Lunch Ideas
Pan Fried Potatoes, Kiwi and More
Friday, November 25th, 2011
If there is one food that Papa Shane (Ukulele Guy) has mastered it is Pan-Fried Potatoes. He doesn’t mess around when it comes to these delights. He’s very particular about his potatoes so you can rest assured you’ll be getting the best of the best if he is preparing them for you. All packed up [...]
Smoked Turkey Thigh, Snow Peas and More
Thursday, November 24th, 2011
The afternoon following the consumption of this lunch I hear…”Mom, I don’t really like winter peas.” I get it – they aren’t as fresh – they aren’t as delicious as straight from the garden – and…they aren’t winter peas…they are snow peas…but I’ll probably call them winter peas from here on out. The rest of [...]
Meatloaf, Buscuit and More
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011
As usual we have two versions of lunch today. There are a handful of things that one kid loves and the other kid detests. It always seems awesome to me that kids that come from the same parents aren’t just exactly the same. The small differences are a hard-boiled hen egg for some stuffing and [...]
Breakfast for Lunch
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011
Sometimes we like to eat some pancakes for breakfast and stick them in our cold lunch to eat a second time. When I make a batch of pancakes I make a mass of them and that seems to be the most effective way for us to have hot breakfast at least a few times during [...]
300 Lunches!
Monday, November 14th, 2011
Today I celebrate the posting of my 300th lunch. I think I need to have a party of some sort. Dedication, I suppose I have the two cutest boys on earth to thank for that, and they need to eat. Nothing makes me feel better than filling their bellies up for mid-day meal with the [...]
Red Beans and Rice, Pocky and More
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011
Who needs more than red beans and rice and Pocky sticks? Oh what the heck we’ll throw about a billion other things in this lunch to spice it up a bit. Cherry tomatoes for starters, and of course some carrots from our garden (NONE of those are going in the compost this year), some couscous [...]
Facebook Followers Love Fairy Lunch
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011
If you don’t already you ought to follow us on our Facebook Page we post extra photos there from time to time and we’d hate for you to miss them. Our theme for lunch today was fairy inspired. We had a Magical Fairy Party at our Toy Store on Friday and the bits of cheese [...]
Halloween Lunch
Monday, October 31st, 2011
I wanted today’s lunch to be extra spectacular but the boys really wanted a special breakfast so we made pumpkin shaped pancakes – which ended up sucking up some of my normal lunch making time (and creativity). So here we have it. The teeth idea was found by my Mother-in-Law and I thought they were [...]
New Bento Wish List
Saturday, October 29th, 2011I always wonder how on earth the bento boxes I see are so full of talent. I’m speaking of the tiny faces with nori cutouts for eyes, nose, EYELASHES, etc. I mean come on, how on earth do you have time for that? Well I just found some magical tools and I made myself quite [...]
Weird Apple, Bagel Sandwich and Hummus Face
Thursday, October 27th, 2011
We’ve got a bagel sandwich today that my kids would eat everyday if we had the goods on hand. This one is filled with lettuce, tomato, and ham. This sideways apple was a funny find, the core went completely sideways, turned a corner. The cherry tomatoes are from our backyard garden, and that previously mentioned [...]
