Prepping for School Lunch

Prepping for an Easy School Lunch

August 26, 2019 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

This post was sponsored by Stretch Island as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Can you believe that I am already thinking about fixing those school lunches? The school year is practically here as is my list of school necessities and gear. I will have 3 in school, so that is 3 times the lunches. Here is how I am prepping for easy school lunches.

School Lunch

Organized Lunch Gear

The best thing I have done in regard to lunch gear is finding a lunch box that keeps things organized. It not only makes it easier to prep, but also makes it more fun for my kids. You can find all sorts of different lunch box organization products!

School LunchSchool Lunch

Prepping the food.

Like any other meal, I try to prep ahead of time for the kids’ school lunches. I know what my kids like and can have it all picked up from Walmart before the week begins. My oldest is loving to help prep her lunch which I think is great! I make sure to have items that she can easily place in her lunchbox, like the Stretch Island Strawberry Fruit Leather.

School Lunch

Stretch Island Fruit Leather is made from a vegan recipe, 100% fruit ingredients, and no synthetic colors or artificial flavors. I can’t forget to mention there is 0 sugar added! This better-for-you option is the perfect addition to any lunch box, and my kids can pack them since they are all individually wrapped. I even love the fact that I can pick them up easily at Walmart, either while shopping inside or through Grocery Online.

Nothing like having go-to snacks and lunch items that your kids enjoy. While you are at Walmart grabbing the Stretch Island Fruit Leathers, make sure to enter the Back to School Sweepstakes!

    My son isn’t old enough for school quite yet but he’s old enough to always ask for snacks when we’re out. I always keep snacks in my bag and these fruit leathers look like a great option!

2 chicken breast ( butterfly them open)
1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs
~ 1 tbsp Aglio Olio Seasoning Blend ( Trader Joe’s)
2-3 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 roll bread of Garlic Parmesan Butter ( from TJ)
Pack of noodles ( Gigli from TJ)
4oz Cream Cheese
12oz Shredded Italian Cheese ( Quattro Formaggi from TJ)
1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese 
Mozzarella Peals 
16 oz Chicken Bone Broth
Salt & Pepper to taste ( plus salt water for pasta)

Preheat oven to 350.
Prepare noodles, drain and set aside- want to be al dente.
In small bowl, add Aglio Olio and bread crumbs to bowl and mix; butterfly chicken breasts and toss in olive oil, then cover in bread crumbs mixture.
Heat about 1 tbsp of oil in Caraway saute pan, and cook chicken for about ~4 minutes each side. Remove chicken and add cheese on top and place in oven to bake for ~15 minutes.
While chicken bakes, add the butter to sauté pan and melt; add chicken bone broth; once heated, add cream cheese and cheeses. Stir on and off ( make sure cheese doesn’t stick and burn) and add seasonings. Once cheeses have melted, toss in pasta. Sprinkle rest of cheese on top as well as scattered mozzarella pearls. Put lid on and lower heat to low, allow to cook longer to melt cheese. Serve with chicken!  #FriendsOfCaraway #traderjoesfinds #traderjoeshaul #onedish
