If you are someone who is ready to celebrate National Camping Month, then June is your month!
Let’s be clear though; I don’t know the first thing about what you need to take on a camping trip! I’m not a fan of camping (no matter how many times my husband tries to convince me otherwise). I prefer to have running water, electricity, and a real bed.
Here are some must-haves (including a trustworthy Maglite Flashlight) that even a never-camper like me would suggest taking on your adventure:
Yeah, yeah, yeah… we’ve all been grumbling about wanting to get back to a normal life. But even though today is National Picnic Day, we can still have fun. Even the smallest of outdoor spaces-or just your living room- can accommodate a cozy little picnic. Here are the essential items and travel tumblers that you’ll need to have a celebratory picnic:
How many days a week do you get takeout for lunch?
vs.
How often do you pack your lunch?
Getting takeout is definitely the easier option- no meal prep or planning required, no dishes to do later, and more choices. But it is more expensive, and can definitely tempt you to eat foods that you should probably avoid.
Today is #PackYourLunchDay, a day where you can take the first step towards packing your lunch on a more regular basis, and becoming more mindful about what you eat. Once you start prepping your own meals, it is so easy to eat healthier.
Some easy things to pack beyond the boring ol’ sandwich:
Hardboiled eggs
Endless types of salads- pack them full of protein!
Rice/grain bowls- add protein and veggies
Soups & stews
Here are the necessary travel tumblers and Thermos items to help pack your yummy lunch:
For Your Food- keeps it hot for up to 9 hrs or cold up to 14 hrs & comes with a built-in spoon!
For Your Water-
For your post-lunch caffeine break- keeps drinks hot for 7 hours-
Okay, so January was National Soup Month, but (surprisingly) the people on the holiday scheduling committee decided that soup needed more attention. Today is Homemade Soup Day!
These are my top soups that I like to make from scratch:
Broccoli Cheddar with Sausage
Beef Vegetable
Salmon Corn Chowder
What is your favorite soup to enjoy on a cold rainy day? If you have any leftovers, take some to work in your insulated food jar or travel tumbler:
Mmmm… what better way to warm up in the winter months than to eat a cozy, hearty soup? January is dubbed National Soup Month, so how about making a different one each week?
On my menu this week is Broccoli Cheddar Soup, which will stay warm in my travel tumbler or travel Thermos food jar if I need to eat lunch on-the-go.
