So maybe this isn’t the most reverent representation of the manger scene, but I was limited on time this morning. I wanted Miss G to have the manger scene for her lunch…the reason for the season. Baby Jesus is made from Stretch Island fruit leather on a bed of cashews. The angel is Justin’s Almond Butter on Rudi’s Organic brand Whole Grain bread. The star is a dried apricot and next to the angel are a Christmas tree pick of grape tomatoes. At the top left are organic blueberries with a gift food pick and in the top right compartment of her Easy Lunchboxes container are organic raspberries.
And above is the elusive mom lunch. I say this because I rarely get lunch. I’m lucky if I have a protein bar or smoothie while on the run. Today I am driving down to Miss G’s school to have lunch with her so I packed myself a cute lunch too. I’m having a gingerbread girl on Rudi’s Organic whole grain bread with almond butter & blackberry jam. I stuck some raisin buttons on with almond butter. She has cinnamon candy eyes and a fruit leather mouth. I used a Hello Kitty bow for her hair pick. She is surrounded by grape tomatoes on Christmas tree picks. In the top left compartment are pineapple chunks with a candy cane food pick and the top right has organic blueberries and raspberries. Merry Christmas to you all!
I will be taking a break to spend time with my family while the kids are out of school. Hoping everyone has some time to relax and appreciate all the little things in life. I look forward to hearing from you in the new year!
Much Love, Sarah
