May the Fourth Be With You!

I had grand plans for today - for lunch. But, life happened and there wasn't enough time to actually pack what I had planned. My kids are huge Star Wars fans and were planning on wearing some fun shirts to school, so I wanted to at least do a little something in their lunches.

Thankfully, my awesome sister had recently sent us edible wafers with "Star Wars - The Clone Wars" motives on them! Thanks, Sis!

Packed in our Easylunchboxes are:

• Snapea Crisps
• Minion cheese crackers
• and a pepperoni, lettuce and mayonaisse sandwich topped with an edible yoda wafer.

This lunch in our Easylunchboxes is similar:

• Snapea Crisps and mixed nuts
• Minion cheese crackers
• and a chicken, lettuce and mayonaisse sandwich topped with an edible wafer.

Keroppi Bento

As promised, this morning the switch took place. Since two kids immediately fell in love with our new U-Konserve bento box they have to take turns taking it to school. My 3rd grader brought a Darth Vader bento yesterday and today is my middle schooler's turn. 

He likes his lunches simple and since there is so little time to eat I try to pack him a smaller lunch and he has a healthy granola bar in his backpack for the way home. All kids had a hard time getting up this morning, so I packed a chocolate pudding into everyone's lunch to cheer them up. I don't normally pack pudding but the kids seemed to need a little extra motivation this morning.

Our U-Konserve bento box is packed with:

• chocolate pudding (under the Keroppi topper)
• Annie's Cheddar Bunnies
• strawberries and
• a ham and cheese wrap 

And if you are wondering what my 3rd grader packed since he had to switch today: 

I packed him a fun Star Wars themed bento in our Lock&Lock box with:

• Annie's Cheddar Bunnies and Luke Skywalker
• chocolate pudding
• Boba Fett sandwiches and
• strawberries

Darth Vader Bento

Most of the time when I receive bento mail, the only one really excited is me. This time, however, two kids immediately claimed the new U-Konserve bento box that arrived yesterday as their own. I will have to order more if they both love this one as much as they claim! My younger son won the turn and immediately went ahead and planned out his lunch. (*if you saw my Facebook post about after school snack yesterday you know that he is very specific about what he would like to have packed).

He requested to have the following food in the new U-Konserve bento box:

• two "Darth Vader" chocolate spread sandwiches
• Annie's Cheddar Bunnies
• one kiwi, sliced
• 3 big strawberries
• and a few grape tomatoes

He loved that the lid is clear and his friends will be able to see his cool Darth Vader sandwiches even before he opens his bento box. It will be hard tomorrow morning when the turn to use this box goes to his brother.

Here is what I used to pack this lunch:



*The Funkins cloth napkin I used in this post is called Robot Factory. I am excited that limited designs are now availabe for the same price as on the website on Amazon.

Star Wars Lunchbot

We still have 8 days before school starts and lunch packing will become more regular again. We have however been busy with our summer schedule of summer sports. I wanted to share this quick and easy Star Wars snack box I packed for my two little kids to eat while watching their big brothers play football.

We gathered our supplies and picked our food: apples, grapes, star shaped cheese crackers, a few leaves of salad and nut butter bread. I had recently won these fun Star Wars sandwich presses from Sarah from Blame it on the Bento and we already had a few light saber food picks.

Our Lunchbot Trio ended up looking like this filled with:

• two Star Wars nut butter sandwiches
• star crackers
• apples and grape lightsabers

And if you are wondering why we picked Darth Vader and C-3PO, there is a very simple explanation! They both in our Star Wars ABC book and on adjoining pages ;)

Things I used to make this lunch:

May The Force Be With You

Happy Starwars Day!

My kids love Starwars and so I could not pass up making a special lunch today. My 3 year old daughter was a little hard to win over but once I mentioned that Starwars has a princess even she was on board. Plus, she made sure none of the melted chocolate left overs went to waste ;)

I made Yoda, Princess Leia, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. All with melted chocolate, candy eyes and fruit leather.

The first lunch Anakin Skywalker. I drew his face on whole wheat honey bread with melted milk chocolate and added candy eyes and a small piece of fruit leather for the scar. Also packed are strawberries, crackers and two light saber picks with blueberries.

The second lunch is Darth Vader. He is drawn on whole wheat honey bread with milk and dark chocolate. Also packed are strawberries, crackers and light saber picks with blueberries.

The third lunch is a Princess Leia lunch. I drew her with melted milk chocolate and added candy eyes and fruit leather blush and lipstick. Also packed are strawberries and light saber picks with blueberries on crackers.

The fourth lunch is a Yoda lunch. This lunch is not dye-free since the chocolate I used contains green food coloring. I love Yoda and had to make him. I just found a great company that make natural food coloring so next time I would use white chocolate and add some natural color!

 I drew Yoda with melted green chcolate melts and mixed in melted white chocolate for the details. Yoda also has candy eyes :) As  above this lunchbox also contains strawberries, crackers and two light saber picks with blueberries.

As always the kids all have ice water and yogurt as well :)
