Going back to school is a learning curve not only for kids but for parents. As parents we have the challenge of getting our kids fed breakfast, dressed (if their young), out the door in time and packed with a lunch they will actually eat! For me, I try to get whatever I can ready the night before since I never know what the morning will bring. Will I oversleep? Will something spill or break and I’ll have to clean that up? Will I have run out of something and need a replacement?
Hormel has some products that are perfect for back to school lunches or even mom lunches because we gotta eat too! I honestly love all the varieties available and it depends on what mood on in for which is my favorite.
- Hormel Natural Choice® deli meats (available in two new varieties-cherrywood smoked ham & sundried tomato turkey):
- When paired with other healthy options like whole grain breads, and a side of fresh fruit with non-fat yogurt as a dip, a sandwich of Natural® Choice® deli meats can be the foundation of a healthful lunch.
- Hormel® pepperoni stix: these individually wrapped portions are the perfect size to pop in a lunchbox and are packed with protein. Also available in turkey pepperoni!
- Hormel® REV® wraps. Hormel® REV® wraps are the perfect after school snack to fuel an active lifestyle with 15 grams of protein or more in each wrap, providing real, sustaining energy. They are available in eight different, delicious varieties!
- Hormel® Compleats® cheesy pasta: made with real cheese, the new line offers a variety of satisfying flavor selections for consumers to choose from.
- Varieties include: Macaroni and Cheese, Smoky Bacon Parmesan Rigatoni, Creamy Cheese and Basil Tortellini, Three Cheese Chicken Pasta, Cheesy Ravioli and Italian Herb and Cheese Rigatoni.
- SPAM® meals: straight from the pantry to the microwave, SPAM® meals take out the step of preparation and offer a convenient meal solution.
- Available in SPAM® and Roasted Potatoes with Gravy, SPAM® and Penne Pasta in Alfredo Sauce, SPAM® and Penne Pasta in Alfredo Sauce, SPAM® and Sausage Jambalaya, SPAM® and Red Beans with Rice
Honestly, I admit i have never tried SPAM. I love the nostalgia surrounding it and its history how it was introduced during the wartime. My husband has tried it and says it very salty. People like though as according to Wikipedia, “In 2007, the seven billionth can of Spam was sold.” I can’t even imagine how much has sold by now!

I like the Hormel Natural sliced meats. Do not eat the Spam! It tastes awful. I was given this when I was a kid and it is awful. I like the Hormel Completes they taste good. And I have seen the Rev sandwiches, but I have not tried them yet. Maybe soon.
