Elephant Butt Sandwich and More

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 [...]
Smiling Sandwich on Homemade Bread, Strawberries and More

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

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

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?

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 [...]
Smoked Turkey Thigh, Snow Peas and More

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

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 [...]
300 Lunches!

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 [...]
Halloween Lunch

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 [...]
Weird Apple, Bagel Sandwich and Hummus Face

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 [...]
