Mittens

We're ready for snow!

• 2 mitten-shaped sandwiches (stacked), decorated with small flowers (supposed to look like the fur on the mitten) cut out of whole grain white bread
• Broccoli with ranch and a snowflake pick
• Red grapes with a mittens pick
• 2 Dove Chocolate Promises

Here are some of the items, or similiar items, that I used when creating this lunch:

Simple Snowman

I'm not sure it's fair to say I was just "inspired" by the snowman lunches created by Jill at Meet the Dubiens since I pretty much just re-created her sandwich!

• Snowman Sandwich, made using the Pampered Chef sandwich cutter, cucumber peel for the eyes and mouth, a carrot for the nose (of course!) and a pick hat.
• Peas
• Colby jack snowflakes
• Fresh pineapple chunks and raspberries with a snow globe snowman pick
• Hershey Kisses

Elves!

I'm sure you are all familiar with the phenomenon of the Elf on the Shelf.  We have 2 at our house, Cupcake and Dasher.  They arrived from the North Pole on December 1st.   I had intended to do an elf lunch on the day they arrived.   But, it was the weekend and I wasn't feeling overly ambitious so...better late than never!

 

• 2 elf-shaped sandwiches, decorated with a cookie stamp
• Cucumber slices and ranch, with an elf cupcake ring
• Red grapes
• Simply Gogurt
• Mini doughnut decorated as a snowman, using candy corn and mini chocolate chips

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

I have made a sandwich similar to this in the past, but he's so cute that he makes me smile...So, I made him again!

• 2 reindeer-shaped sandwiches (stacked) decorated with the crust from the bread (antlers), icing eyes and a halved cheery tomato (nose)
• Kiwi and strawberry slices
• Broccoflower and ranch with a Rudolph cupcake ring
• Christmas colored goldfish crackers
