Lunch Box Tip - Filling the Thermos

Sometimes it's nice to send a hot lunch in a thermos for your children's lunch.  Whether it's a leftover casserole, soup, or some other concoction that goes well in a thermos, hot food on a cold day can be very comforting.  Here's a tip on how to fill that thermos with less mess.  I use a wide mouth funnel that I usually use for canning.  It fits perfectly in the mouth of the thermos, and keeps the spills to a minimum.  I also preheat the thermos with boiling water before I fill it, it keeps the food hot longer.  I hope you find this helpful!
