[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What types of foods do you put in the thermos?  What other containers do you use for non-thermos foods?

We tried a quesadilla yesterday but my daughter said it was soggy and didn't eat a bite.  Are there any foods that do well in thermoses?  I was thinking of pancakes or something, but then what container do I use for the syrup/fruit/carrots?  Thanks in advance![/quote]

Pancakes and quesadillas are both fine cold.  Packing them in a thermos would just make them soggy.

Soups, stews, rice and beans, fruit salad, pasta, things that have a liquid component basically, are what does well in a thermos.  [/quote]

Thanks!  Do you heat up the pancakes/quesadillas the morning of and just pop them into a lunchbox without a cold pack so it's essentially room temp by lunch?  Or do you pop them into the lunch cold/room temp?  [/quote]

I never actually sent pancakes, because my kid prefers waffles, but I'd toast those and throw them in, because untoasted they're gross.  Quesadillas if we had them for dinner and there were left overs they'd go straight from the fridge.  If I made them in the a.m., they'd be warm when they went in.  [/quote]
