Lunch!

Today has been kind of a lazy day. I have been behind on doing everything including posting lunch. It was a great lunch too. The kids all got a nice little surprise when they opened their drink containers. Homemade chocolate milk. I even had a little myself. I am after all the perfect taste tester. Here is our better late than never lunch.

This is lunch for the oldest girl. She has apple slices with peanut butter, sugar snap peas, cucumbers, sweet pepper rings and grapes. She also has trail mix, a homemade nutter butter cookie and pretzels.

This is lunch for the youngest girl. She has chocolate hazelnut spread sandwiches, sweet peppers, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, oranges and grapes. Mini deli pretzels and a homemade nutter butter cookie.

 

This is lunch for the middle girl. She has pretzels and peanut butter, cucumbers, apple slices and grapes. She also has trail mix and a homemade nutter butter cookie.

EasyLunchbox Love!

I have not seen this much snow and winter weather in Virginia since I was a child. The roads are covered in ice and it is a mess out there. We are on our second snow day for the week and the kids don't need a packed lunch for school. So I made a collage to showcase one of my favorite lunch boxes. The EasyLunchbox. These were just a few of our favorites.

I love my EasyLunchboxes and they are a kid favorite too! I hope you have all been enjoying my lunch post because I sure have enjoyed sharing them with all of you. I will be adding a new segment this week to the blog. The breakfast bento. These are easy and fun ways to get your kids the fuel they need for the day while on the go.

The Breakfast Bento!

Hello there! I have been getting request from my oldest daughter to make her a breakfast bento. She doesn't have a lot of time in the mornings and it is so early when she leaves she isn't ready to eat. She is a Junior in high school and her teachers are all onboard for letting the kids snack. I decided this was a great idea. A healthy breakfast can make a difference. It gives kids the energy they need to get through the day and make good grades. In preparation for our new breakfast bentos I ordered a set of boxes from Lunchbots. The set includes the uno, duo and trio boxes. These are the standard boxes for Lunchbots. They also now have a bigger box that is great for packing bigger meals for your kids and yourself. I also have three of the bigger boxes as well. These boxes are great! Here is our very first breakfast bento!

 

In this breakfast bento she has fresh baked blueberry muffins, honey roasted sunflower seeds and grapes. I used Duncan Hines Simple Mornings blueberry muffin mix. I love this mix. It is all natural and is made with only real ingredients. It is the perfect mix for when you don't have time to make them from scratch. The house smelled great. A house with treats in the oven is like heaven.

 

I will be bringing you a few special lunches this week as we celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday all week at school. The kids are all excited. Even the oldest wants a Seuss lunch! I will leave you on this note until you visit next.
