Day 152

Lunch 152 is fun shaped ravioli's with sundried tomato pesto, cucumber slices, grape tomato/mozzarella pearl/olive skewer, strawberries and a clementine.

I'm so glad I made D's lunch last night because I totally over slept this morning and she would have been walking out the door with lunch money to buy something crappy at school!

Day 151

Today D has pepperoni pizza bread, pizza sauce for dipping and a clementine.  Not pictured was some dried fruit trail mix.

Pizza Bread
1 batch pizza dough
1 ( 2C bag) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 c slice pepperoni (give or take)
2T grated parmesean cheese
1 tsp pizza seasoning (divided)
1 egg white

Cut the dough in 1/2.  Roll each half into a rectangle shape...about 1/4 inch thick.  Going the long way, put a row of cheese and pepperoni right down the middle.  Fold the right third of the dough over the filling, make another layer of cheese/pepperoni.  Fold the left third of dough over that filling and tuck the ends under the roll and tuck the short ends under.  Brush with egg wash (egg white and water) sprinkle with 1 T parmesean cheese and 1/2 tsp pizza seasoning. Repeat with remaining 1/2 of dough.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes.  Until golden brown and fully cooked.

I baked it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, but you could just sprinkle some cornmeal on the baking sheet or a pizza stone.  Also let cool for 10 minutes or so before slicing.

Days 149 and 150

Day 149...so weird I could have sworn I posted yesterday....Old age is setting in I think!

Nothing special yesterday she had lunch meat sushi, cheddar cheese cubes, wheat thin crackers and some strawberries.  For snack I just threw together a quick snack mix of cheerios, dried fruit, a couple mini chocolate chips and a few mini marshmallows.

Day 150

Today D has homemade chicken and stars soup, grapes,  grape tomatoes and mini energy balls.

Energy Balls
1 C rolled oats
1 C unsweetened flaked coconut
1/2 C ground flax seeds
1/2 C Almond butter
2 T peanut butter
1/3 C agave syrup
1/2 C mini chocolate chips

I just mixed it all together and then used a small (I think it's like a teaspoon) icecream scoop to make the small balls then I rolled them in conf. sugar...they are not very sweet but you could leave the sugar off.  I store them in the fridge.

Day 148

Lunch 148 is a simple nutella/fluff sandwich made with the princess lunch punch, grape tomatoes and some string cheese!

146 and 147

The new year has not been good to us so far.  I am hoping things will improve and soon!  So I am trying to get myself back on schedule and into my routine of making lunch, photographing and posting.

Day 146

D has chicken/cheese quesadilla, cherry tomatoes and some gingerbread pudding.

Day 147

Today D has a thermos of mac n cheese, in the green container is a clementine, her milk and in the other container is her snack which is honey wheat sticks and toasted marshmallow fluff and nutella for dipping.  On a side note... Her thermos is an old winnie the pooh thermos which her 6 year old self finds offensive ("I'm not a baby Mom!") so when I use it for her lunch I tape a lunch box note over the picture!

145

Happy 2012!

For the first lunch of the new year D has, lunch meat sushi (my old stand by!) with cheese cubes, some multi grain pita chips, milk and a clementine.

The Holidays Are Upon Us!

It feels like I have been going straight out since Halloween!  I have been making lunches and I have even been photographing them.  I just haven't had the time to upload the pics.  I volunteer at D's school once a week and we have been crafting our brains out for the holidays.  I took the pics for our Christmas card and took pics for the grandparents' Christmas gifts.  Christmas shopping has taken up a huge chunk of time and so has gift wrapping.  We have all been sick and to the doctors' office during this time as well.  I am hoping things will slow down for us and get back to normal after the holidays....but no promises!
