Sunshine Breakfast and Lunch

By Momma
Smiley Fake Pizza

One of my favorite things about the morning – this time of year – is the sun is streaming in through our windows. I don’t have to worry about bumping the ISO on my camera all kinds of happy light. This was saved in “drafts” forever and I just found it. It seemed adorable enough […]

Ravioli Bird Lunch

We aren’t eating the bird for lunch, just to clarify. We got a new bird from Santa and he has an awful lot of spunk. This is my big kid (er a cobra) and our bird, that has too many names, his best friend. It is pretty rare that you see Simon without the bird. […]

Sushi & a Ham Wrap

Sushi rolls might be one of the most pleasing things to put in lunches. They are real eye candy. My biggest kiddo loves sushi so every now and again we’ll get a roll and save it until the next day for lunch. This happens to be a veggie version with tofu, carrots, avocado and a […]

Rice Ball Faces

By Momma
Dinos, Rice Balls and PB&J

Two boys off to school today = two lunches on our counter first thing in the morning. Getting back in the swing of things has been quite a bit easier this year than years past. Soy yogurt, peanut butter and jelly bites, rice ball with nori face, carrots, lemon-covered almonds, fig cookies, strawberry star cookie, […]

First Day – Cartoon Lunch

By Momma
Phineas and Ferb Made Your Lunch

I found a really awesome picture on the “net” of Phineas & Ferb, in food form, and I decided I’d try and recreate something to really blow these guys away. With the reveal the little one thought it was Tom & Jerry and the big one thought Ferb was a dog. Strike one for Mama. […]

Skeleton Lunch

Skeleton Lunch

This I probably should’ve waited to post until about a month or two from now. Raisins, olives, fig cookies, bread and peanut butter and jelly can make this happen! And you could make it happen for the first day of school! As for the rest, strawberries, grapes, soy yogurt, homemade applesauce, chocolate drops, crunchy sticks […]

Chocolate Drop Flowers and Hot Dog Bun Sandwiches

By Momma
Hot Dog Bun Ham Sandwich & Green Chocolate Drop Flower

Look at that little mitt, it certainly isn’t lunch time yet. Sans the mitt – we have – strawberries, hot dog bun ham sandwich sans the lettuce (little doesn’t like greens but big does), chocolate drop flower, soy yogurt, sliced pear, fig cookies, crunchy sticks, goldfish, sunflower seeds (top)  – it all looks simply marvelous. […]

Smiling Sandwich on Homemade Bread, Strawberries and More

By Momma
Made your lunch cold lunch

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 […]

Red Beans and Rice, Pocky and More

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 […]
