It's Friday! Today is a lazy day at camp for Peyton. They spend the day swimming and playing all day. They even have the ice cream truck come by! So, I thought I would make her lunch extra special today. I decided to make it with nachos and cheese! This was really easy, all I did was put some round tortilla chips in the bottom and covered it with shredded nacho cheese. I knew it would be a hit because Peyton loves cheese. We still had some blueberries and blackberries in the fridge so that ...
Bento Box Lunches
Butterfly Cheese and Crackers Bento Box
There are more than sandwiches you can use to make a lunch. Sometimes I forget about that and get into a sandwich rut. So today I took thick slices of Colby Jack cheese and used mini butterfly cookies cutters to turn them into butterflies! I used about 4 slices of thick sliced cheese to make 8 butterflies. I figured that was enough for lunch. Then I used a few Ritz crackers and tossed in a handful of pepperoni sticks. (I buy the pepperoni sticks at Target in the snack aisle.) Next up was the ...
Turkey and Cheese Bento Box
I've been doing shapes in Peyton lunches for a while now. And I have been a little bad about keeping up with the dishes. So today I just sliced her sandwich into quarters and stacked them in her bento box. It was a tight fit, but I didn't want to waste any of the sandwich so I squished it in. I used thinly sliced turkey breast and Colby Jack cheese thinly sliced to make this meal.I had some blackberries and blueberries I needed to use up before they spoiled so I washed them off and filled up the ...
Pizza Bites Bento Box
Being that it's just Peyton and I we end up tossing out a lot of leftovers. I simply cannot eat everything by myself and Peyton only eats one meal a day at home. But today when I opened the fridge I saw leftover pizza! I immediately thought about tossing it in Peyton's lunch but I wanted to make it fun so I took out these little pie crust cutters and cut a large pizza slice into little butterflies! It was a win win. Peyton is going to have a fun pizza lunch box and I am getting to use up our ...
Butterfly Peanut Butter and Jelly Bento Box
Today is a big day for Peyton at camp so I'm packing a little larger lunch than normal. Peyton is also on a peanut butter and jelly kick so I packed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into the shape of a butterfly.Peyton also has an obsession with pretzel sticks so I decided to send those along with her too today. Normally I would put fruit in the larger well but I figured they had a field trip and she was going to be doing a lot of walking so the extra calories was not going to be a big ...
Turkey and Cheese Sushi Bento Box
We still have that smashed loaf of bread so as I'm still making "sushi" sandwiches for Peyton. Today I decided to use some thinly sliced turkey breast and thinly sliced Colby Jack cheese for the filling. Because you are rolling the bread you only need one or two slices of turkey and a slice of cheese. If you put too much in, you won't be able to roll it and it'll fall apart. Once you have the bread rolled take a sharp knife and slice the roll into 3-5 pieces depending on size of bento box and ...
