It's been a while since I posted Peyton's lunch for you all. But life has been crazy! Yes, I have been feeding her, I just have not been posting it. Today, I decided to get back in the routine. I still have pictures of all her Bento Box meals and I'll try to get those up over the next few weeks or use them as fill-ins on the days she decides to take hot lunch. With the weathering taking a drastic dip, it feels like fall so I made more of a fall themed box today. Our main entree is going to ...

Mini Butterfly Sandwich Bento Box
It's Friday! So today's lunch has a special treat in there, one that has never made an appearance in Peyton's lunches before. Kids love bite size food. Today I took mini butterfly cookie cutters and cut Peyton's peanut butter and jelly sandwich into several little mini butterfly sandwiches! Bite size, finger food treats.Cheese balls! I never buy cheese balls but Peyton was with me when I went grocery shopping. And in a moment of weakness, I said yes to a huge ol'barrel of cheese ball. Mind you, ...
Princess Castle Bento Box
I'm loving my new set of princess cookie cutters, so today I made peanut butter and grape jelly castle sandwiches! Peyton said she needed two sandwiches because once you cut them into the shape they are too small. So be mindful when using cookie cutters. Sometimes you may have to make two sandwiches to give the kids a decent size sandwich. To help combat waste, I try to use the peanut butter and jelly in the center where the cookie cutter shape will be. Then I'm only wasting the bread.As I was ...
Cheesy Hearts and Crackers Bento Box
I'm trying to break Peyton of peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches so today I made a cheese and cracker lunch box! I took a mini heart cookie cutter with a scalloped edge and cut out 6 Colby Jack cheese hearts. I like to buy the rectangle individually sliced cheese to do this with. I use about 3 slices per bento box meal. And then I have them for my lunches if I want to use them too. I switched out the beef sticks I normally buy to turkey sticks. Just thought turkey would be a little ...
Princess Tiara Bento Box
Yes, I must confess I went out and bought a new Bentgo Box. It was too hard only having one Bentgo box in the house. And sometimes Peyton has been known to forget her lunch box at school. So I bought a second one in blue. However, I will be buying a green one and a few extra inserts before school starts. I just love the shape of this lunch box! It's the perfect size for little kids. And it helps keep me from tossing a ton of junk food in a bag and sending her off to school. Today, Peyton is ...
Scared Kitty Bento Box
I've been making Peyton's lunches for a few months now and I must admit I'm still having a blast doing it! Even though she has been requesting lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I keep her box fresh and fun with new and interesting sandwiches thanks to my extensive collection of cookies cutters!I haven't used our Halloween cookie cutters since last Halloween. But I came across them while I was cleaning up our baking area. How fun is a sandwich in the shape of a cat? My one complaint ...
