Here Comes Peter Cottontail!

With St. Patrick's Day behind us, it's time to move on to Easter!   I love making Spring/Easter bentos!   This bunny bento couldn't have been easier!

• 2 bunny-shaped sandwiches (stacked), decorated with a marshmallow to look like a bunny tail
• Strawberry slices with an Easter egg cupcake ring
• Broccoli and ranch with an Easter Bunny cupcake ring
• Jelly beans**

**My daughter got her braces off last Thursday but has to get a permanent retainer put in on Wednesday so she only has only had a few days to eat without food restrictions.  So, we've been pretty free with the jelly beans and popcorn this week!

Simply Spring!

The last few days have brought us our first signs of spring!   Granted, snow is in the forecast
for tomorrow. But, for today, we are savoring the blue sky, sun and jacket weather.   I think days like these are God's way of telling us "Hang in there!"

I was feeling the spring fever when I put together this simple springtime lunch:

• 2 butterfly-shaped sandwiches (stacked) made using a butterfly cookie stamp
• Carrots with ranch
• Strawberries with flower picks
• 2 Dove chocolate eggs

Minion Monday

It definitely seems like there is  Minion Madness going around out there...Minions can be found everywhere! And now they are in our lunchbox.    This lunch was inspired by several different lunches that I've seen recently including these: Eats Amazing, Bent On Better Lunches, and Glory's Mischief.

• 2 minion shaped sandwich, decorated with fruit leather, icing eyes and flour tortillas.
• Carrots with ranch
• Red grapes
• Girl Scout cookies

Girl Scouting is fun!

This has been a busy week for Girl Scouts around our house!   We've had a field trip to the Humane Society, a cookie booth, cookie pick-up and delivery and the Father/Daughter Luau dance!   So, Girl Scouts was on my mind as I was making lunches today.

• 2 Trefoil-shaped sandwiches (stacked) decorated with a Girl Scout cupcake pick
• Carrots with ranch
• Red grapes with letter picks to spell "fun"

and of course it wouldn't be a Girl Scout themed lunch without a Girl Scout cookie for dessert!
