Lunchbox look - Jan. 5-9, 2015

Happy new year and happy new lunch supplies! No theme this week other than unwrapping some new cutters and picks.


Robot! First lunch of the new year uses my new robot cutters, though those nifty letters were cut by hand using a computer printout. We start off healthy with steamed broccoli and a robot ring, sandwich with waxy cheese head, a few mini cookies plus a kiwi, peanut butter pretzels and a Lego box with dried cherries.




Sleeping koala! Look at this little guy, all snuggled up to his spinach-wrapped cheese stick. The nose is a chocolate-covered almond. The koala and its body are from a sandwich cutter set. I filled in the rest with snap peas, peanut butter pretzels, giant strawberries and a handful of raspberries.




Mickey! My child requested no sandwich on this day, so I threw this lunch together while I was making dinner. A handful of green beans from dinner plus strawberries, salami, crackers and checkered apple chunks. Easy as can be (especially when I only checker the apples on top). The apples soak in a ramekin of water and lemon juice while I put together the rest and they don't brown. The new Mickey forks were easy to toss in and make everything taste better.





Hello Kitty! My old standby. While I question my sanity every time I'm carefully dabbing peanut butter on the back of a sprinkle and using tweezers to place it on the bread, I am happy every time. Her eyes and bow are sprinkles and the nose is a chocolate-covered sunflower seet. The rest of the squares have snap pea crisps, a rainbow of tomatoes, Babybel cheese, celery slices and a mini box of dried cherries plus a pile of sweet winter strawberries.


Sealed with a kiss! The first week back to school is so hard, so I thought my daughter might need a little love and a friendly pun to perk her up. The sandwich was cut with a puzzle cutter - just make sure you punch the bread before making adding your fillings to get nice crisp edges. There's celery on the bottom, the welcome return of blueberries with a cute little seal pick plus strawberry hearts and a container with a chocolate Kiss.


Thanks for stopping by!
