Peanut Butter & Honey... Celery?

My brother wasn't feeling well this last week, out with some kind of stomach BuG. In any case, I saw him prepare a celery stick with peanut butter... YUM, a good snack. Then he pulled out the honey and started to drizzle it on top as if it was a PB+H sandwich. I asked him if it tasted good. He said he didn't know. Then he took a big bite. "YEP" it tasted good. I haven't tried it yet, maybe when I get home (I didn't want to catch his germs), but it seems like a good alternative to a Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich.

Cool containers

My kids take cold lunch most days. It is less expensive this way, and I feel they get a better lunch. The problem is what to send. The fruits and veggies that come pre-packaged from the store are spendy, I have plenty of stuff that I canned myself, and who wants peaches, corn or applesauce in a baggie. Sending them with containers gets expensive because they don't come back, remember the ziploc commercial with the tupperware chained to the kid? Well I found a great solution. These solo containers. I buy mine at Cash and Carry. If you don't have one see if there is a restaurant supply store near you. They are inexpensive and I can put all sorts of stuff in them. They come in various sizes, bigger for fruits and veggies, or smaller for dips and salad dressings.

Some of the things I send are corn, applesauce, peaches, pears, green beans, peanut butter (to dip apples or celery), ranch dressing (to dip carrots or celery). The possibilities are endless. Cold lunch will never be the same again!
