What does the mother of all these cute lunches eat? The honest answer from most of us is nothing that cute. My lunch usually consists of leftover fruit & vegetable scraps that I cut from the girls’ lunches and maybe a Larabar on the run. I carry my CamelBak water bottle just about everywhere to stay hydrated, but my lunches could be a LOT better. I pick my girls up at lunchtime. They have eaten, but I am usually running like a mad woman to finish errands before I get them
Today I made myself something healthy & a bit more organized than normal. I took a piece of Ezekiel bread, spread guacamole on it, sliced a baby cucumber and laid the pieces on top of the guac. Then I cut 1 heirloom tomato in slices then quarters and laid those pieces on top. A bit of fresh ground pepper on top, and lunch is served!
Happy Thursday, everyone!

I was looking at the calendar today, and I’m a bit sad that my kids only have 3 more weeks of school left after this week! They are really going to miss their teachers and friends this summer. Where did the time go?
I haven’t really been looking forward to X week at school. I took the lazy way out and broke out the Halloween cutters for this one. I decided on a skull since it was the closest thing to a skeleton without me having to cut out bones at 10pm! At 2 and 4, the only things my girls know that begins with X are an X-ray and a xylophone.
So a cheater’s x-ray it is for both. Miss G’s skull x-ray is on Ezekiel bread with Justin’s Almond butter and jam. She has the tomatoes on either side which she has helped plant, water and grow. She could eat bowls of the small tomatoes so she’s enjoying her crops. Separated by an octopous baran are cauliflower and a carrot X in between. At the top right are blueberries with a watermelon X and below are sliced mangoes with a fruit leather X on top packed in her Easy Lunch Box.
Miss A has a smaller version with the same skull x-ray sandwich. Hers is surrounded by mini carrots. At the top left are mango pieces with a fruit leather X on top and to the right are 2 picks of blueberries made into an X surrounded by watermelon triangles.
Squares and shades

Back to school again today. I feel like Sunday nights always sneak up and slap me in the face around 9pm when I realize all that I have to do for the following morning. I wasn’t taking requests today so Miss G gets some square packages that I turned into a lunch “present”. Her sandwiches are Justin’s Almond butter and strawberry whole fruit spread on Ezekiel Low Sodium bread. I made my ribbon out of soy cheese and put a bow pick in the top to keep the two squares together. At the top left is a pile of fresh blueberies from King Family Farm and Market that we visit weekly with a bunny pick and bunny baran (food separator) in the back for decoration. At the top right are grape tomatoes and a blue monkey pick, and at the bottom right are watermelon squares packed in her Hello Kitty Sanrio bento box.
Miss A has the same sandwich on Ezekiel bread with Justin’s almond butter & fruit spread. She has a pair of soy cheese shades and a fruit leather smile on her “cool” face today. To the left of the face is a small square of dried cherries and apricots. At the top left are sliced pears with a pink bunny baran, the top right are watermelon squares and the bottom right is a small container of cashews packed in her pink Hello Kitty Sanrio bento box. Both girls have ice water in their CamelBak kids bottles.
My husband is having black beans and rice with veggies not pictured here. To go along with his main lunch, I packed him a salad of mixed baby greens. On top are sliced baby cucumbers, red grape tomatoes and a mini sweet red pepper cut in half, seeded & shaped into hearts. At the top right are heart shaped strawberries and at the bottom right are carrot & celery sticks packed in his Easy Lunch Box.
