It's Shark Week!

Hello all. Did you know it's Shark Week?  I love Shark Week. I am actually watching it right now while I type up this post! I am actually terrified of sharks and some of the shows really make me squirm. But I still watch. So when one of the kids needed a lunch on the go today I couldn't resist. I made her a simple shark week lunch. She was thrilled with it. Here is my simple shark week lunch.

She has a ham sub sandwich, a clementine, yogurt star cookies, a applesauce pouch and a few chips in the cute reusable shark bag.

I also made a lunch for my aunt who was with the oldest girl today.

She has a turkey, ham and cheese sub. She also has a clementine, yogurt star cookies and chips.

They were so thankful to have a lunch to eat before the drive home. My aunt said I could pack her lunch anytime. It's a great idea to take your lunch with you when you have an outing. You get a healthy meal and save lots of money.

Here are some of the products I used in this lunch. Just click the pictures for a direct link.

EasyLunchboxes Round-Up!

Today I went through my photos and picked a few of our favorite lunches for a round-up. This week I want to give a great big shout out to EasyLunchboxes! I have to give it to the EasyLunchbox, They are right when they claim they are easy to use. These boxes are a must for lunch packers. Not only are they super easy to use, they are quite affordable and really durable. I have been using some of my boxes for two years. They are versatile also. We not only use them for lunch, we also use them for breakfast and dinner. A lot of evenings I pack up a dinner in one for my mom. This way she has dinner when she gets home from work or a lunch for the next day. Here are a few lunches to give you some ideas of what I pack in ours.

 

Several of these lunches are made with leftovers. Lunch can be so easy. EasyLunchboxes make packing lunch fast and fun! Try them out for the new school year. You won't be sorry.

Jurassic Lunch!

I haven't made a bento in quite some time. The kids are on summer break and usually take care of lunch themselves. But today I decide to make them a dinosaur bento. Last week we watched the first three Jurassic Park movies. The kids had never seen them and they have always been a favorite of mine. They loved them. Especially my son. He has watched them a few times since. We can't wait to see the new Jurassic World movie! I needed to get a bit of my bento mojo back, So I grabbed some tools and set to work on a fun Jurassic bento.

The boy got a T-Rex peanut butter & jelly sandwich, cherries, apples and a clementine.

My middle school girl had a stegosaurus grilled cheese, cherries, apples, cucumbers and a half of a clementine.

The youngest girl had a triceratops grilled cheese, cherries, cucumbers, peppers, apples and a half of a clementine.

The cute dinosaur silicone cups were made by your truly! I found a dinosaur silicone baking mold at one of my local stores. I just used my trusty razor knife and cut them out! They were so easy to do and now I have dino cups!

I also made my mom a quick lunch for work. Five minutes of work and she can have a meal that is way better for her than fast food!

 My mom has a everything bagel, cream cheese in the mini-dipper, a Colby-Jack cheese pack, cherries, and a clementine.
