Camp Lunch

We packed lunch for camp today and of course in our new OOTS! lunchbox:

Since it will be hot today I opted for three containers and two large ice packs:

We packed:

• sandwiches with a few Goldfish crackers
• grape tomatoes and cucumbers and
• blueberry yogurt in a leak proof container

I also added a sweet Lunchbox Love Card from the camp edition.

Stay cool today and don't forget to enter to win one of these amazing lunchboxes HERE!

BLT Lunch

This is the first week of summer vacation but I never got to post these last lunches of the school year. We had BLTs for dinner last week and since we had left overs (I know hard to believe there could be :) the kids wanted BLTs for school as well:

We packed our Easylunchboxes with a few pitted cherries, a corn muffin and three Goldfish crackers and a toasted whole wheat turkey bacon BLT. They also had yogurt and ice water. 

Muffin Tin Monday

This weeks theme for Muffin Tin Monday is The Perfect Picnic. With all the thunderstorms and rain showers we had lately we have not been able to have a real picnic outside yet, so we enjoyed the MTM picnic that much more!

Our Perfect Picnic Muffin Tin is packed with:

• chicken nuggets
• Beachball and Fish shaped Goldfish crackers
• grape, strawberry, apple and mandarin fruit salad
• watermelon balls
• blueberry yogurt
• and popcorn

We served ice cold milk with this Perfect Picnic lunch and added a cute ant napkin and fun bento utensils ;)

Throw (together) & Go Lunches

We have been running late in the morning all week and the result has been quick "Throw (together)&Go" Lunches. Today was no exception and with 5 min to spare lunches were literally packed on the fly with no Friday in sight yet...

A quick Throw&Go Lunch in our Easylunchboxes: Goldfish, apple sauce and a pepperoni and salad sandwich with Spiderman stamp. They also packed water and yogurt.

Another on the fly lunch in Easylunchboxes with Goldfish, apple sauce and bus peanut butter sandwiches. Yogurt and ice water was packed as well :)

We made similar sandwiches yesterday:

A quick and easy Captain America Lunch with apple sauce and Goldfish and...

...an equally fast Hulk and Captain America Lunch with Naturebox Cranberry Energy Bites and grapes with a tangerine. Fast & easy but still fun :)

Super Lunches

My friend Sarah from Bentoriffic sent me an amazing Marvel Hero cookie cutter set from William Sonoma and we were excited to try it out today:

We packed our Easylunchboxes with:

• Naturebox Cranberry Almond Bites
• Green grapes and a cutie clementine
• a Hulk and a Captain America peanut butter and jelly sandwich

and as always they have yogurt, ice water and today also the perfect Lunchbox Love Card!

Love these sandwiches! Even my youngest son wanted a Captain America sandwich and that means a lot since he really does not like sandwiches in general!

I packed him Goldfish crackers, apple sauce and one Captain America peanut butter sandwich. He also has ice water and yogurt.

My oldest son just wanted a plain lunch in his Easylunchboxes and so I packed him: 

• Naturebox Masa Chips and Goldfish crackers
• a cutie clementine and green grapes 
• and a pepperoni and salad sandwich

My four year old wanted to pack her own morning lunch today - for girls without super heroes:

She packed grapes, popcorn and peanut butter and jelly bunnies :)

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss

Happy Read Across America Day and 

Early Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

We love Dr. Seuss and all have our own favorite books. I asked the kids what they would like for Dr. Seuss's Birthday for lunch this year and this is what they requested:

The Grinch from How The Grinch Stole Christmas:

We packed pretzels, green eggs made from chocolate and Unreal chocolate candies, red and white apples to represent The Cat in the Hat and a peanut butter sandwich covered with a dye-free spinach tortilla shaped like the Grinch with fruit leather details. My second grader also brought a yogurt and ice water.

Green Eggs and Ham from the book Green Eggs and Ham:

For my fifth grader, I packed Somersault Sunflower crackers topped with a green egg made from chocolate and an Unreal dye-free chocolate candy, green egg pita rounds filled with hummus and topped with a piece of cucumber and a green egg wrap (green dye-free tortilla, ham and eggs). He also packed ice water.

Max the dog from How the Grinch Stole Christmas:

I packed more Somersaults Sunflower seed crackers topped with a green egg and ham chocolate, apple slices and Max the dog with pretzel antlers and fruit leather details sitting on a cereal bar. My youngest son also packed ice water and yogurt.

Well, and when I asked my four year old she could not decided which was her favorite so we did a compelation of The Cat in the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish, The Lorax and Horton Hears a Who:

We packed our yumbox with a cereal bar topped with fruit leather spelling out "unless" form the Lorax, goldfish crackers representing One Fish, Two Fish topped with green eggs, there is also Thing 1 and Thing 2 taking a bath in vanilla pudding, carrot tartuffolo trees, a Horton holding the speck sandwich and the Cat in the Hat with apple slices.

And with that I am leaving you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss:

The Stay at Home Lunch

My son was sick this week but after our new Monster Munch Lunch faceplates from yubo arrived he declared that he wanted to have lunch in his "new" lunchbox even if he was still home sick.
He was still ill yesterday so I made him a Stay-at-Home Lunch :)

We packed a very silly monster apple, a cereal bar (decorated with two chocolate chips and a half a mini peanut butter cup), rotten monster fish with worms and a creepy yogurt.

I loved that he was so excited to pack the "monster" yubo and he loved eating lunch at home. Hoping he feels better today and the expected snow holds off. Otherwise tomorrow's lunch may have to contain a snow monster ;)

Pardon my Light - there is a storm coming...

So there is a storm in the air - literally. While preparing and hoping it will not hit too hard we still have eat - so we are packing lunches even though schools are closed :) However, it was omnious and dark this morning - so please pardon the picture quality. Last year, we had no power for 11 days. Let's hope that will not happen this year >.<

Lunch was simple but still in the spirit of Halloween today. Chocolate spread bat sandwiches with little liquorice bats, a cereal bar and apples as well as honey crackers and an Italian cookie, Goldfish crackers and a chocolate spread Pumpkin. 

I also used our new lunchboxes today but due to the poor lighting I will do my review next week :)

Packed in our Go Green Lunchbox are cheese and crackers, Chobani Champions Banana Honey yogurt, a pretzel roll with cold cuts, a cereal bar and apples and red oranges.

Boo!

Spooky Lunch

Halloween is just around the corner and we had some fun picking out Halloween picks for this lunch. We  packed pumpkin cheese crackers, ghost vanilla yogurt with chocolate sprinkles (since our store was out of Chobani Champions Chocolate Chunk yogurt which we love), spider apples and a pumpkin shaped sandwich. I added the face later since we had not enough time for a cut out this morning.

The ghost and pumpkin picks as well as the spider are from the Dollar Store. My friend Ludicrous Mama from Biting the Hand that Feeds You introduced me to these. The ghosts and pumpkins are a peg game (contains 14 - 7 of each) and the spider ring comes in a pack of 50. Most Dollar Stores here also carry the pumpkin sandwich cutter. An inexpensive way to dress up a regular lunch and make it just right for the season :)

G is for Gorilla

I found a cute Gorilla Omusubi set on Ebay a while ago and they finally arrived. My boys love them because they think the Gorillas look angry ~ to me they just looks like they have Unibrows. I'll let you judge ;)

Baby Gorilla is filled with Parmesan Couscous from last night and is packed in a coconut tree of chicken sandwiches, spinach leaves and two mini oatmeal cookies. I also packed apples and Goldfish crackers.

Mommy Gorilla (also filled with Parmesan Couscous) is nestled in Spinach leaves in between chicken sandwiches.  Packed also are apples and Goldfish crackers. 

Angry (?) Daddy Gorilla (too much Parmesan Couscous in his belly?) refused any kind of leaves and is just nestled in between a few SunButter sandwiches with a monkey playing in some apples next to Goldfish crackers. 

Happy Monday!

Space Friday

Today's lunch is all about Outer Space. I made the Nutella sandwich pocket with my Wonderbread Crust Cutter and Sealer which I love. It makes great crustless sandwiches that are also sealed which in turn makes them so much easier and mess free to eat at school if stuffed with Nutella or PBJ. I also decorated the sandwich with some fruit strips and punched out stars, a moon and of course an Alien ship. I packed Goldfish crackers and also put some star shaped cheese and pepperoni on top top go with the theme. Hope the boys will like it ;)

Enjoy!

Star Lunch

I just made a quick star themed lunch today with peanut butter sandwiches with star shaped fruit snack, popcorn, Goldfish crackers and half an apple :)

Enjoy!
