A little slow

So, today I was again feeling in the lunchy mood so I decided to try out a new cutter on the sandwich my daughter requested. I also decided to bust out a veggie that she keeps insisting she now likes, though she hated it before. Will we end up with an empty box or will it still have that veggie that I am skeptical at best she's liking now?

IN THIS LUNCH:

• Snail Sammy - Sunflower butter and Jelly
• Broccoli
• Blueberries
• Cottage Cheese with Pepper
• Flavored water

Well, I am pleased as punch to report that it was an empty box! She ate the broccoli with no comment other than it was clever that I used it as grass. Hey, who doesn't like appreciation? What are you all having? 

Happy Packing!

April 7th -- A New Bento Box

So maybe it's dorky but I was super excited to put this together. I found a fantastic new bento box at Target and let us just say, it's got me lunch inspired! Been dying to use it for a few days and here is what we've got.

UPPER LEVEL: One clementine, some grapes, two strawberries, string cheese, and pretzels.

LOWER LEVEL: Meat/lettuce roll ups, mixed greens salad with almonds, dried cranberries, and catalina dressing with tomato hearts.

Happy Packing!

Life certainly has gotten hectic lately! We've begun homeschooling and have added a new baby to the family which has been keeping us all busy and tired! However the lunches must go on. It is one of the things I truly enjoy doing and gives me something to look forward to. If you'd like to see the lunches daily, make sure to like us on Facebook.

Bagel Sandwich

I don't know about you, but sometimes I am just NOT in the lunch packing mood. That's when my month of planned out lunches goes out the window and I stare blankly into the fridge debating what I can pack besides a sunflower butter & jelly sandwich. I don't know if this is MUCH of an improvement, but I'd like to think it's a small step up!

IN THIS LUNCH: 

• Mini Bagel Sandwich: Cream Cheese, Pepperoni, and Cucumber Slices
• Tillamook Strawberry Yogurt w/ sprinkles
• Frozen Blueberries
• 100% Juice Box (not pictured)

This lunch took maybe 10 minutes to throw together which was mostly the sandwich! I was informed later that cucumber/pepperoni is Monkey's favorite sandwich (I don't recall ever making her one before) she's so silly! 

Happy Packing!
