Muffin Tin Monday - Dinosaurs

Today's Muffin Tin Monday theme is DINOSAURS and I immediately thought of my kids favorite song from the Laurie Berkner Band "We are the Dinosaurs." So today's lunch is all about dinosaurs and packed with help from my 4 year old:

We packed a Muffin Tin with:

• cucumber slices with the letter D for Dinosaurs
• a hatching "dinosaur" egg
• edamame "grass" with a flower spoon for the dinosaurs to stomp on
• blueberry yogurt with a dinosaur pick
• dinosaur fossil peanut butter sandwiches
• and dinosaur berries (grapes) - the dinosaurs favorite food according to my daughter :)

And if you have not listened to the adorable "We are the Dinosaurs" song from Laurie Berkner
- you can listen to it here:

MSA Lunch

My oldest son has the first round of MSA (Maryland School Assessment) testing today and therefore we packed lunch with extra care today!

We packed home made snack mix (unsalted peanuts, white and dark chocolate chips), oranges, energy balls and three pitas filled with carrots, salad and turkey. Nestled on top are two small containers filled with mayo. We also packed a drinkable yogurt and ice water today to refuel.

I  packed a snack for the afternoon as well:

Lemon edamame, crackers and cheese and some apples are packed in our Lunchbot Trio.

Good Luck today!

Stay at Home Lunch

Two of my kids are home from school today and just wanted a simple Tortellini lunch. So I made the tortellini and added picks with blueberries, green grapes and red grapes and some salad with carrots with mini beef hot dogs and carrot cheese picks and a pick with edamame :)

Since three of us were home today I made a bento for myself, too, and realized that I have a lot to learn about making an appealing adult lunch. I will file it under first try ;)

Have a great Thursday,
