For last night’s dinner we had quinoa pasta. I love that I can find healthy, fun pasta for my kids in great shapes. The Quinoa Corporation makes these garden pagodas that I cooked with Lightlife brand vegan italian sausages and marinara sauce and grape tomatoes. The thing I really like about the quinoa pasta is that it’s organic, non-GMO (not genetically modified), gluten-free and use plant based colors. Better than that they don’t get mushy and my kids love them. I decorated with vegan (non-dairy) cheese butterflies. At the bottom are two small apple slices with a butterfly and a G for Miss G with the opposite color plugged into the cutout packed in her Goodbyn bynto lunchbox.
For her snack today, Miss G has black seedless grapes, honeydew melon and the red butterfly cutout from her apple in the middle packed in her Happy Tiffin stainless bento box.
Little Miss 2 year old has the mini version of the same lunch of quinoa garden pagoda pasta, vegan italian sausage pieces, vegan cheese butterflies and a yellow flower cup of red and green apple butterfly pieces with raspberries at the top packed in her LunchBots Duo.
My husband’s lunch is the third more adult version with vegan cheese hearts, a plum at the top left and a d’anjou pear sliced at the top right packed in his Easy LunchBoxes container.

When my kitchen’s full of leftovers, I always try to turn it into lunch for the next day. Last night’s was enough to make 3 lunches!
At the top left Miss G has seasoned soy crumbles with black olive eyes, lashes and a grape tomato mouth. Above are mini corn chips for dipping. At the top right are grape tomatoes and black olives. In the middle of her Goodbyn bynto is her leakproof water bottle. In the bottom compartment are plums and mango pieces.
And snacktime for Miss G has d’anjou pears and a happy apple in her Happy Tiffin stainless bento. The round container has So Delicious brand raspberry coconut milk yogurt in it.
Miss 2 year old is still picking at her lunches like most 2 year olds. I have been limiting her breads since I find that’s all she eats. She has a mini version of the leftovers in her LunchBots Quad.
My husband has the adult version. He has Lightlife brand soy chicken strips with taco seasoning on a bed of romaine and red, leafy kale topped with black olives and grape tomatoes. At the top left are the same mini corn chips and at the top right are organic figs packed in his Easy LunchBoxes container.

Who has time to make these lunches? If I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me, I’d have a whole lot more in savings. The answer is anyone. It doesn’t take as much time as you think. Grab a mini cutter and try it! Today I’m posting some not as pretty lunches. They took me about 5 minutes each to make. Still cute, still healthy and barely any time at all.
One of my favorite lunch tools is the Lunch Punch cutter sets. They are super quick, cute and simple to make lunches. At the top left are pluot slices and sugar snap peas. At the top right are raspberries and a watermelon whale packed in a Lunchbots Uno.
Miss Four Year old had mini leaf and flower sandwiches are almond butter and jam with hummus and black bean crackers for dipping at the top. Her Goodbyn Bynto lunchbox has a water bottle that fits in the middle and below that I packed sugar snap peas and watermelon pieces.
My husband had leftovers from dinner that we will definitely be making again! I made my own version of this recipes for Six Sisters’ Stuff Spicy Rice and Bean Wraps that I found on Pinterest. I made it vegan, and I keep out the spice at least for the ones I made for the little ones. We added a little salsa on the adult versions at our house.
I used whole grain tortillas for the wrap. In a bowl I mixed 1 cup of brown rice and quinoa mixed, 1 can of pinto beans (what I had in the pantry), and 1 tsp cumin. I smeared a small bit of Tofutti brand vegan sour cream on the tortilla, then I loaded up with rice, quinoa and pinto bean mixture and added some julienned carrots and cucumbers on top. I rolled them tightly, cut & served with sides of green and red salsa for the adults. Dinner and leftovers for lunch too! At the bottom I packed some sliced kiwi and cantaloupe in a LunchBots Duo.
