Lunch boxes for back to school might be the last thing you want to think about in August, what with the smell of Coppertone still lingering on your skin and sand still wedged between your toes. But some kids go back to school as early as next week. Now I have tons of ideas for cool school lunch recipes, but before you pack those lunches, you need to think about what you will be packing them in. Gone are the days when you were limited to the basic metal or plastic box. Today's lunch boxes come in all shapes and sizes, are often made from recycled materials, come with cute little insulated containers or compartments, and well, they're cute as a button!Take this Mini Bento Box from Zorjirushi. It has a vacuum insulated jar that can keep foods like macaroni and cheese or tomato soup warm. Plus, it has two smaller containers that are perfect for cheese and crackers or carrots and dip. And it comes in a cute lightweight reusable bag.
