Oh, brand new Planetbox, how we love thee! Anything that makes my life a little more organized with less thinking is for me!
I decided to start a couple weeks out from Valentine’s Day to get some ideas cooking. I love pastry/cookie cutters for preschool lunches. They make perfect bite sized goodness, and then kids have to fill up on fruits and vegetables. Muhaha! Sneaky mom! The sandwiches are Justin’s Almond Butter with small pieces of fresh strawberries inside. A few raspberries are in with the mini sammies. To the left are orange slices with grape tomatoes stuck in between. In the top left compartment are carrot and celery sticks and the treat in the center is a Hail Merry brand raw vegan vanilla coconut macaroon. The top row of tiny heart silicone cups are filled with blueberries and dried apricot hearts. Yum! This lunch is for my 4 year old packed in her Planetbox stainless lunchbox.
Miss A (3 years old) has her hearts lunch in our new LunchBots Trio. In the left compartment are raspberries and strawberries. At the top are blueberries and carrot sticks and in the bottom compartment are the same mini heart love sandwiches.

Fabulous Valentine’s Day lunch! How does Almond butter compare to Peanut butter– in terms of health and taste?

Well, there is no short answer. We simply switched because of friends and classmates with peanut allergies. We also like WOW and SunButter for no nut alternatives in peanut-free schools and classes. We rarely buy peanut butter any more unless we’re using it for home only. I’ll let the experts tell you the difference!: http://www.self.com/blogs/flash/2011/03/which-nut-butter-is-best.html

Oh, and taste is VERY similar so kids will adjust quickly.
