Flower Power

Tomorrow's lunch is all about flowers!

Teddy Bear Bento

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

We went to our town's minor league baseball game last night and had a great time. I used it as my inspiration for today's lunches:

• Salami and cheese or PBJ on whole wheat sandwich with provolone baseball decorated with food safe markers.


• Carrots with ranch


• Red and green grapes with a baseball pick

and of course

• Cracker Jack for dessert!

Puppers

Anyone who knows my oldest daughter has probably met Puppers. He is her most loved and prized possession and has been around pretty much as long as she has. He's a little stuffed brown dog. In fact, this morning she told me that if there was a fire in the house and she can only grab 2 things, she'd take Puppers and Phoebe (our cat)...Sorry Avery, looks like you are on your own! (By the way, we talked about how if there was a fire, she needed to get out and not worry about grabbing ANYTHING. But, anyway, I digress...)

Tomorrow's lunch is a tribute to Puppers:

• 2 salami and cheddar, with yellow mustard, sandwiches on whole wheat (stacked). The ear, nose and tail are made from the crust of the bread and he has an icing eye


• Strawberry flower with a blackberry center


• Steamed broccoli with ranch


• a mini Snickers

Phineas and Ferb

The girls discovered Phineas and Ferb this summer! I have been waiting all summer to surprise them with a Phineas and Ferb bento. I don't make a lot of "character" lunches so I think they will get a HUGE kick out of it.

When I saw this one on What's for Lunch at Our House, I knew I had to give it a try. I don't think mine does Shannon's justice...So, I'm not going to show the girls the original ;)

• Turkey and cheese (or PB&J) sandwich with provolone Phineas and Ferb. Their features are made from cucumber peel, hard boiled egg and carrot.


• Peas


• Blackberries


• Pretzel snaps
