A Couple More Horse Camp Lunches

 - Horse-shaped sandwich with an icing eye and the crust of the bread used for the mane and tail.  As to avoid wasting sandwich, I cut small hearts out of what was left after I cut out the horse.
- Carrots with ranch
- Clementine and grape flower
- Hershey's Chocolate Nugget

These lunches went together to spell "Horse Camp"

- Roll-up (My youngest had PB&J, of course and my oldest had salami and cream cheese) with letter picks
- Fruit (My youngest has a clementine and grape flower and my oldest has red grapes)
- Carrots and cucumber slices with ranch
- Swedish Fish

Peace. Love. Horses.

Hello again!  Did you miss me?!   Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.   We've been having a ton of fun this summer and I've been taking a break from lunches.  Well, not a complete break...We've still been eating lunch...just not going to extremes to make them cute.)  But, the girls are going to a horse camp this week so it's backed to packed lunches for a week.  I find that it's very difficult for me to pack a bento style lunch without doing something to it.  So tomorrow, it's "Peace, Love, and Horses"

• 2 rectangle sandwiches (stacked) with a cheddar peace sign, heart and horse, decorated with food safe markers.
• Raspberries (don't they look delicious?!)
• Broccoli with ranch
• Pretzel snaps
• Hershey nugget

Girl Scout Bento

Tonight my daughter has her bridging ceremony as she moves from being a Girl Scout Daisy to a Girl Scout Brownie.  So, her lunch today celebrates that.

- 2 Trefoil-shaped sandwiches (stacked) with a Girl Scout pick
- Carrots with ranch
- Daisy shaped cheddar cheese
- Red and golden raspberries in the shape of a daisy
- And, of course, a daisy shaped brownie for dessert!

Camp Bento

My daughter's 1st Grade class is doing a program at school this week called Camp Skeeter -- they pretend like they are away at camp, while learning things about animals and the environment.

I made her a lunch to go along with her day at camp.
