Being organised is something that I love. It helps me feel in control, allows our family life to run smoothly and it even helps us make healthier decisions. Meal planning keeps us away from the too regular takeaways and I like to spend time each evening thinking about our meals for the following day. For the last month or so I have been giving my 4-year-old a Yumbox, most days, for lunch. I like to fill it with a wide variety of foods and today I want to share 40 great Yumbox ideas!

Recently I decided to make a cheese and onion quiche to use up some double cream and eggs that I had about to go past their best. I love frugal recipes that use up leftover items in the fridge.

Personalised lunch box from Petit-Fernand (AD – Gifted)

We were gifted the featured items in exchange for coverage. Our daughter has FPIES, which means she has quite a few allergies. Because of this, and being ill multiple times in the first 2 years of her life, Daisy isn’t the biggest fan of food. At times she can be incredibly fussy. For many months we would have days where Daisy would eat like a bird, and hardly any days where she would want to eat well. Because of this I have taken to making her a packed lunch daily, even when we are at home. I find that offering Daisy lots of variety increases the chance of her eating well that day. Also, it means I can use up leftovers from the fridge and we can cut down on our food waste too. Having a personalised lunch box also means it’s clearly Daisy’s lunchbox if it gets left at relative’s houses.
