Dylan
and I have been taking advantage our Disneyland Annual Passports as well as the
slow tourist season (January-February) and have been spending our Tuesdays at
Disneyland. After 3 visits, I realized that:
- I am spending way too much money for my toddler to eat and
- he's not eating the healthiest of meals when we are there.

My kids love apples but they don't want to eat them if they are even slightly brown. How do you keep apple slices from turning brown in a lunch box? Thanks for any tips!
Laura,
Try rubbing them with the inside of a half-cut lemon. It should keep the brown away without making them taste too lemony. Also, I slice a half, but keep all of the pieces pushed together, as though they were still attached. it also reduces the amount of air that touches the apple flesh. Hope that helps. :)
Mia - Thanks for your helpful response! Kristine said that she buys Trader Joe's Organic Apple Slice. They are presliced, stored in a resealable bag, and they're soaked in natural minerals to retain color, flavor, and freshness. She said she can have them in her bento box for 5+ hours without them getting brown.
