and Mom will you be posting how you make the chicken patties? Also interested in the yogurt sauce your daughter likes do you use Plain Greek yogurt and then add spices ?? I buy mine at Trader Joe's but would love to make my own
Ya I live in Texas and got hit by the hurricane but I thank god that I live on a high subdivision so I didn't get flooded I just got really bad roof leaks
How wonderful. My youngest is now in first grade and he is over excited that he is not the youngest class in school but KG is such a great age. Thanks so much for watching and I am glad these ideas were helpful.
I stumbled upon your channel and love the unique items you pack your family, especially the taco boats!! I just started vlogging and made my first What I Ate Today video but haven't done a lunch video yet! I will have to do one in the future.
I became a mom at really young age too and being a working mom I always used to pack for my kids even when they went to daycares, you will go great at lunches. Thanks so much for watching!
Shannon Hover That's the best compliment I have ever received on my videos. Thanks so much. Hope you are all better now. Sending hugs and best wishes. 😊
Love this!!! As a Muslim women and mother with young children i find it hard to make halal lunches for them but this has definitely helped !!! Thank you. I would love to see some cooking videos !!!
Katherine Victoria thanks so much. I have struggled with that all my motherhood. My kids have been going to daycares and Montessori as babies and I have been packing it since then. So my lunch solutions were really due to the need I had lol. I am so glad these videos are being helpful. Please share if you can. Thanks for watching
Cool Calm and Mom it is difficult especially once the kids can notice they aren't able to have those popular lunchables or McDonald's chicken nuggets. These video definitely have helped thank you so much
Just stumbled onto this channel while looking up ideas for Yumbox and I love it. This is my first video and Im just on Tuesday but I am loving the ideas already. Thanks! Ill be checking it out on a daily basis. JazakAllah!
Those ideas will really help me a lot, school's starting in about a week and my son doesn't like sandwiches at all, so it was really hard for me to figure out a way to pack him food that is healthy yet fills him up 'till the end of the day. Thank you so much and happy Eid :)
I am so glad my videos are being helpful. I know sometimes my kids need a break from sandwiches too, so always good to have options on hand. And Thanks so much!
Kim has the best snacks! I have to try other flavors too. Breakfast for lunch was actually requested by my kids once and I didn't think they would like it but they have been so it's working well as lunch :)
Great lunches! The Sistema containers are my favorite so thanks for giving me new ideas on how to use them. FYI, if you have a TJ Maxx or Marshalls nearby they are much cheaper to purchase there then at The Container Store.
You know I have tried looking but never get lucky enough to find them at TJ Maxx.lol Thanks so much for watching I am so glad my videos are being helpful.
Cool Calm and Mom 😂I know you're absolutely right.. it's really expensive here in Canada especially when you have two kids or more .. yes he did enjoy his first day a lot alhamdulilah.. when we went there to pick him up he turned his back and he didn't want to come home hahahaha.
I was about to say that looks like plenty of food for your husband and then I saw your comment about how he said it wasn't enough food for him lol yeah it takes a lot to fill up a man's tummy!
Loved the breakfast idea! Going to have to use that one! Have you tried to Kodiak Pancake mix? It's got a ton of Protein in it and they taste amazing! The chocolate mix are my favorite! Almost tastes like cake!
Cool Calm and Mom I've seen them everywhere! Wall Mart, Target or any grocery store you have! The original is good as well but I always add some cinnamon and vanilla extract to it!
I had no idea you lived in Texas. So sorry to hear that you and your families have been affected by this devastating hurricane...My brother actually lives in Houston and he has been volunteering at the shelters non-stop. But it Looks like things are finally starting to calm down, InshAllah. My prayers go out to all of you. Xoxo.
Iman, we were not impacted Alhumdulilah but live close to cities that were. Thanks so much for your prayers and well wishes. That's really generous of your brother to help out!
Alhamdulilah! This tragedy can definitely have an emotional impact on those who weren't affected directly but regardless, I'm happy to hear you're all safe! Xoxo!
Dani R I asked them if they cared to have warm taco meat and they didn't. So just gave it regular container. And same with waffles. They don't mind eating at room temperature. But you can always use thermos or Aladdin containers to keep it warm if you like.
Cool Calm and Mom I was thinking the same thing my little guy just started Kindergarten today and I have the sistema cube a little smaller then the one you have, I was worried about the food being warm but to be honest when he eats it at home it's room temp by the time he finish playing and eats it hahaha. I'll do waffles for lunch tomorrow I've got to get the squirt bottles for his honey thanks again so much.
Can you tell me what kind of container the insulated bowl is that you showed with the pasta dish? Is it hard to open? My son is having trouble opening his funtainer so I am looking for an alternative
It's brand name Aladdin from Target. My 6 year old can open it. but it only keeps food warm for 2-3 hours. Here is a link of my video showing all containers in detail. ua-cam.com/video/KDW7mKSoc-o/v-deo.html
Thanks so much Lieu. Try giving them all taco toppings and meat or grill chicken cut up in pieces and cut up the tortilla in 4 pieces or so, maybe they can just eat with fork and take a bite of the bread or tortilla. My youngest one had a hard time eating wraps or naan roll and that's how he got used to those :)
Yumbox does not keep the lunch warm. The speciality of Yumbox is that it's a leak proof bento style container that way you only have to pack one box with wet and try items and it keeps them separate, and kids don't have to hassle with 2-3 different boxes. For warm lunches I use containers that can keep it warm like Aladdin or Thermos. I have a detailed video on lunch containers. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/KDW7mKSoc-o/v-deo.html
It was really hard to carry on with daily activities and life knowing our fellow Texans were going through so much devastation due to hurricane Harvey. Please donate in anyway you can, every little bit counts and helps a lot.
Cool Calm and Mom will you be posting how you make the chicken patties? Also interested in the yogurt sauce your daughter likes do you use Plain Greek yogurt and then add spices ?? I buy mine at Trader Joe's but would love to make my own

How do you keep the food warm? Like the ground chicken and the waffles and stuff?! I struggle and worry my sons food doesn't stay warm.
Dani R I asked them if they cared to have warm taco meat and they didn't. So just gave it regular container. And same with waffles. They don't mind eating at room temperature. But you can always use thermos or Aladdin containers to keep it warm if you like.

sujood zalabani Thank you. Eid Mubarak to you too.
Wow, you make such nice lunches. I wish my kids would eat tacos.
Thanks so much Lieu. Try giving them all taco toppings and meat or grill chicken cut up in pieces and cut up the tortilla in 4 pieces or so, maybe they can just eat with fork and take a bite of the bread or tortilla. My youngest one had a hard time eating wraps or naan roll and that's how he got used to those :)
Thank you for the lunch ideas

Try carrots and Ranch dressing and a salad with blue dressing and maybe they will like it
Micheala Baldwin Great idea! I will try a salad soon.

How well do the Yum boxes keep how lunch warm by lunch time?
Yumbox does not keep the lunch warm. The speciality of Yumbox is that it's a leak proof bento style container that way you only have to pack one box with wet and try items and it keeps them separate, and kids don't have to hassle with 2-3 different boxes. For warm lunches I use containers that can keep it warm like Aladdin or Thermos. I have a detailed video on lunch containers. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/KDW7mKSoc-o/v-deo.html
