Panda Mania

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, my oldest daughter started middle school this year.   She was pretty adamant that she didn't want "cute" lunches anymore, which was fine.   Well, last week she came home and said that she was telling her friends about "what I do" with lunches and they were intrigued so she wanted me to make her a cute lunch.  She specifically wanted me to recreate the Koala lunch that I had made for her younger sister a few days earlier.

Apparently her new friends LOVED her lunch and now, not only is she back on board with cute lunches, but her friends are sending in theme requests.  Today's requested theme was "pandas" so here is what I came up with.

• 2 peanut butter and honey Panda sandwiches, created using the Animal Palz cutting system and decorated with food-safe markers
• Cheese stick
• Red grapes with a panda pick
• Broccoli with a panda pick
• Hershey kisses

In addition to the product links above, here are some of the products, or similar products, I used when creating this lunch:

Cuddle Palz Sammie

• Carrots with ranch
• Red grapes
• Hershey kisses

My middle schooler wanted pizza pinwheels again -- easy peasy!

Purrfectly Quick and Easy Lunch

If I want to make a super quick but cute lunch, my "go to" tool almost always ends up being the Cute Z Cute cutter.   In this lunch, I used it to make a kitty.   I used the crust of the bread to cut out the features and give it a little "pop".

 

• Sandwich made with the Cute Z Cute
• Broccoli with ranch and a kitty cupcake pick
• Raspberries
• Pretzel snaps
• Hershey's chocolate Nugget

Cat and Mouse

My oldest daughter specifically requested a kitty themed lunch for today.  She even suggested that I use the Cute Z Cute.   I saw this mouse hard boiled egg on Pinterest and have been excited to make it.  I thought, what goes better with a kitty lunch than a mouse?!

 

 

• Kitty sandwich made with the Cute Z Cute and bow
• Hard boiled egg mouse decorated with carrots, spaghetti noodles and icing eyes
• Carrots with ranch
• Red grapes and kitty picks
• Hershey's miniture candy bar

CuteZCute to the Rescue!

I'm still getting back into the swing of things after the long holiday break.   So, today I was excited to make a cute and very EASY lunch with my trusty CuteZCute and a few presents I got for Christmas.

The CuteZCute was just named one of the 10 best selling kitchen tools and gadget sets on Amazon.com.   I'm not surprised.  It's super easy to use, very varietal and adorable!

- Sandwich made with the CuteZCute cutter and decorated with strawberry fruit leather.  Due to the size of this bread, I couldn't get 2 full cuts with the CuteZCute so I used a smaller bear cutter to make 2 tiny sandwiches, to avoid waste
- Raspberries in a bear cup with panda picks
- Peas
- Ferrero Rocher chocolate
