packing lunches
Assembling portable food
Packing lunches is preparing portable meals, typically for children to take to school or for oneself to bring to work.
The phrase evokes domestic routine and parental care: I spend my mornings packing lunches and finding lost shoes.
It often appears in discussions of busy family life or healthy eating habits.
