Sleeping Bats

I was given the opportunity to test out CuteZCute's latest creation, the Animal Palz Mini Sandwich and Egg Press and I loved it!   Like the original CuteZCute, you get several adorable creations in one press.  The system allows you to create a bat, a monkey, a sheep or a panda.  As the name indicates, you can use it to make mini pocket sandwiches or hard boiled eggs.   I used the monkey to make a hard boiled egg - it turned out adorable but my daughter ate it before I could snap a picture!   I used the bat to make this Halloween lunch. I made 2 versions of this lunch: one with PB&J and the other with turkey and cheese and the Animal Palz press worked great on both.  

 

• 2 bat-shaped mini pocket sandwiches, stacked.  I put the bats upside down, because that's how bats sleep :-)
• Clementine with a bat cupcake pick
• Peas
• Peanut butter filled pretzels
• Mini candy bar

Thank you Bento USA for giving me the opportunity to test the Animal Palz!  Two thumbs up!!

Boo-tiful Ghost Lunch

The other day, while perusing Pinterest, I saw this post suggesting using a tulip cookie cutter as a ghost.  Brilliant!!!!   I am totally going to use this down the line for a Pac-Man lunch but for today, I stuck with a Halloween theme.

• Sandwich pocket, decorated with 2 little ghosts cut from a tortilla using the mini tulip cutter and decorated with a food safe marker
• Cucumber and tomato slices, decorated with a "Boo" cupcake pick
• Red grapes with a ghost cupcake pick
• Mini candy bar

Scarecrow

I am itching to get started on Halloween themed lunches.   I'm not a crazy fan of Halloween (I mean, it's fun to dress up and who doesn't love all the candy?! But I'm not a Halloween fanatic) but I do love making Halloween lunches.

But, before I jump into Halloween, I wanted to make one last fall-themed lunch.  

• Scarecrow sandwiches.   I made this by cutting out circle-shaped sandwiches (There are 2, stacked).   I cut the hat and nose out of the heel of the bread, accented with a flower pick, and then decorated it with food safe markers, icing eyes and linguine for straw hair.
• Carrots and sugar snap peas with ranch
• Red Grapes with a "fall" pick
• Mini candy bar

• Red grapes with a squirrel and an acorn pick
