Elephant Butt Sandwich and More
Saturday, April 28th, 2012
Today we’ve got ourselves a real doozie of a lunch to share. We’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to what our bread machine bread looks like – luckily just the same as an elephant butt, if a tail is provided. We got some new treasures for Christmas and we’ve been testing [...]
Ham & Pickle Rolls and more
Friday, April 20th, 2012
Aw yeah nothin’ like some rolled ham in your lunch – with a little dill pickle and Tofutti cream cheese in the middle, yum! And of course one kid likes pickles and the other doesn’t care for them so much, so we have a variation on the school lunch for today. Kiwi, buttery pretzel squares, [...]
Sunshine Lunch – Ham/Turkey Sandwich with Tomatoes and More
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012
It is probably my favorite when the sunshine is the lighting for the lunch photos in the morning. That is the one bummer about summer vacation. I don’t get to take great photos at 7AM of the lunches I prepare with all natural light streaming in our windows. So as spring approaches the light in [...]
Valentine Cold School Lunches Take 3!
Tuesday, February 14th, 2012
Now for the grand finale! I like to start off with a lunch train from time to time….a Valentine Lunch Train. My kiddos woke up this morning to some special little Valentines from us. Legos are at the tippy top of the list for both of them right now so while they ate their bacon, [...]
Valentine Cold School Lunches Take 2!
Tuesday, February 14th, 2012
This is a guest parent – and she just happens to be my freakin’ adorable sister. Don’t we look alike? Here is her lunch today followed by her pile of cute little kiddos this morning. I’m not sure I can give you the details of this lunch. Looks like – cottage cheese, goldfish crackers, a [...]
Valentine Cold School Lunches

Special Valentine Treat – 3 lunches today – over the course of the day. Here is the first Lovely Lunch. Who doesn’t love meatballs? Seriously? A peanut butter and jelly (homemade plum jelly) on wheat bread – with a heart of course. The tiny clementine pre-peeled, onion and poppy seed snack sticks, mandarin oranges, [...]
Smiling Sandwich on Homemade Bread, Strawberries and More
Monday, February 13th, 2012
Yummy! Simon and Gus enjoyed a smiley little lunch today. The smiles are punched out of nori and the sandwich is homemade white bread filled with peanut butter and homemade plum jelly (which is delightful). The strawberries are organic and sliced up bite-size for kiddos, the fig cookies are Newman’s, the chocolate drops are from [...]
Dinos, Noodles and Egg
Monday, January 23rd, 2012
There is a bit more to it than those three things…but…who doesn’t like Dinos, Noodles and Egg? Got your attention didn’t I? I don’t want to scare you but there is a monster after you lunch. Noodles with pork, organic apple, hard-boiled hen egg, fig newman, soy blueberry yogurt, and peanut butter and jelly dino [...]
Quorn Roast, Pears and More
Thursday, January 19th, 2012
I should have titled it “Quorn Roast, Chocolate Drops and Yum”…cause that looks seriously good! We love a little bit of meat-free roast in our lives it is seriously delicious. If you haven’t tried it – I suggest you do. The pears & apples are pretty darn near the only fresh fruits we can get [...]
Thanksgiving Leftovers?
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
Where did the time go? We’ve been busy…but we haven’t stopped making lunches. Everybody needs to eat right? So we’re still going strong just not so good about posting these days (weeks/months). You see we’ve got a remodel/expansion happening at our toy store. And the holidays brought the busy bluster they bring to each of [...]
