Pfeiffer uses a leak-proof meal box called an OmieBox to store Kaela's lunches. She puts together three or so lunches per week, which are themed by letters of the alphabet and shared on her Instagram page, @noshandnourish. She includes simple, encouraging notes using a marker on a post-it.

\"No cookie cutters required,\" she said. \"No food pens. No googly eyes required. Just real, colorful, delicious food.\"
Below, Pfeiffer shares a lunchbox inspired by the letter S, part of her #NourishABC series, that's super cozy for fall.
Difficulty level: 2 out of 10.
\"The hardest thing is making the soup the night before, but we’ll often eat it for dinner and then I’ll send it in the lunchbox the next day,\" Pfeiffer said.

Ingredients
1 bosc pear

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Peel and cut the butternut into cubes.
Cut out the core and stem of the pear and cut it into large pieces (it will be blended later, so the size doesn’t matter).
On a parchment lined baking sheet, arrange the pear and butternut into a single layer.
Brush on the olive oil and sprinkle with the everything-but-the-bagel spice. Bake for 20 minutes.
Combine the roasted pear and butternut with the almondmilk and garlic in a high speed blender. Blend on high until smooth. Serve immediately.
To prepare it for the lunchbox, follow the instructions on the thermos section of the OmieBox. Heat the soup on the stove and pour it into the thermos container. It will stay warm/hot for up to four hours.
