How to "Tackle" an on-the-go-lunch


     I created this Bento Box style lunch for my 3 year old for a road trip. She absolutely loved it and it was much easier to eat out of, not to mention more eco-friendly, than giving her 10 plastic bags full of food. I also decided to use it for myself for long trips home from work, as an alternative to the fast food fix.
     I looked for an affordable Bento style box everywhere but was unable to find one affordable enough for my budget so I got creative and decided to look in unexpected places. For around $3.98 I found this awesome Tackle box in the fishing section of my local grocery store.
     For this particular "Tackle" Lunch I used:  Turkey Sandwich shapes, String cheese, Fresh and dried fruit, goldfish, and a low sugar scone. Be creative! With adjustable slots, there is no limit to what you can put inside. :)
