To that end I got a book (Bento Boxes: Japanese Meals on the Go by Noami Kijima). I ususally cook and pack the meals at night then my daughter warms them in the microwave and packs them in the insulated case. She says that most of the time her food is still warm when she eats it (she heats her food at about 8am and doesn't eat luch til 1p)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1133478185059444592005-12-01T15:03:00.000-08:002005-12-01T15:03:00.000-08:00" reading your posts makes me happy inside. :)" A..." reading your posts makes me happy inside. :)" <BR/><BR/>Aww, that's so sweet!!<BR/><BR/>Hi, jamie -- I *wish* I shopped at Whole Foods, but there isn't one in my area.

They do have soy, I'm afraid, but I am making a list of which of the recipes are allergen-free for my cookbook. All are free of egg and dairy, of course, and a lot are soy-free, too. :-)<BR/><BR/>I will definitely be letting everyone know when the cookbook is going to be available. Right now I'm still writing it, so it's hard to say. Thank you for your kind words re. the photos!

I never send anything that has to be eaten warm. <BR/>For bagwasher: when I send "pizza" for my kids, I send it "Lunchable" style. I toast a whole wheat English muffin and wrap it in a plastic baggie outside the lunchbox. I put pizza sauce in the lidded container and mozzarella and pepperoni in one of the smaller containers. I include a frozen applesauce cup (the individuals freeze great and are a perfect fit!) and put celery and carrots in the large container. They can assemble the "pizzas" themselves and don't mind eating it cold.coolbeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10574277376377362824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1133414929533853022005-11-30T21:28:00.000-08:002005-11-30T21:28:00.000-08:00These pizzas look amazing!!

By the time lunch comes around they are no longer hot, but he doesn't mind eating them at room temp. <BR/><BR/>If something really needs to be hot, like soup, I put it in the thermos. I put a note in his lunch box that says "Don't forget your thermos!" to help remind him it's there.

You seem to have quite a few lunches which look like they should be eaten warm. Do they stay warm until lunch, or does he like them cold anyway.<BR/><BR/>I have these lunchboxes for my kids and also a thermos which I use for hot things. However one of my daughters cannot remember to eat from the thermos and it always comes home full. I am wondering about putting the warm things in the lunchbox anyway, but she says she doesn't want to eat them cold. I am just wondering how this works for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1133412318298716342005-11-30T20:45:00.000-08:002005-11-30T20:45:00.000-08:00Oh my goodness I NEED the cookbook as soon as poss...Oh my goodness I NEED the cookbook as soon as possible!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1133407728909696292005-11-30T19:28:00.000-08:002005-11-30T19:28:00.000-08:00Oh my.
