The Kissing Hand
The Kissing Hand is how Gus started Kindergarten and I remember Simon doing the same. I sat in each of their classrooms, while their teacher read that book, on the first day of school and cried. I like to think of my lunches as my ‘kissing hand’. If only I could send a lunch this […]
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. […]

If you’d like to know more about the […]

Ooh and those swimmers around the spaghetti […]
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 […]
