I love the holidays because then I can really have some fun with Peyton's lunches. All month long I have been using Halloween-themed cookie cutters to make her sandwiches a little more festive. I have even found some fun, fall candies to sneak into her lunch too! Today, Peyton is having a ghostly peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I just cannot get Peyton off the peanut butter and jelly kick that … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Leaf Lunch
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 … [Read more...]

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.

I never buy cheese balls but Peyton was with me when I went … [Read more...]

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 … [Read more...]
Cheesy Hearts and Crackers Bento 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 … [Read more...]
PB & J Sushi Bento Box
Today was the first day of summer camp! Where Peyton is attending summer camp she has the option of eating the lunch provided by the program (a federally funded and approved lunch program) or bringing lunch from home. Well, I've looked over the menu and I can honestly say I do not see how it's a balanced lunch. There is so much processed, carb filled foods with very little protein. Isn't this the … [Read more...]
