My kids get sent with them usually about once a week. Any of the Chef Boyardee stuff (Spagetti-Os, ravioli, etc) or mac n cheese are big hits.

DS would pass out if I sent him with anything other than PB&J :scared1: He is such a creature of habit.
DD, on the other hand, likes nothing more than to have leftovers in her lunch. Pasta travels very well as do rice based dinners (Spanish Rice, etc). DD doesn't like stew, but I think it would go well also.

We have several first graders that come with a hot dog. THe mom puts it in boiling hot water in the AM and the slices are still hot by lunch time. He LOVES it!

We do hotdogs too. DD loves waffles. I toast them cut them put warm syrup on them and close it up. She says they are still warm and not bad. They could be cold and terrible but she wouldn't tell me because she love waffles too much.

Does this stuff really stay hot? How long does it stay warm? My husband doesn't like when I pack him things that he has to go down to his break room and heat up before eating, maybe I should try this. I hadn't thought about it.
