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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Potstickers are the Best!

These are a definite fave around here. We eat them whenever I haven’t prepared anything for dinner (which will most likely be tonight with the pickling I’ve got on board). My kids think they are the Bomb so that’s a win win in my book. The rest of the eco-lunch is filled with a hard-boiled [...]
Summer Fruit Salad, Peanut Butter and Jelly Bites and More

Um Delicious! Too bad you can’t taste photos. Well well well, what do we have today? A whole lot of yum! Potstickers are a regular treat around our house my kids would eat them every single day if they could. This fruit salad is my all time favorite seasonal treat. Peanut Butter and Jelly bites [...]
Back to School…Already?

Not quite (in Missoula, MT) but I wanted to get things started up again for you ‘planners’ out there. To munch on today we’ve got some couscous, a fruit salad (one of my favorite things about summer), a slice of banana bread (a bit bunched up), some dino vitamins, some corn off the cob, Annie’s [...]
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 – [...]
Turkey and Lettuce Sandwich, Pears/Apples and More

Out of bread again – so sandwich on a hot dog bun it is. The sandwich is filled with some Applegate Roast Turkey, locally grown greens, and some cheese or chreese. The rest of the lunch: Diced organic apples, sliced organic pears, vitamin pile, delicious pasta, a hard-boiled hen egg from our backyard chickens, soy [...]
