Easy Cold Lunch Ideas for Work or Back to School | August 2019

[@vickiebohy7609]

I like the talking so much more than the music. I enjoy hearing about the videographer' s family preference or interactions with kids/ spouse.much more.

[@itsjustme.7059]

That peanut butter and banana wrap looked so good. I’ve never thought to put chocolate chips and granola on it. Thanks for the idea.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Adds a bit of sweetness and crunch!

[@emileecarreker2994]

That pb&j WOOOO was sickly sounding!

[@heathergibby83]

Need a shirt that says for more fun and shenanigans..I’d totally buy it. That is so me lol

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

It's been on my mind! That and a "PBJ WOOOOOOOOO" shirt lol

[@marianneblack2688]

Pb&j and classic lays. Best lunch ever

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

I think he prefers PB&J and Fritos to be honest, but he likes a bit of salty with his PB&J so either work!

[@utoobcandy]

Also quicker tip for the apple- cut in half then cut in half again and then make a small diagonal cut to get the seeds off. Less waste and more efficient.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Thanks!

[@darbirhian]

I pretty much exclusively packed cold lunches for my daughter starting school the past couple years. You can't go wrong with homemade lunchables, wraps, sandwiches, fruit and veggies. I always packed the night before as we were up so early so it was one last thing I had to deal with in the morning.

[@carolkimbell5174]

That big salad you made for Will’s lunch looked sooo good!

[@jazzefreshhh5144]

You have the best Tupperware for lunches I need some for my sons lunches!!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

I've been collecting over the years! haha

[@ease613]

Jasmine Self oh one really good box for lunches that I use bc I pack my own lunch is a bentgo box! It’s a rlly good boc

[@ThisHomeschoolingAdventure]

I saw your pin for the pb & banana wrap. We tried those for the girls for breakfast yesterday. They loved it! Thank you for the idea!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

You're welcome!

[@cathydecarles7084]

You pack what you feel like for Husband loves you and pack lunch God bless you for doing I know so many people who don’t care

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@swissmiss1212]

Still watching..just wanted to say... Will's lunches always look so good. I'm liking the hummus instead of mayonnaise idea. Gotta try that!!! Absolutely love the salad container.. gotta get one. Love you guys.

[@utoobcandy]

I always do a thin layer of PB on both sides of the bread (use about the same amount you had just spread it on both side) then jelly on one side and the sandwich will not get soggy

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

It doesn't get too soggy since he works so early in the morning and eats lunch by like...7am lol

[@marciaboyd2105]

I have not been here in a while. thank you for sharing simple and great ideas.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Well I'm glad to see ya, Marcia!

[@lifewithdanie]

Haha the walrus comment 🤣 Oh yum that salad looked really good!

[@cynthiabeard1424]

I sure hope Will appreciates the effort you put in making his lunches. There is no way I could eat that much for lunch & eat dinner too! 😄🍞🍎🍇

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Oh, he's grateful and always lets me know! He's got a high metabolism and works a physical job, so he easily eats that much haha

[@chrissy2755]

You’re awesome with the lunches! Thanks for some more great ideas! I wonder if Will would like club wraps (maybe ham and turkey, lettuce, tomato, and some shredded cheese) or a grilled chicken wrap (I like mine cold with rotisserie chicken, lettuce, and some Caesar or Italian dressing). Some other ideas I like are chicken salad on a Croissant or bread, pasta salad, egg salad sandwich or on a whole wheat wrap. Even could make mini bbq sandwiches with rotisserie chicken mixed in bbq sauce. Just some ideas I love, and thought maybe you’d as well! Wishing you and your family a great week 😃

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Those are some great ideas! I haven't done a deli wrap for him in a while.

[@maggiev9247]

Extremely fun to watch! Howling is fun too! He's excited to eat your great lunches! Trying them all! My son is a little over weight, do you have any light lunch ideas? too?

[@chelseab91]

That woo hahaha. I was expecting so much more. Your lunches always look so tasty.

[@emilychristianson8695]

Getting my first variety fun box today!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

OH yay! I hope you love it!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Another week of delicious lunches. Will is a walrus. Lol. Y'all are too funny. That salad looked delicious. I would eat it but it would give me a flare up. Ughh. Stinking Crohn's.

[@pookiesmamma]

I am a lucky Crohnnie, salad doesn't bother me. Unless there are beans or peas in it. 😁

[@accountsbook4476]

I really like that salad container but I agree salads can be a bit tricky to eat if you're pushed for time. If I had one I would pack myself a salad and have a couch picnic. Or like, the park or something I guess. More likely the couch.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Couch picnic. You're my kind of people.

[@itzkris0219]

I bought the sistema salad container for my sons lunchbox- we put a sandwich, wrap or whatever his main course is where the salad would go and use the top for fruits and veggies 🤣 we’ve also done quesadillas and used the the little salad dressing container for the salsa. I just like how compact it is and it’s one container I can put his main components in

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

OMGosh that's something I would have never thought of. You just opened my mind to a world of possibilities!

[@Emerald_Eyed_Cat]

The salad looked delicious. 👌

[@angiesteuck]

You rock the lunch making! Lol My husband and son are so picky it's hard to get fruits and veggies in them.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@stephaniebriggs9346]

He sounded like Chewbacca, lol. Wednesday sandwich sounded delicious to me. Where you a Pampered chef consultant, you hAve so much of the product? "Why don't you make salad, blah , blah." One of the reasons I love your channel !!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Chewbacca lolol!!!! And no I was never a PC consultant - I just TRULY love their products. Just ordered another set of their flexible cutting mats & a new color coated knife haha

[@jacquelinediaz1685]

Another excellent lunch video!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@jacquelinediaz1685]

Simple Wife Simple Life Your welcome

[@kathleenroman866]

I have tried looking for the tortilla wraps at a few Walmarts & they are always out. They must be good!! Also love that salad container. What a great idea. Even though I’m retired, I think it would be great to have a ready made salad for lunch!!! 🥗🥗

[@eatingitup9344]

Love your lunch videos they give me ideas for my husbands lunch. Even your kids lunch videos 😂

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@amberf3599]

I love the lunches....the sistema products are so awesome.💗

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Sistema is such a good brand!

[@HumbleVoyager]

I love lunch videos and if I get a PB&J Woooooooooo! that’s even better!! The salad looked tasty, but if it takes too long to eat, then it’s off the menu. 😎

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Yeah, he loves salad - but it wasted too much time!

[@cathydecarles7084]

You guys are so sweet I love you 💜💕❤️💗🙏

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Awww, thanks!

[@roses609]

A lot great ideals

[@dr.kryetari]

[@karolinaleszczynska3245]

Thanks for inspiration. Your daughter is very pretty, she looks like you.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Oh thank you! That's really sweet.

[@ixela7]

Great lunch ideas. I love it. Random question that you do not have to answer, but where does Will work? Very curious. Again, you obviously do not have to answer. By the way, I absolutely love your videos and your small family. Keep up the great videos. Thank you!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

He does merchandising as a vendor for a beverage company ;)

[@veronicaarges5781]

My family loves Walmart's pepperjack cheese. Where do you get those brioche buns, again. They look yummy! Enjoy your videos as always! Watching one now, while getting ready to run some errands. God bless!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Brioche buns are from Costco!

[@tiffanyharris7695]

Where do you find your tortillas? After seeing you show them a few weeks ago i went on a mission to find them and couldn't. Love your videos!! Thank you!! :)

[@emileecarreker2994]

I'm not sure where she gets them, but I've seen them at Kroger.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

I get them at walmart!

[@kelleysisler6158]

People need to stay in their lane, you pack what your husband likes! Zeeezzzz

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Sometimes they forget where to drive haha

[@juelzdante3845]

a tip : watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@diegophilip4101]

@Juelz Dante yea, been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@bentonreese8841]

@Juelz Dante Definitely, I have been watching on flixzone} for months myself :D

[@OldCritters]

I thought Will's woo was broken for a minute there lol! Good recovery Will! Oh crap I think I need a pb&j tomorrow! Instagaters Haha Great video as always.😉

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

He had his mouth full of food when he first woooood lol

[@krystellefrancoisbedard856]

Great ideas 🙏☺️

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@lindawilson290]

Good Morning, Tiffanie! Where did you get those plastic cutting mats? So cute! Can you put them in the dishwasher? ~ Also, do you plan Will's or the children's lunches ahead of time (say, a week in advance), or do you just go by what's available and try to mix it up? Many thanks, and have a great week!

[@marciaboyd2105]

I have the same ones from Pampered Chef, the green knife too :). I have large and small ones, but I only put the small ones in the dish washer.

[@lindawilson290]

@@marciaboyd2105 Thanks!

[@nfischer9637]

Great ideas,I like how you give variety for lunches. What are the mats that you use to cut/prep on ? I didn't find them in the description box,and are they reusable?

[@stacyf1354]

Pampered Chef! But I know Walmart has some cutting mats. They are reusable. They sell them at a reasonable price too.

[@QueenGoddessYume]

Salads are time consuming. I would use scissors and cut everything like a chopped salad. Less chewing and it helped❤

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Good tip!

[@kimmaried.7313]

I now have to go eat lunch early 😂😂😂

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

It happens...I'm a bad influence haha

[@jacquelyntham3490]

You are an amazing wife and mum!!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@cynthiamaybunya4622]

Peanuts butter sandwich look good for breakfast and for lunch and for dinner for snack before going to working every days a week 7 day a week some day 5 day a week peanut butter and jelly bananas sandwich

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

He'd eat PB&J that often! lol

[@caseyortiz2184]

Idk I kinda liked the walrus 🤷😂

[@lisagooding1184]

What do you do to keep the apple wedges from browning?

[@hannataylor2254]

If you’re husband had 2 would he go through a drive through to get food?

[@Will-oj1qr]

Hanna Taylor 99 times out of 100 I’d likely just go without eating honestly.

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Even when I know he's working an extra long day (that wasn't originally planned) and I tell him to pick something up, he never does lol

[@annatarani6396]

Are you going to make one with your kids lunches?

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

Yes! One went up last week!

[@knoni]

Lol someone stepped on your dog lol I mean hubby

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

😂

[@Michaela199022]

Wookie Woohoo...

[@martineo9638]

Isn't Will the one edditing? I thought he was so the "he said it was too timeconsuming to eat the salad" comment made me laugh so hard. My head made a movie of Will silently making a complaint to his wife using the vlog to do so...dont know im probably weird but thanks for making my day hahaha

[@Will-oj1qr]

Tine VO No, I don’t think I’d have time to keep up with the volume of video Tiffanie puts out. When she first started I got her started editing videos and she taught herself everything else since. And now she can record with the thought of how she wants to edit it in her head to streamline the experience. I do the “editing” on the grocery hauls. Which is technically adding visual effects more so than editing. That’s a totally separate program that Tiff doesn’t have much interest in learning the intricacies of. And I can’t say I blame her. Lol How’s that for a long convoluted answer to a simple 5 word question? 😁

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

What he said ^^^^ lol

[@Iamme38]

What is that container you are using for your Tuesday lunch i believe? I cant find it anywhere Thanks!

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

I forgot to update the links in the description box ! That would be the Bentgo Fresh - amzn.to/2YrLGqj

That's what I've been doing as of late for him haha

You need to be careful what the 🔪 don't ✂ your fingers need a surgery on your fingers

Time consuming to eat!
