Food, Family, Fun.

Amy has a Hello Kitty shaped boiled egg, some goldfish crackers, cucumber and carrot slices, red & green grapes. Her turkey sandwich was easily decorated using a Hello Kitty stencil and some cinnamon.

These are really all of her favourite things so it was no surprise that she ate almost everything.

sliced plums, sliced apples, carrot & cucumbers sticks, grape tomato (she still didn't eat it)

2 cupcake flavoured Goldfish, mini cup with vitamins, 2 Hello Kitty Sandwiches

Rose's Lunch

Everything is the same as Amy's lunch above but I gave her extra tomatoes since she loves tomatoes

Simple lunches with lots of variety for the girls. This was Rose's first day of school (Thursday) and she couldn't wait to go and see her friends and the new materials in the classroom. She was also excited to be a big sister to Heidi and to help walk her to her classroom in the morning.

Amy's Lunch

black grapes, strawberry hearts, 

carrot sticks, goldfish smore's, vitamin gummies

craisins, cantaloupe

ham sandwich on a bun

Somehow we managed to run out of bread already! The girls love these little Portuguese rolls so it worked out wonderfully.  Amy did not eat her goldfish or carrots because they got mixed up and were "yucky". Good to note for next time.

Rose's lunch

blueberries, strawberry hearts

grape tomatoes, carrot sticks, mini cup of dip

vitamin gummies, cantaloupe, goldfish smore's

hand and cheddar sandwich bun

Rose said "those goldfish were delicious" and she ate them all. I decided that I would make Heidi lunch and keep it in the fridge until she got home from school. It worked out great as she said that she was starving as soon as she walked in the door and all I had to do was take her lunch out of the fridge. I have been trying out the EasyLunchboxes this summer. This is the first time posting one. So far we like them but we haven't actually taken them out and about too much, mostly to the pool in the summer. No complaints! They aren't marketed as leakproof so I would not pack yogurt like this and send it off to school. Others have said that you can put a piece of press n seal over the yogurt and send it that way, or use a small lidded container inside. There is a brand new product added to their line up called mini dippers. These are leak proof, and while I don't have any yet, it would be a great option to contain yogurt.

This was a pretty fast at home lunch from yesterday. I used a Hello Kitty rice mould as a cutter to cut out the Hello Kitty mini sandwiches. When I served it to Amy she instantly proclaimed that she isn't going to eat those bows. Literally the first words out of her mouth! I told her to please try it - she licked it and said no way!

Oh, that picky one. She ate all of the rest though.

Rose - Pooh Bear

teddy grahams and a Pooh boiled egg

Only a few teddy grahams, a couple of grapes and the boiled egg yolk were left uneaten. (well plus the hot dog bun since Amy doesn't like the bun!?!)

Everyone has pizza lunch at school today - so a little bit of fruit for Amy & Rose to go with it. Both girls have the same: honeydew melon, grapes and a mini PB heart sandwich. I used Pepperidge Farm very thin sliced bread so it's a true mini!

Rose's Lunch

vanilla yogurt w/ sprinkles in the HK cup, cucumbers & carrots

grapes, clementines, honeydew melon

bologna sandwich with HK stencil

Amy's Lunch

HK egg, HK cup with PB for her carrots, cucumber

honeydew melon, clementine, grapes

cinnamon bread & butter with food writers HK drawn on

(you'll just have to trust me I know it's hard to see!!)

There is a story behind this lunch! I was all set to make two lunches exactly the same and then I was spotted making lunch. The crowd gathered. Rose was thrilled once she saw sprinkles. Amy - not so much. She did not want yogurt like her sister, and she only wanted a ham sandwich (which we didn't have!). We settled on her favourite cinnamon bread & butter, so I had to throw in a last minute protein punch of a boiled egg! You might know there is no such thing as a last minute boiled egg and I did not have jumbo eggs so it didn't come out so pretty. Plus drawing HK on swirly bread was pretty difficult. She knows it's Hello Kitty and she loves when I draw on her bread,  so she's happy :) Phew.

 Rose's

chocolate chip cookies, clementine, orange pepper strips,

sunflower seeds in the HK cup (it's hiding near the bottom)

A Hello Kitty snack for the last day of camp.

cantaloupe, grapes & chocolate chips in the HK container

The egg looks more like HK in real life. The photos do not do it justice.

Hello Kitty for Amy in a Gladware lunch container.

grapes, clementines, craisins ( in the Hello Kitty cup), sesame crackers

peanut butter sandwich with Hello Kitty stencil in cinnamon

Hello Kitty boiled egg, carrot sticks, grape tomatoes, cucumbers

She loved the Hello Kitty in cinnamon but still wouldn't eat the tomatoes.

Oh well - it was still worth a re-visit!

Only one lunch to make this morning as R is still sick. So with a little extra time on my hands I decided to try something new - stencils. Well a single stencil really. It was OK for a first try but I got some strays around the edge. Plus the image wasn't defined extremely well. Oh and I also did it backwards so her bow is on the wrong side - what a great first try - LOL. Still it was totally recognizable and Amy was thrilled - which might have something to do with the fact that is was made from pink sugar!! With a little practice I think I just might like stencils. So here's her lunch for today.
