Day 296

Day 296 - This is one of D's favorites.  She has fun shaped ravioli, topped with herbed sun dried tomatoes, kiwi and a hollowed out apple with caramel flavored yogurt topped with caramel sauce and unsweetened coconut.

To make the caramel flavored yogurt I use 1 cup of my homemade yogurt and add a tablespoon of sugar free coffee flavoring syrup (like Torani).

Day 295

Day 295 - Thank God for left overs!  Quick and easy lunch today!  She will be eating spinach salad with grape tomatoes, carrot flowers and red pepper butterflies, left over grilled steak tips and string cheese ( I did stamp it but the light was so bad this morning it ended up getting blown out).  She also has chopped strawberries with a "Monstrawberry" on top, some kiwi and blackberries. It took less than 10 minutes to put this lunch together.  I love those days!

Day 294

Day 294 - Turkey/spinach/sprouts in a Joseph's flax flat bread with tuscan white bean humus, string cheese, yogurt parfait, dark chocolate wafer cookies, strawberries and raspberries with chocolate chips.  All packed into the gray Goodbyn!

Day 293

Day 293 - Today is a Trader Joe's day!  D has spinach salad with TJ's chicken pot pie bites, TJ's pumpkin greek  yogurt, Triple Berry Newtons and a blueberry fruit leather heart.

Day 292

Day 292 - D watched A Nightmare Before Christmas the other day and fell in love with Jack Skellington!  I knew that some of my BBF's (Bento Blogging Friends) had made a Jack lunch so I went looking for inspiration.

D saw this lunch from Cristi at Bento On Better Lunches and was quite impressed!  Mine is not nearly as cute!  LOL

Tracie at Lunch, Snack And Sninner made hers for the Halloween Blog Hop.  I love how she used contrasting bread!

Karen from What's In Our Lunch Bags also made hers for the blog hop.  I have to be honest...the spider freaks me out a bit!  LOL

Shannon at What's For Lunch At Our House made this one that was featured on Disney's Family.Com!

So D's lunch features a Dark Chocolate PB Jack sandwich, some dark chocolate covered wafer cookies decorated with Wilton Icing Writer, grape tomatoes, string cheese, orange jack o' lantern and some Chobani Champions Very Berry yogurt.  After I took the picture I remembered that I had some fresh raspberries in the fridge so I put them on top of the yogurt as well.

Day 291

Day 291 - We are using our 2 tier Mickey Mouse bento today.  In the top tier D has strawberries, grapes and raspberries stuffed with chocolate chips and the bottom tier has sliced roast chicken, cheddar cheese and dried cherry on Halloween picks, under those is some sprouts and green pepper slices.

Day 271

I was just looking through my blog stuff and saw that I had some posts that didn't get posted!

 

 



 

 

Day 271 - Totally dialing it in today.  I worked late last night and never got around to putting lunch together yesterday and I just wasn't feeling it this morning.  So thank god for my freezer stash.  D has 2 mini deep dish pizzas, carrot sticks, the eyeballs are actually pumpkin decorations (kind of like Mr. Potato Head), she also has yogurt with gummy vampire teeth, under her milk is a blueberry fruit leather.

Day 286

Day 286 - Breakfast for lunch!  It's always a good standby!

Day 282 - Breakfast for lunch!  I made an Apricot Quick Bread and used that to make french toast, chicken apple sausage, white bottle has maple syrup, grapes and blueberry applesauce with sprinkle star.

Day 281

Day 281 - Another wrap today.  I really like the Joseph's Lavash breads.  They are full of good stuff! Today they are full of "pizza"!  I spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the bread then put on some pizza sauce, a sprinkle of shredded cheese and some mini pepperoni, in the Mini Dippers she has some Apricot Bread, the green things are dried kiwi, in the two side compartments she has homemade blueberry applesauce and tomato/mozzarella salad.

Day 280

Day 279

Day 279 - It looks like Spring! I know it's Fall but, I am not much of a Winter person. I really am not looking forward to it.  I probably should consider living somewhere other than New England! LOL 

From the top left she has veggie chips, blackberries/raspberries, strawberries, turkey/walnut/cranberry wrap, red and yellow grape tomatoes, string cheese and kiwi "gingerbread men".

 

Day 278

Day 278 - D has some "ants on a log" except instead of raisins she has dried cranberries and walnuts, she has a turkey wrap with tomato, carrot and bell pepper, inside Hello Kitty is some buckwheat granola to go on top of the pumpkin yogurt and a little slice of cake.

Pumpkin Yogurt

1 C greek yogurt
1/2 C pumpkin puree
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1T s/f vanilla syrup

I didn't care for it when I first made it but once it had sat over night....OMG...YUM!!

Day 277

Day 277 - This is probably not the most healthy lunch I have ever packed but it's what I had in my fridge!  D saw the  guitar (swizzle sticks) picks and asked me to make her a "Rock N Roll" lunch.  So today she has "cheeseburgers" on a stick!  I cooked 2 hamburgers as I normally would then I used a small round cookie cutter to cut out circles.  I toasted the bread and cut them out the same way.  I used my layered cheese and some tomato slices.  She also has some homemade yogurt with mixed berries and a small piece of yellow cake with chocolate frosting.
