*Cute lunch check-in*

It was another busy week and we weren't home for lunch much, but here's what we've got!


Dr. Seuss lunch! "Oh! The Places You'll Go!" shoe muffin cup - itty bitty PBJ sandwiches (made with my new Fun Bites cutter from Amazon - I love it!). "Fish in a bowl" - Swedish fish in blue jello (untouched). "Cat in the Hat" - mozzarella and strawberries on picks. "One Fish, Two Fish ..." - blueberries and Goldfish in a muffin cup. Things 1 and 2 - strawberries, mozzarella, blue picks and food-safe markers for the numbers. "Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose" - cookie with pretzel antlers. "The Lorax" truffula trees - thick pieces of cheddar on tree trunk picks. DD loved this lunch.


Green eggs and toast (we had a guest who doesn't eat pork). I wasn't sure if DD would eat this, but she thought it was very funny and gobbled it up. I separated the egg white from the yolk, dyed it green (I only used one drop of coloring - it probably could have used two), returned the yolk and fried it.

 
Seals (and running low on groceries)! Homemade sealed sandwich (get it?) - made from peanut butter and sliced strawberries. Blueberries, seal picks, Swedish fish (which DD called disgusting), cherry tomatoes, peanut butter pretzels, strawberry and a penguin container filled with raisins.

DD had a field trip to a dinosaur museum, so this was her to-go snack and lunch, packed in our large Lego box from the Container Store. Squeezy applesauce, a container of strawberries on top of a container of blueberries, sandwich made from pancakes and strawberry cream cheese, and a mini Lego container filled with dried mangoes, topped with a pick for the fruit. The dinosaur shaped cheese slice went on top.

This was my lunch for the field trip, packed in my new stainless steel bento box (from allthingsforsale.com, and I completely love it). A PB and honey sandwich, cut in half and stacked, dried mangoes and a container of strawberries with a little fork pick (so handy!). The strawberry container was included in the set and it has a lid, which I put on after taking the picture. What I really like about using bento containers for myself is that the food doesn't get squished like it would if I'd put the sandwich in a lunchbag. And between our two lunches, the only trash was the applesauce pouch.

PIP your cute lunches here! Did you make anything Dr. Seuss-related?

in my life

You are both so creative! I need to buy some supplies so I can do this occasionally for DD, I think she'd love it.
