Sunshine Breakfast and Lunch
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 […]
Puzzle Piece Sandwich
I love me some rice and egg faces. Today we’ve got a tasty tray-full of puzzle sandwich (peanut butter and jelly style), pretzel squares, hard-boiled hen egg (bunny style), kiwi, rice face (I usually punch the faces out of Nori) – the hair isn’t edible, vitamins (to make you big and strong), diced organic apple, […]
Hard-Boiled Wonderland
If you use Instagram I’ve been posting my lunches on there often lately, and you might want to follow walkingstickmama – if you are into that kind of thing – which you probably are since you are here right now. I’ve posted several lunches under #madeyourlunch and would be really excited if you shared yours […]
Pretty Pears, Fig Cookies and Mango Covered Almonds
I love the way this lunch looks, so pretty. I will also always love the elephant butt bread that comes out of my bread machine. No tail today – just filled with some turkey and lettuce and a bit of mayo. Kiwi, Fig Newmans, Mango covered Almonds, a bit of Risotto, Homemade Applesauce and a […]
Last Day of Second Grade
I’ve been meaning to post this lunch for over a month now…and about a billion more…someday I’ll catch up. Most likely it will be when my kids are 25 and 27. I asked Simon what he wanted for his last cold lunch of second grade and he told me, “A note.” I used to get […]
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 […]
Facebook Followers Love Fairy Lunch
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 […]
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 […]
Halloween Monster Face Sandwiches
Watch out this monster might get you. Or maybe this one. I should have saved this post for the Day of the Dead. The rest of these monster mash lunches are filled with all kinds of goodness. Look at that little monster in the background below. Now for the goods => Tiny apple from our […]
Circle Sandwiches, Tiny Pear and more Fall Delights
As fall creeps in it always seems harder to fill lunches with fresh fruit, but it is actually just a transition. The plethora of fresh fruit in the summertime is what makes summertime so special. The fall fruits are just as much of a treat though. I mean look at this tiny pear and the […]
