Detours & Second Chances
written for @steddie-week Day 5 prompt: Reunion / Getting Back Together Rating: T | wc: 3545 | no cw Another big thank you to @sidekickjoey and @thefreakandthehair for giving this a beta read for me! Read on ao3
Steve had high hopes for this road trip.
Just him, the twins, and the wide open roads with the promise of the beach and Disneyland on the horizon. He knew better than to plan it down to the second, especially when traveling with Mabel and Ollie, but he did hope to keep to some kind of schedule. A few nights here, a couple of nights there, a handful of free time hours carved into nearly every day so the kids could pick which tacky roadside attraction they could visit and then gloat to Aunt Robin about seeing.
What Steve hadn’t planned for was the Winnebago going up in smoke four and a half hours from Disneyland on I-15.
The good news is that it happened just as they entered Las Vegas, Nevada, and not thirty minutes later in the middle of the Nevada-California desert. The bad news is that it happened just as they entered Las Vegas, Nevada on a Sunday afternoon when everyone was trying to leave.
Steve expects the drivers around him to curse and flip him off. At the very least, he imagines them shaking their heads in disapproval as they slowly inch past the smoking Winnebago broken down in the middle of the three-lane highway. And there is some of that, honking horns and judgmental gazes, enough that he has to explain to Mabel and Ollie that showing someone your middle finger is not nice and no you shouldn’t do it to each other. But there’s also a handful of Sunday travelers who take pity on him.
Two truck drivers manage to get their rigs off onto the shoulder and then mosey their way over to see if they can help Steve identify why the RV is smoking. A woman in a mini-van full of preteens in sports jerseys offers him an entire ice chest full of snacks for Mabel and Ollie. Some good Samaritan even makes the half-mile hike to the nearest pay phone to call for a tow truck so Steve doesn’t have to leave the kids or make the track himself with them following behind him.
Forty-five minutes later, they all climb into a yellow taxi while Winnie the Winnebago gets towed away. For a moment, he thinks he’s ruined the entire vacation, but listening to Mabel and Ollie talk about how cool it was to watch the “toe man” do his job eases the guilt.
Unfortunately, the repair shop is nowhere near as exciting as standing in the middle of I-15 — at least, that’s what Ollie tells Steve five minutes after they’ve walked into the garage. Steve tries his best to keep everyone’s spirits up in between filing out paperwork and bargaining with the mechanic over the price of the repairs. He lets the kid raid the vending machine and spread it all out on the worn plastic chairs in the makeshift lobby like some kind of five-star buffet. It’s mainly cookies and chips, a few candy bars, and a granola bar Mabel even generously spent $1.10 on for him.
It’s not the worst meal they’ve had on the trip — that honor goes to the gas station in Kearney, Nebraska, and the hot dogs he knew were a bad idea — but it’s definitely the least nutritious. And, in hindsight, it’s not the best idea now that Mabel and Ollie are hyped up on sugar in a small space with no central air conditioning. He gets it. He’s almost at his wit’s end, too, and he has several decades of patience over them.
He’s hot and tired and so frustrated, he’d break down and cry if he could, but he doesn’t want to upset the kids or ruin the day more than it’s already been ruined. Instead, he puts on his brave Dad Face™, leaves his pager number with the mechanic’s receptionist, and takes the kids to explore Las Vegas.
The city wasn’t on their list. It’s not kid-friendly, and the July heat is anything but welcoming, but thankfully, they luck out and stumble across a hybrid game and music store a few blocks away from the repair shop.
The bell above their door announces their entrance to the quiet storefront as the sweet, sweet relief of the AC hits them. Steve closes his eyes, soaking in the cool air for a moment before Mabel and Ollie are tugging on his hands, trying to drag him in different directions.
Steve knows he should put an end to their bickering that borders on full-on sibling bullying, especially judging by the way they’ve dropped his hand in favor of pinching each other’s arms, but he gets distracted when a figure emerges from the back of the shop.
The footsteps are uneven, which makes sense when an ornate cane enters Steve’s line of sight. He studies it, taking in the impressive woodwork and paint job — Max’s own can is pretty spectacular, but this one is a close second. Soon, his eyes drift from the cane to the hand holding it, a ring on each finger. Silver and gaudy and eerily similar to—
“Holy shit,” the voice says. “Are my eyes giving out on me too, or is Steve Harrington really standing in my shop right now?”
Steve’s eyes shoot up to meet the man’s face — to meet Eddie’s face. It’s been years, shit, almost a decade he thinks, but Eddie looks the same. Older, sure. A few wrinkles around his eyes and a softer belly. But he’s still him. Unruly curls barely contained in a bun at the base of his neck, mischievous eyes, and a smile that makes Steve’s stomach flip in a way it hasn’t done in too long. Yup, definitely him.
“Eddie?”
Eddie laughs, throwing his head back with the same carelessness as he had at twenty years old. Only this time, when he rights himself, he has to reach a hand up to his neck to massage the ache. “Man, this is some cosmic, universe shit!”
“At least it’s the good kind this time,” Steve jokes.
Eddie goes for a full-on hug, Steve an awkward side one, and as a result, they end up with their bodies smushed against each other, arms pinned between each other in the world’s worst hug of all time. But it’s also the greatest, as far as Steve’s concerned.
When they separate, Eddie gives Steve a quick once-over before shaking his head again. “So, what brings you all the way to Sin City?”
“A family road trip.”
“Ah, so the six nuggets and a Winnebago dream came true, then?” Eddie muses.
“More like two nuggets, a piece of shit rental that’s in a repair shop after crapping out on me on I-15, and a co-pilot that doubles as my son’s emotional support stuffed animal,” Steve says, then smiles. “But I can’t complain.”
“Wheeler never jumped on the Harrington Express?”
Steve’s interrupted by Ollie running at him with a vinyl record thrust above his head. Mabel appears a moment later, holding a giant box in her arms that’s clearly too heavy for her. She passes it to Steve, who hands it over to Eddie, who has taken refuge behind the glass counter. As soon as the kids appear, they’re gone again. Steve shouts after them to stay together and not to touch anything. It goes in one ear and out the other if the loud crash that follows a moment later is anything to go off of. Steve winces and looks at Eddie apologetically.
“I promise I’ll pay for whatever they break. They’re a little stir-crazy from being stuck at the repair shop all day.”
Eddie doesn’t look worried about it in the slightest. In fact, Steve’s willing to bet he didn’t even hear the crash, judging by the fond look on his face. It’s a soft smile, almost bittersweet if he had to put a name to it. It looks out of place on his face — almost too earnest, which makes no sense because Eddie is the most earnest guy Steve’s ever known.
“Eddie?”
“Huh, what?” Eddie blinks himself back to the present. When he shakes his head, the elastic holding his hair back snaps, sending his curls cascading down to his shoulders. It’s easy now to see the hints of gray peppered into the locks that used to keep Steve up at night — occasionally still keeps him up.
Steve gestures toward the row where Mabel and Ollie are frantically trying to restack things on the shelves. This time, Eddie snorts and meets Steve's gaze with that familiar crooked smile.
“Don’t worry about them. S’just boxes and shit.”
Steve nods and then grabs a pen out of the cup on the glass counter. He twirls it between his fingers, something about the rhythmic motion calming the silly nerves running wild in his body right now.
It’s just Eddie.
“Nance would kill you for even thinking she’s a part of this circus,” Steve says, then panics. “To answer your question from before. No misses at all actually. Or misters either,” Steve says before he chickens out.
Eddie left before he realized that little fun fact about himself. It was ironic (and tragic), considering he’s the reason Steve even realized it to begin with. Chalk it up to cosmic, universe shit — the bad kind that time.
“Cause that could be an option to, you know. Obviously you know, but it’s an option for me too in case you didn’t know and—“
“Woah, breathe, Steve.”
Steve takes a slow, deep inhale. His exhale is strong enough to send a few of Eddie’s stray curls fluttering before settling back amongst the rest. “Sorry.”
“Stop apologizing!” Eddie throws his hand across the counter, squeezing Steve’s wrist,
It’s silly, but something about the simple touch relaxes the nervous energy that’s taken over him ever since Eddie emerged from the back. A part of Steve wants to blame the relief on the touch, but he knows better. Knows it has everything to do with finally telling Eddie about this part of him he helped him discover.
Steve’s been out to just about everyone he cares about, and now he’s certain he’s told them all.
“So no misses or misters,” Eddie says, before hiding his growing smile behind a curl. “What about Buckley? Is she on the great American family road trip with you?”
“Robin refuses to get into Winnebagos after, well, you know.”
“Can’t say I blame her for that one.”
“It’s just me and the kids. Mabel and Ollie. They’re my kids…I mean, well, obviously, they’re mine, and anyone who says they’re not are fucking idiots, but they’re not blood mine or whatever people say.” Christ, he’s rambling again. “I adopted them. Actually, I was supposed to be their temporary foster parent. I was in my second year as a social worker, and they were two and six months old when they came in the middle of a Saturday night and we had no one on standby. They came home with me, and then they just never left.”
Somewhere in his rambling, Eddie made himself comfortable, pillowing his chin on his hands, elbows sinking into the giant mouse pad that’s stretched out on top of the glass counter. He’s dropped the curl, his bright smile on full display, dimple, and everything when he looks at Steve now.
“I love a good foster fail story,” he cooed. “I have a few myself. Fosters that turned into full-on adoptions. I mean not human kids, cats. And a few dogs. Even a bird. But they’re my kids, you know. I mean, not that what you did is the same thing as me or anything, but I… I’m just going to stop talking now.”
This time, it’s Steve's hand that breaks the barrier between them, reaching out to pat Eddie on the shoulder. A reassuring thing that he hopes conveys that he’s not offended. Just in case, he spells it out for him verbally too.
“I get it. Kids mean a lot of things to different people. If you say they’re your kids, they’re your kids,” he says, smiling. “Robin has a plant, Ferguson. When she first got it she carried it around in Ollie’s baby bjorn because she needed to ‘bond’ with it.”
Eddie laughs, this time hard enough that the case between them vibrates. “Lesbians, and their plants, man.”
“She rescued it from her ex, who was drowning it.”
“We’re just all patron saints of lost things, aren’t we?”
“Guess so.” Steve smiles, then adjusts his own stance so he’s leaning against the counter. Something pops in his back, and for once, he doesn’t make an excuse. Eddie knows all about their aches and pains — the way their bodies are thirty years older than they should be, thanks to their teenage years. He runs a steady hand through his hair, hoping beyond hope that it’s not as greasy as it feels and then turns his attention to Eddie. “What about you? Game and record store sounds like a pretty sweet deal.”
Eddie blows out air in a whoosh and reaches for another curl. “I mean, yeah, it’s pretty cool. Closest I could get to being a rockstar, I guess.”
“Do you still play?”
“Occasionally. There’s a dive bar a few streets over that I perform sometimes. No band, though. At least, not yet. I’m giving myself a few more years; let the gray really come in,” Eddie says, fluffing his curls. “And then I’ll join one of those mid-life crisis dad bands.”
“Solid plan.” He fiddles with the pen again, contemplating if he should ask what he wants, too. Screw it. Who knows when he’s going to see Eddie again — if it’ll ever happen again. It’s best not to leave anything on the table. “What about a partner?”
“Me?” Eddie asks, pointing to himself before laughing. “Nope. No partner. No lovers either, really. It’s just me and the petting zoo. And Wayne, when the old man makes the trip out to visit me.”
Eddie being alone all these years shouldn’t make Steve happy. He should want him to be settled by now, grossly in love with someone who makes him feel special like he deserves. But Steve’s heart is a traitor, and his brain is no better, already imagining ten different ways he could change that.
Had he known Eddie’s been in Vegas alone all this time, he would have visited a lot sooner. Hell, he would have made this their final destination — he’s sure he could find something family-friendly here for Mabel and Ollie. There’s a lake around here or some shit, right? They could have—
“Shit,” Steve says, reaching for his beeping pager. The repair shop number appears on the small screen. “Could I borrow your phone? This is the repair shop.”
“I suppose I could make an exception on my no-customers rule,” Eddie teases. “Phones in my office, straight back there.”
Steve nods and rounds the counter towards the backroom but stops short. The kids. He almost forgot about the kids. “Do you mind keeping an eye on them?” Steve asks, tilting his head to Mabel and Ollie who have finally picked up the mess they created.
“Of course! Don’t worry about them. I’m great with kids.”
“I remember.”
___
Eddie’s office isn’t unlike his teenage bedroom Steve spent many nights in. It has his typical brand of messiness but with an added layer of professionalism. Like, there’s an honest-to-God filing cabinet in the corner, but next to it is a three-foot-tall Yoda statue. Papers lay haphazardly on the desk beside a calculator.
There are posters all over the walls — some Steve recognizes, some he doesn’t — and endless photographs in mismatched frames. At least three wallet-sized frames with pictures of his pets — kids — sit on the desk. There’s one of Wayne and Eddie on his graduation day on the bookshelfnbeside photos of him with Dustin and some of the other kids over the years.
He even spots himself amongst the familiar faces — a polaroid they took one summer in Hawkins. It feels like a lifetime ago, but a part of Steve remembers what it was like to have Eddie’s arm slung around him like that with the sun beating down their faces, causing them to squint in the photo because Jonathan refused to shoot directly into the sunlight.
Steve gives himself another second to soak in Eddie’s office, searching for any other details he can find to fill in the years he’s missed — a pride flag draped over a chair, his business license framed on the wall, packs of half-used nicotine gum instead of cartons of cigarettes. Finally, he makes it to the phone and punches in the number of the repair shop.
___
When Steve resurfaced twenty minutes later, the neon “open” sign that flickered in the window had been shut off. Eddie’s abandoned his post behind the counter, taking up space at a table in the game section of the store. Mabel and Ollie are sitting on either side of him, listening intently with wide eyes as he moves two figures across a board toward a hoard of waiting miniature figures.
“I leave you for twenty minutes, and you’re already corrupting them with your nerd games?” Steve teases, ruffling both Mabel and Ollie’s hair in the process.
Eddie scoffs. “You expect me to believe Dustin hasn’t put them through D&D boot camp yet? Please.”
“Your stories are nothing like Dustin’s,” Ollie says, voice full of awe.
“Yeah, he always wants to skip the fun adventure stuff and get straight to the battles,” Mabel chimes in. “That's why we like it when Daddy gets to be in charge.”
Eddie’s head swivels so fast that the irrational part of Steve’s brain fears it’s going to fly right off. “You DM for them?”
“I wouldn’t call it Dungeon Master-ing,” Steve says, grabbing the back of his neck. The room feels ten times hotter all of a sudden. The AC must have shut off, he reasons. There’s no other explanation for his sudden flush. Not at all. “I really just make sh— stuff up.”
“He’s the best make-believer! You should play with us sometime. Like tonight!”
“Mabel, Eddie’s busy running this store; he can’t just stop to play with you. And besides, we have to get going soon.”
“They fixed Winnie?” Ollie asks, jumping up from his seat.
Steve sighs. “Not yet. That’s why we have to leave. I need to find somewhere for us to sleep tonight that’s—
“—I have a guest room.”
Steve blinks. Is Eddie offering his place to them? His hearing may be spotty lately, but he’s never imagined entire phrases before. Which means—
“I mean if you want,” Eddie says sheepishly this time. “I have a hoard of kittens running around right now, so if you’re allergic, it might not be the best place but—“
“Kittens!” Mabel squeals before rapidly asking Eddie a hundred questions about them, but he doesn’t stand a chance of answering.
“Can’t we stay at his house, Daddy?”
“I really do have a spare bedroom and bathroom. Plus, a couch and a semi-stocked fridge. And I wouldn’t charge you. The hotels around here are going to sense your need and charge you an arm and a leg, trust me.”
Steve would be stupid to turn it down. A free stay in an actual house. A meal he can cook with his own two hands that don’t involve a shitty stove that gives out after a few minutes. Not to mention, a shower with actual hot water.
Plus, it comes with the added bonus of a few more hours with Eddie. Yeah, there’s not a chance in hell he’s turning that down. Not again.
“Alright, yeah. Let’s do it.” Mabel and Ollie shout in excitement, spinning around the table. Eddie might not have the same energy level as them to join them, but his smile says it all.
“It’ll be just like old times.”
“Wait! You guys know each other?”
Steve laughs first, but soon Eddie’s cackle joins him and it really does feel like old times again. “Of course, I know him. What? You think I would let us stay in a stranger’s house? Don’t you know me at all?”
___
Three days later, Steve finds himself behind the wheel of Winnie the Winnebago as she makes her grand return to I-15. When he glances over his shoulder as the traffic crawls for miles in front of him, he spots Mabel and Ollie throwing Fruit Loops at each other to see who can catch the most in their mouth. And when he looks to his right, Eddie’s there — feet up on the dash, hands protectively clutching Ollie’s teddy bear as if he’s hoping it offers him the same comfort it does for the six-year-old — handsome as ever.
“Didn’t think I’d ever be back in one of these,” he says fondly. “Especially not with you behind the wheel.”
“Really?” Steve lets the corners of his lips twitch upward. Doesn’t try to fight the blush he knows is creeping across his cheeks. “‘Cause this is all I’ve thought about for years.”

Luffy’s Parental figure — ACE!
Who raised Luffy and co-parented him with Sabo.
He's the guy who actually did the teenage boom and baby Luffy. Who was really the only one to be an adult to his brother for seven years. Who raised this little bugger and was there for him through hard training and after hard illnesses as well.
Ace who's an explosive head in his own right, but still cool-headed in the most precise moments of danger.
Who knows how to make chicken soup and other kinds of soups from nutritious foods because Luffy couldn't chew and swallow like normal when he was sick.
Who in the field knows how to pick out what's edible, what's poison and what's medicine, because you learn that quickly in the jungle.
Who really with bare hands will be able to build a place for a night's lodging, to make food or water and to make a trap for safety or for fresh game.
He's a man who smiles at his little bro when he's in sight and who really shows a lot of affection and attitude through touch, because Luffy always needed physical affirmation of love and gosh that kid was very touchy-feely baby.
His life centered around his little brother, who needed to be raised, preserved, and made strong.
Teenage angst and mood swings had passed him by(so nothing unusual), because Ace was already an emotional wreck, but having Luffy around was actually a good catalyzer.
Also life amidst the trash and scum had taught him very well what to avoid, i.e. roughhousing, rapes, murders, overdose deaths, the horrors that slums can hold, especially the nooks and crannies where Ace and Sabo used to sneak around.
According to one particular scene that Luffy had somehow stumbled upon (and he had witnessed the brutality and the corpses privately, but he had never seen the bodies of dead children and girls before )
Luffy had hysteria so intense that he passed out.
After that accident Ace and Sabo decided only to walk in the more lighted and more open area if necessity would lead them to the slums.
In general, Ace isn't used to violence and direct threats, although in some cases Ace remains painfully innocent and naive, especially when it comes to himself. ( unless it involves Roger, the Pirate King )
Because of the fact that Thatch almost cut to pieces a lost in life and specifically in that bar amigo who ran into Portgas and began, in Thatch's opinion, to spread his hands.
And if Ace at first reacted friendly enough on approaching of the future corpse by thinking that maybe it was one of his brothers or inhabitants of the protected area, but when the man had crossed the line with a couple of words, he was carefully folded in unconsciousness by the bar wall.
Honestly, I just want more and more of Ace's side as the man who raised a hyperactive ball of joy. And specifically the aspect of home life, which most often of course manifested itself during meals.
For example, some dishes that for example made pirates complain due to scarcity or flavor (e.g. tomato soup/onion soup, any other specific fruit/vegetable) or the beverage (compote/juice/tea of unfamiliar pickings, etc.) of specific fruits or vegetables to be consumed based on shipboard life.
So imagine the surprise of the Marco when most of the pirates booed about the nastiness of the same grated drink with greens (or search for what foods should be consumed when living on the sea and when living in the jungle) and Ace was the most calm and even nostalgic.
Because he'd made a similar thing for his little brother himself.

hi ame!! i’m super intrigued by your “buck is fine” wip, if you’re willing to share more! 🫶🏻
Hi jj, hi @hogans-heroes 🥰🫶
I don't think I ever really said what it was about, so here's some explanation.
“Buck is fine” is part of the werewolf!gale au and takes place during stalag up until just before his fight with Bucky. It's hurt and no comfort, with Buck trying to convince himself he's fine and keep minimizing what's happening to him as he takes care of everyone else.
Once he arrives at the camp, Buck is quickly buried under all the responsibilities and things he has to do: take care of his men (his pack), help the colonel run the camp, hide his werewolf status ( or risk having his entire barracks executed and him being taken away for experimentation), take part in the countless meetings with the guards who have taken a liking to him, and when Bucky arrives, take care of his mate.
Both Bucky and Buck have had horrible experiences before coming to camp, but where Bucky shows it more, Buck hides it and bottles it all up. They're both wounded but where usually they can help each other, here they're so disconnected and wounded that they keep pushing each other away and so aking things worse.
Add to that seeing his mate injured, his pack scared and in danger all the time, a not so good childhood and the 'joy' of having heightened senses when you're not in friendly territory, his instincts are in overdrive 24/7 and things keep adding up but it's okay, he's fine.
(There's no wolf!gale in this fic, only human!gale this time)
Here's some insight into his mindset
Buck feels his stomach trying to digest itself, he feels it in his bones, this endless sensation, as if he'd never be full again, as if he were eating himself. He thought he'd never experience this sensation again, thought he'd left it behind in Casper, next to the harsh words, the biting touches and the cold sensation. He should have known better. His stomach had long since stopped growling, kept quiet, knowing that growling would do nothing, nothing to help or change, nothing to calm the hunger in his body, the hunger in his stomach, that endless agonizing sensation. He looks at his plate, water with turnip, he's lucky his plate actually contains a piece of turnip, Major Privileges they say. It leaves a bitter taste in his mouth. How does being a major help his men, how does it help them when they're starving, wounded, cold and dying? The soup is salty and not very nutritious, but it fills his stomach a little, filling him up until the next meal. Isn't it funny to think that even if he had a better nutritious meal, he certainly wouldn't be able to keep it down. At least, unlike others, he knows this feeling, he knows how to live with it. He looks up, seeing his boys crowded around the rickety wooden table, stacked against each other to try and keep the deadly cold away from their weakened bodies. His eyes wander until they come upon the latest addition to their little group. Dave had arrived a few days earlier, traumatized by his jump and the brutality of war. The poor boy stares at his plate and what little food may have been put on it, a pitiful look on his face. Rations are further reduced by the Red Cross' delay in getting supplies to the camp. Their meals are more water than anything really nutritious these days, not that they'll be very nutritious on better days. They've had to divide their rations even further until the next delivery is assured. With the cold weather ahead, they won't see the end of winter if they eat all their reserves now. The kid looks like he's about to cry, and maybe he is. Buck has heard him tossing and turning most of the night to find a better position, his stomach screaming in the darkness of the room. He's still relatively new here, having only been a POW for two weeks, and not totally used to the camp's hunger and harsh life. Discreetly, Buck puts part of his meal on the boy's plate. A turnip, not the best, but it should give him energy and nutrients for today at least, and maybe for the next few days. The child needs it; the days ahead will be difficult. He can tell that the weather is changing, that it's going to get harsher and harsher. And anyway, it's not as if Buck will enjoy eating it. He's pretty sure he can't eat vegetables today. Dave can have his. He's not hungry anymore. He's fine.

Crowley’s taking fancy cooking lessons to learn all of Aziraphale’s favourite recipes and they’re supposed to be 1:1. except post-ineffable divorce reunion Sirius is also taking fancy cooking lessons to impress Remus and the chefs they’re learning from just happen to be in the same restaurant 👀
Okay, so:
Crowley absolutely would do this for Aziraphale. Meanwhile, Sirius got back together with Remus and IMMEDIATELY staked his claim by knocking Remus up, and now he wants to learn how to cook so he can impress Remus by making him delicious meals, satisfy all his pregnancy cravings, and make sure that their future child eats the most nutritious meals available. (Side note, now I kind of want Sirius to become one of those parents who like won't let their kid have processed food or sugar or things like that, and becomes so annoying about it, but I digress).
They each hire a chef, but due to plot reasons, the chefs need to give their 1:1 cooking classes out of the same restaurant. The chefs are also HUGE rivals.
Unfortunately, throughout the course of the cooking classes, the rival chefs start to become.....less rivals. More like bickering, and then friendly bantering, and then oh no their chefs are falling in love. Which means that suddenly the chefs are teaming up to teach their clients, so Sirius and Crowley are having to learn together. It is truly the worst thing in the world. They keep doing shit to sabotage each other's dishes, and the chefs stop noticing because they keep sneaking away to make out in the walk-in refrigerator or whatever.
Somehow, Crowley and Sirius both walk away from the lessons with enough cooking knowledge to impress their spouses, but it is one of the worst ten weeks they have ever experienced.

Ok little inspiration (but also TW diet)
It’s great eating healthy, it sucks at first, but it’s kinda fun..even just changing one tiny thing, one patty on a burger instead two, water not soda, little things like that feel so good..feel accomplished and your body will feel better. 2025 is they year we take care of our bodies! I don’t want to do the “food is fuel” thing but like..give it the stuff it needs so your body can keep working until you’re like…102. Go on a little walk outside/inside..just move your body.
(also carbs aren’t evil and don’t feel bad if you don’t eat “good” food..it’s subjective and at least you’re eating!)
2025 is the year we take care of ourselves babes ❤️
-friendly neighborhood nutritionist
My husband and I are doing something similar (bc to have a kid both parties need to be healthy)! My main goals are to limit sugary drinks and eat more fruits and veggies.
I've found what really helps me is thinking "what can I add to this meal to make it more nutritious" rather than take away. I need my carbs, but there's nothing wrong with adding a veggie!

Your Mealtime Routine with These Must-Have Lunch Boxes
In today’s fast-paced world, staying healthy and organized can be a challenge, especially when it comes to mealtimes. One simple yet effective way to maintain a nutritious diet and streamline your daily routine is by investing in the right lunch boxes. Whether you’re packing meals for work, school, or outdoor activities, having the right lunch box can make a big difference in how you enjoy your meals on the go. Let’s explore how you can upgrade your mealtime routine with a selection of must-have lunch boxes designed to keep your food fresh, organized, and appetizing.
1. The Importance of a Good Lunch Box
A good lunch box does more than just hold your food; it ensures that your meals stay fresh, organized, and ready to eat. Choosing the right lunch box can help you maintain portion control, reduce food waste, and enjoy your meals the way they were intended.
Modern lunch boxes are available in a variety of designs, each offering features that cater to different lifestyles. Some are designed for fitness enthusiasts with separate compartments for portioning meals, while others focus on keeping food warm or cold for extended periods. With the right lunch box, you can avoid the hassle of last-minute takeout and save money while sticking to your nutrition goals.
2. Top Features to Look for in a Lunch Box
When choosing a lunch box, it’s essential to consider the features that will make your mealtime experience more convenient and enjoyable. Here are some top features to look for:
Insulated Designs: An insulated lunch box is ideal for keeping food at the right temperature, whether you need to keep your lunch warm or cold throughout the day. This is especially useful if you don’t have access to a refrigerator or microwave at work or school.
Leak-Proof Compartments: A must-have for anyone who loves packing soups, sauces, or salads with dressings. Leak-proof lunch boxes prevent spills and keep your bag clean and dry, ensuring a hassle-free mealtime.
Multiple Compartments: Many lunch boxes come with built-in compartments, allowing you to separate different food items. This is perfect for keeping wet and dry foods apart or managing portion sizes for a balanced meal.
Durability and Sustainability: Opt for lunch boxes made from durable and eco-friendly materials like stainless steel or BPA-free plastic. These materials not only last longer but are also better for the environment than single-use containers.
3. Lunch Boxes for Every Lifestyle
No matter your daily routine or dietary preferences, there’s a lunch box to match your lifestyle. Let’s explore some options based on specific needs:
For the Fitness Enthusiast: If you’re focused on meal prepping and portion control, look for lunch boxes with multiple compartments or stackable layers. These lunch boxes help you manage your macros by keeping proteins, carbs, and veggies separate. Some even come with measurement markers, making it easier to stick to your nutritional goals.
For the Busy Professional: If you’re always on the go, consider a sleek, compact lunch box that’s easy to carry in your work bag. Insulated lunch boxes with a minimalist design will keep your food fresh while maintaining a professional look.
For Kids: Packing lunch for kids can be tricky, but fun and colorful lunch boxes with multiple sections for snacks, sandwiches, and fruits make it easy. Look for lightweight, durable options that are easy to open and close, so kids can handle them independently.
For Outdoor Adventurers: For those who love the outdoors, lunch boxes that are rugged and insulated are essential. Look for options that are leak-proof, easy to clean, and designed to withstand a day of hiking, camping, or travel.
4. Sustainable Lunch Boxes: A Greener Choice
As more people shift towards eco-friendly living, sustainable lunch boxes are becoming increasingly popular. These lunch boxes are made from materials like stainless steel, bamboo, or recycled plastics, offering a durable, long-lasting alternative to disposable containers. By investing in a reusable lunch box, you not only reduce plastic waste but also contribute to a more sustainable planet.
For example, stainless steel lunch boxes are both stylish and durable, making them perfect for anyone looking for a zero-waste solution. These lunch boxes are easy to clean, don’t retain odors, and are highly resistant to wear and tear. On the other hand, bamboo lunch boxes provide a natural, earthy aesthetic while being biodegradable and renewable.
5. How to Care for Your Lunch Box
To keep your lunch box in top condition, it’s important to follow some basic care tips:
Clean Regularly: After each use, wash your lunch box with warm, soapy water to remove food residue and prevent stains. For insulated lunch boxes, avoid submerging the entire box in water and instead use a damp cloth to wipe the interior.
Check for Damage: Over time, wear and tear can affect the integrity of your lunch box, especially if it has compartments or insulation. Check for any cracks or leaks, and replace your lunch box if necessary to ensure that your meals stay fresh and contained.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your lunch box in a cool, dry place to prevent odors from developing. You can also leave the lid slightly open to allow airflow and keep the interior fresh.
6. Upgrade Your Lunch Game Today

I kept seeing "apple slices dipped in peanut butter" given as an example of a low-spoons/executive-dysfunction-friendly meal option in posts but neither apples nor peanut butter are particularly incredible to me on their own, so I never actually tried it (ok yes I probably had it when I was like 6 or something but that doesn't count), but last night I didn't really want any of the prepared food in the fridge so I had apples and peanut butter and Y'ALL. YOU GUYS. MY FELLOW QUEERS. It is (1) delicious, (2) nutritious, (3) filling, and (4) so fucking easy I'm not even kidding the only dishes I had to do was rinse off the knife I cut the apple with. I sliced it up and then just sat on the floor with the jar of peanut butter (my family buys the all natural shit so it's a lot runnier than, like, jif, so I could tilt the jar to reach the pb without getting my fingers in it). 10/10 this is now my go-to I-need-calories-but-brain-machine-broke food. And extra bonus, the all-natural pb pairs really well with the apples that grow in our garden; the flavors balance each other nicely and neither component is particularly sweet, so I don't feel gross after eating more than a few bites!
#Our apple tree really went all out this year so I went out and picked like twelve this morning#Normally I don't really eat our apples because they're pretty hard and not very sweet or juicy#But with pb it's fantastic!
