Update your meal planning with this cute doodle lunch box idea!
So…. a few weeks ago I started on the Ketogenic diet. I’m sure a lot of you have either awesome stories to go with this or words of caution. I get it. I also know that I need to make a positive change and in terms of dieting – this is what works for me without a ton of stress. Its more of I need a lifestyle change and to have control over what I’m eating because ya’ll, if there are cupcakes in front of me, I WILL eat those for my daily calorie intake. I am not even kidding.

I digress. I started some new eating habits which have been great. I’m not forgetting to eat and then grabbing lunch wherever and more often than not I have to have the “You have food at home” talk with myself. Knowing what I can and can’t have has been great for me. In the process of all of this though, I’ve really had to take meal planning to heart and that means I really wanted some cute but functional lunch containers. YEP! I packed a lunch every day for class and work. As much as it annoyed me to have to do it, it was super helpful to not worry about what I was going to eat each day.
I really like these containers because they’re glass so they’re more heavy duty and I know they’re going to clean up better than my normal plastic and I feel like overall, they’re better for the environment? Maybe? Anyway. Lunch boxes.
This is a super easy DIY and all you really need are some oil based sharpies or enamel paint and your glass container. Pretty easy right?

Make sure your glass is clean by wiping it down with some rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth.
Then Doodle! I was really feeling the triangles this time around so I just went with a repeating pattern. SarahHearts did some really beautiful doodles here and there are a ton of options. Make it your own!

Once you’re happy with your work you can cure it in an oven – Let it dry for 1 hour then set glass in a cool oven and heat to 375. Bake for 30 minutes then allow to cool in the oven as well. OR You can just leave it for a few days and you’re good to go as well. But I know ya’ll want to use them ASAP so just bake them.
