Red Beans and Rice, Pocky and More

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 [...]
Brat and Pan Fried Carrot Train

Love this train…well I love the boys that will eat that train at lunchtime today. Any tricks on getting your kids to eat carrots are very welcome! We still have a plethora of carrots to consume and my kids aren’t huge on raw carrots. These are pan fried in some olive oil. They prefer them [...]
Colorful Cold Lunch

A little breakfast and a look ahead to lunch. This time during our morning is some of my favorite time during the entire day. That is a colorful lunch! The applesauce is homemade, the carrots are homegrown the rest comes from close to home. The fruit salad is all organic berries/grapes from the Good Food [...]
Hamburger, Pasta Salad and More

Hamburgers are Simon’s favorite! And the question is…why wouldn’t they be? They are delicious! And loaded is the way I love them. Simon likes them with lettuce, ketchup, mayo, and cheese if he can get it. The rest of the lunch – a clementine, some grapes, homemade pasta salad – it has cherry tomatoes from [...]
Garden Fresh Carrots, Risotto and More

Our garden is overflowing with carrots. Too many for me to eat actually. Probably a project for next week – harvest them, boil them, puree them, freeze them (at least that’s what I’m thinking). Needless to say there shall be carrots in many lunches. Oh and tomatoes – those we’ve got plenty of those as [...]
Big Bun Sandwich, Hard-Boiled Egg and More

If my memory serves me correctly it looks as if I’ve got a hot dog sandwich rollin’ here. Occasionally I run out of ideas for the main course and I seem to turn to hot dogs in a bind. We like the Hebrew National variety – mostly because Costco has them in giant packs…Costco Sized. [...]
Last Day of School!

Mac and Cheese Banana and More We’ve got a medley for you today. I’ve decided the medley will be lacking description so the pictures will have to do the justice. Sweet little August on one of our winter morns during lunch prep. Looks like some dino sammy action in the house. Chocolate and Carrots – [...]
Baked Potato, Pan Fried Carrots and More

Back to school…now we’ll just pine away for our trip to Mexico on Cinco de Mayo. Ahhh. Spring Break was awesome but it never seems to be long enough. Now for the eats…we’ve got some carrots that are just tossed in a pan with some olive oil to soften them and sweeten them, a diced [...]
Floppy Burrito, Carrot Sticks and More

The PlanetBox is full of goodness today! Carrot sticks and ranch for dips! My kids love dipping pretty much anything in ranch – just like their Mama. A sliced up red apple and a diced up green apple – who doesn’t love a double apple lunch? A grip of raisins, a floppy lookin’ bean and [...]
Clementines, Gingerbread Sandwiches and More

Oh yeah – Christmas brought us some Gingerbread cookie cutters – so we now have gingerbread sandwiches! And of course those Lego Advent calendar pieces. I got a real kick out of the pig so I decided to throw him in the lunch photo and then of course that meant we couldn’t leave out the [...]
