Day 327

Day 327 - Dolphin, ham sandwich today :) with strawberries and chocolate pudding!

Day 326

Day 326 - Very boring lunch today but it's also a favorite!  There are 2 ham and turkey roll ups, strawberries, homemade yogurt and Kashi granola.

Day 325

Day 325 - We are finally starting to feel better from our lost week.  We were all so sick with cold/flu like symptoms.  So for today's lunch D has pizza "sliders".  I used a round cutter to cut the pizza then I put a slice of cherry tomato in the middle, topped with another round of pizza and then a black olive and a fresh mozzarella cheese pearl.  She has more cheese pearls, olives, a cherry tomato, a clementine and some cookies.

Day 324

Day 324 - Someone in my google+ Lunch Packing Community had posted a recipe the other day for BLT Pasta Salad.  It looked and sounded delicious!  I wish I could find the post so I could credit back to her.  I'll keep looking.  Anyway, the recipe called for bacon, mayonnaise and sour cream, that is a lot of fat jammed into a "salad"!  I used real bacon bits which are fairly lean and pack a ton of bacon flavor.  I replaced the mayo and sour cream with yogurt.  The recipe also called for cooking the tomatoes in bacon drippings.  I lightly sprayed a non stick pan with olive oil.  So all in all I think I lightened it up pretty good!  It was delicious!  D also has some orange jello with a couple of mini marshmallows and a clementine.

Day 323

Day 323 - I just could not get out of my own way this morning.  I was also completely lacking any creative ideas!  I just threw together this quick simple lunch.  It will at the very least hold her over till she gets home!  The top tier has some corn chips and salsa/cheese mixture in a mini dipper.  The bottom tier has a clementine and turkey/muenster cheese roll ups.

Day 322

Day 322 - Making use of some leftovers.  From the top L, D has some cookies, red and yellow grape tomatoes, roasted potatoes and some roasted chicken.  I have been asked before about sending leftovers like this and things that seem like they should be hot.  D is ok with eating her "hot" foods cool/room temp.  I packed this with an ice pack so it will be cold when she eats it.  She is ok with that.  I only use her thermos for things like soup, shepard's pie or hot pasta dishes.

Day 321

Day 321 - I so enjoyed my blogging break.  It was a very busy "vacation", trying to juggle the kids being home and working.  I am still trying to navigate this new phase of our lives.  There is a learning curve but I'm enjoying it!  So D's lunch today is a pb and honey sandwich, some red and yellow grape tomatoes and a very happy clementine.  D's sandwich is cut out with an icecream Lunchpunch and decorated with some honey and sprinkles.
