5 of the BEST Lunch Recipes | LOADED Lunchbox Ideas For Work & School! | Julia Pacheco

[@stageluvr91]

Don’t take this in the wrong way: but I LOVE how your food doesn’t always look perfect. People who do their videos and have everything just so set a bar so high that someone like me thinks, “yeah that’s too hard.” You give confirmation that food doesn’t HAVE to look perfect as long as it tastes great! Anyone can do it. You’re a blessing to all who run across your videos, Julia. You always brighten my day!

[@stacyrussell460]

Yes!! Love that about Julia as well. Real life isn't always Pinterest worthy. Some of her best meal ideas didn't look good, but tasted amazing.

[@jrubybowman]

I think you are the modern JULIA !!! you know?

[@dwnhminbama4275]

I agree 💯. Some if the best food that tasted or ate looked not so apperizing, but was oh so good👍

[@sandrayuen9497]

I agree! Love it when things miss the bowl and roll across the counter like at my house 😄!

[@sister2mysoul]

Yes!! Super REALISTIC for sure!! I totally get what you're saying 🙏🏽🙌🏾💛💛💛

[@lidiabeverly1284]

Omg thank you for these!! I am Active Duty Military, wife and mommy of 5, so these quick and simple lunches are awesome for us. Tried the chicken wraps and my family loved!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Oh my goodness! You definitely do it all, Lidia! First of all thank you so very much for serving our country and I am so happy to hear that these recipes will be able to help you with your busy life and family. Thank you so much for watching😉💜💜

[@katieclemm6875]

Please don't ever stop using your toddlers forks and spoons in your videos. It absolutely makes my day! It's so relatable; I do the same thing 😂

[@JuliaPacheco]

Ha ha ha ha! Thank you so very much, Katie. It is real life for sure! We are all in the same boat. If it works, use it! Thanks so very much for watching and for your positive comment😉💜💜

Being a widow it’s hard to find easy things to fix just for myself. You’ve given me so many goodideas. Thank you and love the peek of your baby girl.❤️

I am so very glad to hear that, Teresa. I’m so sorry it’s so difficult for you with meal planning. I can imagine that is very true. Thank you so much for watching and I sure hope you have a wonderful weekend😉

I know this is advertised as lunch food, but I could totally make any of these recipes for dinner, too. Love this video - thank you!

Hi 👋.

[@cindyhutchings7488]

My husband and I are both Seniors and are always looking for something easy for suppers that don't take alot of effort but are still good and tasty! We don't want the huge meals that we always had when we still had kids at home...no more meat & potatoes for us every night! Your lunch ideas are perfect for our supper! Thank you so much! Can't wait to surprise him with these. He will love them all!🥰💖

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s awesome, Cindy. They absolutely could be lunch meals and especially during these hot summer months. Thank you so much for sharing that thank you so very much for watching😉💜

[@sarahewson3607]

As soon as you said “cheesy chicken” I KNEW it was going to be something my son would love! His favorite dinner is a recipe I discovered years ago, so simple but sooo good. You mix mayo, cheese and rotisserie spice (enough to making a heaping spoonful for each chicken breast). I slice the chicken breasts in half to make two full sized out of each one, it has a better topping to chicken ratio this way. Salt & pepper the chicken and spread the mayo mixture over each one. Bake and voila! I usually serve it with broccoli, so these crescent rolls are going to be a wonderful lunch for my son. Thank you!!!!

[@JuliaPacheco]

Wow! That does sound amazing! Thanks so much for sharing that and hope you enjoy this recipe😉🙌🏼

Wow my husband loves corn dog! Your version of them makes it easy. I'm going to make the party mix to bring to a party next week!.

Hi Julia, love your enthusiasm for these lunch idea videos. The chicken stuffed crescents sounds great I'm actually tempted to try it out. Thanks for always making these videos, it's a lot of help, and in a way even inspiring. Sending you love from SAN DIEGO, Southern California 💕

That’s awesome Sabrina! I sure hope you enjoy these lunch recipes and thank you so very much for watching from San Diego. My mom grew up there so we have gone many times over the years 😉💜

I'll have to try that fruit salad with the pudding. I make one with a small box of Jello added to my cool whip (usually orange) and then add mandarin oranges, pineapple, and marshmallows. The pudding sounds yummy! Thanks for these recipes. Those chicken/ broccoli croissants sounds delicious, I'm gonna try those!! Thanks again!

[@JuliaPacheco]

That sounds super good, Nancy! Thank you for sharing that and sure hope you enjoy those chicken crescent’s😉💜💜

Ohhh boy the corn dog muffins and pasta salad looked like something I'd go for. I LOVE that fruit salad! My mom makes it for our church get togethers. She adds chopped pecans to her salad. Anyway, everything you have up there looks delicious!!! Macie is getting bigger every time you give us a peek. Thank you for the peeks. Prayers to you and your family and best wishes all around

[@JuliaPacheco]

I sure do hope you enjoy that pasta salad! And yes pecans would be amazing in that salad😉 thank you so very much for your sweet comment about our Macie girl!

Ty for sharing Julia! I want to try them all but the pasta salad and fruit salad are my faves!

[@JuliaPacheco]

I have been doing a variation of your corn dog muffins for years. (Although I've done the muffin also.) I usually cut my hot dogs into bite sized pieces and stir it into the batter mix then bake it in an 8x8 baking dish. For a dinner paired with french fries and either a fruit cup or pudding cup was my kids go to. Sometimes it was mac n cheese that was the side.

[@JuliaPacheco]

That’s a great idea, Patricia. Thank you so very much for sharing that! I sure do appreciate you watching and have a wonderful rest of your weekend😀

[@kimberlygarrett5385]

Pasta salad this week for sure!
