I am so excited to tell you about what could be coming to your child's classroom soon! With the Sprout by HP, you have seen it help me to create my Big Hero 6 lunch, scan in and print off my child's art projects in 3D, make holiday crafts, and much more. Well guess what? HP has ramped up the power and are releasing the Sprout Pro made especially for the classroom. I have seen first hand not only what the Sprout can do, but how my kids learn from it. 

How to Make a Quick But Tasty Adult Lunch

Adults have to eat too! Sometimes you need a quick and easy lunch, but you are tired of the same old thing. You think you might just go on a fast instead of eating another boring sandwich and chips. Here is an idea to help with that! This lunch gives you tons of flexibility on what to create with the ingredients.

I am a firm believer that everything is more fun on a stick and this lunch is no exception. I made two vegetable kabobs with grape tomatoes and mini Persian cucumbers. The other kabob is alternating chicken and cheese. Now here is where this gets interesting. I filled one compartment with humus and the other with mini tortillas that I made. The tortillas were easy, I just used a glass on top of a regular flour tortilla to make perfect mini circles. This is what gives you the flexibility to make your own small pita pockets with chicken, cheese, vegetables, and hummus, or the other option is to just dip the tortillas in hummus and eat everything else on its own!

I hope this helps take your own lunch to the next level. I packed it in an Easy Lunch Boxes container like I do with some of my kids' lunches. Have a great week and remember to follow me on all of my social media so you never miss out!

How to Make a "Build Your Own Soup Bar" For Busy Families

This post has been sponsored by Campbell's Soup. I have been compensated but all opinions are my own.

We've all been there. The baby's screaming, the middle child has stolen the oldest kid's shoes, and the dog just helped himself to your family's entire lunch. Oh and by the way you need to get one child to their soccer game and the rest to their friend's house. It's almost as though you need four parents to get everything done. Or maybe just you and three security officers. That's where this build your own soup bar comes in. It's tasty, fast, can be prepped the night before, and even little kids can make a cup with a little help from adults!

The best part of this idea is that you don't even need to do the soup bar at home! Because it uses a Keurig machine and Campbell's Fresh Brewed Soup Kits you can even take it to sporting events, play dates at the park, or to the local amusement park for a dinner break in the parking lot! I'll show you how later in this post. But first, read on for the simple ingredient options to make your next hot meal easy and fun for the whole family. 

Ingredients: Campbell's Fresh Brewed Soup Kit (Homestyle Chicken and Southwest Style Campbell's broth K-Cup pod), bacon pieces, shredded cheese, oyster crackers, tortilla

How to Make a Super Easy Spider-Man Lunch

Sometimes all it takes to take a lunch from boring to awesome is a few props. I made this lunch for me kids with just a little effort and a few extra items that I had laying around. I added a sticker (with the back on) that says "Super" and a plastic Spider-Man ring. The yogurt is a pouch that is Spider-Man themed as well. For the lunchbox I used an Easy Lunch Boxes container. 

I made a strawberry sandwich with cream cheese and whole wheat bread. I topped it with blackberries. The spider is black edible modeling dough. For the side there are three options. You can use dried blackberries, black bean pasta, or black rice.

The main point is that a fun lunch can take many different forms and doesn't have to take a ton of time. So have fun with it and your kids will too!
