The Magic
The magic is really all for these two humans. Aren’t they handsome? I always love it when I wake up in the morning and plans come together, in the lunchbox. This morning was one of those mornings. The photo above was just a sampling of what my little people are made up of. The photos […]
Sexy Carrots
Gus grew his own carrots this year. And some peas. In our family garden we’ve got tomatoes coming out of our ears. We even share with our backyard hens, sometimes. Those sweet hens give us delicious eggs to eat in our lunches, so a fresh tomato every now and again isn’t hard to part with. […]
Rainbow Harvest
Just figured I ought to follow up my Rainbow Lunch with a snip of where some of our harvest came from. Look at that sweet little powerband in there. These are some of my favorite days of the entire year. Carrying this bounty inside from the backyard makes me so happy! Summer! Ahhhh. If […]
Rainbow Lunch Day
Today was Gus’s rainbow day celebration. Colors were discussed the first two weeks of Kindergarten and this was the day he got to wear rainbow colors – of course I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to make him a rainbow lunch. I am pretty in love with the memory of what he chose to wear […]
Rice Ball Faces
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
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. […]
Dino Sammy, Pears, Kiwi & Carrots
Dino PB&J, sliced organic pear, strawberry soy yogurt, fig cookies, a rainbow of kiwi, carrots and crunchy poppy seed sticks, and to wash it all down an array of chocolate drops complete today’s lovely colorful lunch. If you’d like to know more about the lunchboxes featured in these pictures and posts, then you should take […]
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 […]
