I saw a tidbit on the Today Show Recently that I thought I'd share because I tried it to get my toddler and school aged kids to eat better. My hubby and I have a weakness for a local Thai food place. We love their noodles. We've gotten this quite regularly recently, and my middle daughter noticed that we get "take out" more than they do. She thought, rightfully so, that it was a little unfair. So, in an effort to stick to a budget and to waste less food, last night when I was ordering take out on the way home, I suggested to my hubby that he make up something quick for the girls and serve it in individual take out containers that we had left from previous orders. It was a win/win. We've thrown less plastic containers away or in the recycle bin- instead we reuse them, and the girls each got individual containers of chicken and white rice- a perfectly bland meal for picky little kids. They were ALL SMILES! They ate most of their meals and even tried ours. The show made a good point- everyone likes presentation. Next up- we're going to try this with lunches we send to school!
