Whole Foods on the Go with the PackIt System

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PackIt for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Eating a whole foods diet can be a bit tricky sometimes, especially when you’re on the go, or without a refrigerator at work. One of my biggest downfalls is that I’ll leave for the day and not bring any food with me, leaving me hungry and apt to buy food at *gasp* a restaurant that makes their food quickly. And the times that I have brought food with me, I find that it doesn’t stay cold enough, long enough. Lasting just a few hours. Todd seems to have the same issue when he brings a cooler to work. And somehow the ice packs never come home with him…..

I recently came across these PackIt lunch boxes that looks promising. Not only is it the lunch pack, but it’s the ice pack as well, so no extra bulk inside taking space from a full lunch. When empty and folded it’s only 8″x5″x2″, easy to store in the freezer without taking up a ton of space, so it’s always ready for use. The best part is, it stays cold for 10 hours!

That’s long enough for me when I spend a day in town running errands,because due to high gas prices and living in the middle of nowhere (or at least close to the middle of nowhere) I tend to take one day and do all of my business and shopping at once. That means I need to bring snacks for the littles and lunch for us all. I definitely could have used it when visiting my sister a couple weekends ago and having to drive three hours each way, plus stopping at the outlet malls on the way there. I ended up eating out instead of eating good food. Even Todd could use this to bring to work and it would last through the day.

Right now you can even check out the PackIt lunch boxes website where you can purchase one and get one free. So you get two lunch boxes for just $19.95. A great way for me to always have at least one in the freezer ready to go. Or send one to work with Todd, and still have one ready for me when I need it.

How would you use a system like this? I can easily see myself packing it with hard boiled eggs, quality cheese, fruit, and cut veggies. And with it’s long lasting ice pack, I can even add in some yogurt or a small jar of milk.

Can You Love a Measuring Spoon?

**Don’t forget to enter to win the awesome baking mix from JoshEWEa’s!**

A couple months ago I bought two new measuring spoons at Katie’s (from Kitchen Stewardship) Pampered Chef party.

I never knew I could love a measuring spoon!

See that slider? This one spoon measures from 1 teaspoon to 1 full tablespoon.

The other one I have measures from 1/8 teaspoon to 1 full teaspoon. Having these in my kitchen has made cleanup so much easier! And the fact that one little thing could simplify my life just a bit, ahhhh. It’s truly priceless.

Anyone else find so much joy in something so simple?
