Day 230

Day 230 - For lunch today D has a weekend clean up!  Top left is some mexican dip, apples slices, mini strawberry newtons with fruit leather flowers, corn chips and then everything but the kitchen sink pasta salad.

For the mexican dip...I'm really lazy and D and I are the only ones that really eat it so I just open a can of fat free refried beans and spread it on the bottom of a serving dish then I top it with greek yogurt mixed with a little bit of taco seasoning, top that layer with salsa, sprinkle on some shredded cheddar and top it all with some chopped black olives.  The pasta salad is a variation of the Rainbows and Butterflies pasta salad that I make for D.  I just added some deli meats, turkey, ham and salami.

Please forgive the picture quality.  I had changed the lens on my camera yesterday so I could take some pictures of baby birds in our back yard.  I never got around to changing it back and of course I was running late this morning and didn't have time to change my lens back.  So the lunch picture stinks but I did get some cute pictures of the babies!

Day 229

Day 229 - YAY!!  It's Friday!  This has felt like the longest week ever!  I am very happy that it's Friday!  Today D has some happy frogs!  In the top box is salami on oatmeal bread and a string cheese.  The bottom box is watermelon and kiwi.  The Lunch Punch works awesome on watermelon!!

Day 228

Day 228 - Today D has a "hearty" lunch!  It's a DIY lunchable!  She has turkey/ american and cheddar cheese, whole grain crackers, carrots, grape tomatoes, multigrain cereal bar cut outs and strawberry hearts.

Day 227

Day 227 - D was begging for a BLT for lunch.  I had to make due with what I had in the house...so she has a BST sandwich (Bacon, Spinach & grape Tomatoes!).  I used the princess Lunch Punch.  She also has some chopped kiwi, banana bread waffle strips and a kitty watermelon cut out.

For the banana bread waffles I just used my favorite banana bread recipe and cooked it in batches in my waffle iron.

Day 226

Day 226 - Quick and simple today...I really need to get to the grocery store.  D has a peanut butter and jelly heart sandwich with a heart cut out.  Her new favorite is that all sandwiches should include sprinkles of some kind...I think I may have created a monster with that one!  LOL  She also has grape tomatoes and watermelon/kiwi flowers.

Mother's Day Off

I made my own lunch for today so my mom could have a day off.  I put in tomatoes, half an orange, some strawberries that I cut up with my safe cutter.  I used as many of mom's picks as I could.  I have a tuna sandwich that I used my cinderella cutters on and then I made a monstrawberry like my mom does.

Day 225

I have been seeing tons of pictures like this on Pinterest lately.  Do you think I could find one on there today??  Of course not!  Anyway, something about these pictures makes me happy.  I'm sure it's the sprinkles!  What kind of monster do you have to be to not be even a little bit happy to see sprinkles?  Well today the sun is shining and I am starting to feel a little bit more like myself again so I decided to recreate this picture in a lunch for D.

Day 225 - D has apple slices with peanut butter, string cheese on a Hello Kitty cupcake topper, grape tomatoes and string cheese and her sprinkle smile sandwich!  It is just a peanut butter/strawberry jam sandwich.  I used a very thin layer of strawberry jam to hold the sprinkles on and I used a Wilton Icing Writer to draw the line.
