Making Lunch Fun, One Box at a Time

ben·tol·o·gy (ben t äləjē) Noun : The study of making nutritious and fun lunches for my daughters.

I get a lot of inspiration from other blogs. So, in hopes someone might get some inspiration from me, I've decided to post some pictures here.

This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.Proverbs 3:7-9

Whooo's going to have a great year?....You are!!

My daughter and I are slightly obsessed with owls.  Today's lunch is quite similar to one I have done before (and one that inspired my original), but as I was looking through old pictures, I was inspired again ;-)

 
  • 2 owl-shaped sandwiches (stacked), decorated with carrots, food safe markers and provolone cheese.   I used circle shaped cookie cutters to cut out the owls and eyes.
  • Cherries (pre-pitted)
  • Carrots and cucumber slices with ranch
  • Vanilla yogurt with sprinkles
Here are some of the items I used when creating this lunch:

Whooooo's Excited for Summer?

We are!!!  

This is the last school lunch before summer vacation.  (They have a half day tomorrow but both classes are ordering pizza for lunch. )

Summer...BRING IT ON!!!


  • Owl-shaped sandwich wearing a sunglasses cupcake pick.  I used the crust of bread to make the owl's wings.
  • Cherries (that I pitted so they didn't have to deal with spitting out the pits at the lunch table) with an beach umbrella cupcake pick
  • Carrots and broccoli with ranch and a beach ball cupcake pick
  • Chobani tube yogurt*
* We just received a shipment of Chobani tubes to review.  I will be writing up an official review soon but in a nut shell, the girls LOVE them!!!   What a quick, easy and healthy snack or addition to their lunch.  Thank you Chobani!   They have offered to do a giveaway so stay tuned!  You can win your own free yogurt!

Guess Hoooooo Loves You

My youngest daughter and I both love owls.  So, when Pottery Barn Kids put their owl PlanetBox Lunch box on clearance, we couldn't resist! 

She was very excited to see the first lunch in the new box!  I said, "I titled your lunch "Guess Hoooo Loves You!"" and she said "You, of course!"  She's right!!  (I think it's funny that she doesn't seem to think it's odd that her lunches have titles!)

 
  • Owl-shaped sandwich made using heart cookie cutters.   His eyes are provolone cheese decorated with food safe markers.  His beak is made from cheddar using a mini heart cutter.  His feet are carrots.
  • Clementine and raspberries
  • Broccoli with ranch
  • Pretzels
  • Dove Chocolate Promise
