Family Guide and Parenting Tips

A situation such as the current crisis has led many families, or to save money or get a better diet than that offered school meals, choose children prepare pie plate at home and carried the food from home. But what we put in pra tupper cole meal?

This is also what our colleagues have raised Live to Palate, great food experts, who have sought solutions that encourage you also to read.

Tupper first recommendation: that is food that the child likes

Both Baby and more at our brother blog, kids and more, we have found this approach increasingly widespread: that children bring food from home. And let’s think about the best way to do it. And the first question is this: who is really food the child likes.

Although, of course, a balanced diet is more easily achieved by eating the widest possible range of foods, make no mistake, nobody eats everything. So my first advice is this: Put food that the child likes. Not use the lunch at school to eat spinach, liver hake fillets if they do not like. This is no time, no need to eat everything anyway.

First, no culture eats all the nutrients possible (how many of you comeríais platazo ant good fried or algae?). The second, almost nobody, within food accepted by their culture, enjoying all the food, or you feel good, or you fancy. Neither children nor us.

There is an obsession that children eat everything and I consider it a mistake. We must seek to expand their menu, they try everything they have, and that if necessary, all the nutrients. But away from home is not the time to force them to eat something they do not like, or worse, that disgusts them or to bring them more of the normally eat.

So seize the great advantage to lift food from home in Tupper: say things that they like and educate your scoops us at home, it is our duty as parents take care of this issue personally, and not leave it to some monitors the dining neither know nor our children as we may have knowledge of child psychology would wish.

Not that I say that dining carers are not good professionals, or do not have the right skills, you do not say. There will be some edges of those who pressure children to eat it all in a rather unpleasant, it will be less secure.

But either way, his obligation is not to educate our children at the table, but take care to eat without problems, if they need help and be loving to feel welcome. Nothing more. What you eat everything or almost everything is up to us.

However, before moving on to the next point I want to clarify something: to put food that the child likes in tupperware for college does not mean you have to give unhealthy food. Your diet has to be balanced with all the nutrients and mainly cooked with fresh produce, and if they are local or organic production, the better. Let’s use some options Tupperware dishes for school.

Practical issues to consider on tupper for school

The care provided to children who bring their own lunch to school is simple: they warmed up in the micro tupper if necessary and I will table service. We just have to take care of the food. Auque the truth is that we ask, and so do our partners Live to Palate, whether it is right to charge you for bringing your own food to school.

I’m not sure that the 3 euros a day is said to be charged are not excessive. If you think that is 60 euros per month plus what we spend on food savings will be relatively low, however, I’m still in favor of Tupper, because we can guarantee quality and enjoyment of food.

We have three options to bring them food: use tupperware and that the warm (no need to buy tupper BPA), use tupperware and put them in bags to retain temperature thermal or put food in thermoses. All three are valid.

What to put in the tupperware for school?

The question is, above all, into the school tupperware dishes that will be easy to eat for children and as complete as possible, even if we lack some nutrient compensate at dinner or snack.

My advice is to put a single dish. So the child does not have to be burdened with many pots and can eat easier. It is also important, I believe, that the dish is easy to eat, not having bones or scrape it away.

They are ideal spoon dishes: stewed vegetables of all kinds with vegetables (chickpeas, white beans and red lentils), vegetable stews, casseroles with plenty of vegetables that include meat or chicken or fish without rasps, stewed potatoes. They can do dishes very tasty, adapted by our pocket and filled with energy to children.

We can also include pasta: macaroni, spaghetti and all varieties. There are thousands of possible pasta recipes: with homemade mashed vegetable sauces, ham, beef, tuna or chicken. Pasta is a unique dish also assured success. It would be good to try to be changing habits and use whole wheat pasta, and much healthier food.

Rice is another basic for Tupperware. The rice, cooked with a sauce, Chinese style, with vegetables, paella or soupy. The possibilities are endless and agree perfectly vegetables and protein. We can also, if you like, use quinoa or amaranth, which are very rich in protein.

Other days we use tortillas with many ingredients, mashed potatoes, topped with tasty sauce, vegetables and meat pies and pasties for a change.

These dishes we can supplement with a salad, fruit, desserts and nuts, depending on the child’s appetite and preferences. But again, what is not to eat at that time we will have to supplement then no sense put them over things that are really going to take.

The point is that we can use the Tupperware for our children make homemade food, healthy, wealthy and like in the quantity you need and respecting individual preferences and habits of each family, whether for taste or for religious, cultural , nutritional, ideological or philosophical.

I hope these tips will serve to make you easier tupper preparing food for school and your children enjoy and are well fed.
