Lunchbox look - Nov. 17 - 21, 2014

The good thing about throwing a party is, well, everything because ... well, party! There's also the vast buffet to choose from when packing your child's lunch at the end of said party. The only downside is the pink tint your lunch picture takes on when you plop that lunch right down on the centerpiece amid a sea of bubblegum pink party decorations.

Party love! This extra deep Lego box is filled Lunchable-style with lots of party leftovers. There's cake, a waxy cheese, maple bacon chips and celery in the top row. On the bottom are Ritz crackers, sliced olives, carrots and grapes. Throw in a mini fork and we're done!

Garden angel! I can't remember what I was actually going for, but that's what my daughter called this and it seemed much more fitting. Those are silicone leaves on top of a sandwich plus grapes, star cookies, leftover mixed veggies and dried fruit in the mushroom container (which is actually a recycled candy dish).

Hello Kitty! Here I again used a silicone divider as clothing. Then there's grapes on picks, cheese cubes in the metal container, carrots and celery plus a box of raisins that I ridiculously accessorized with a strip of washi tape. 

School play! These four sections each relate to a song in my daughter's school play. Quick-steamed broccoli (cooled before adding to the box), leftover pasta salad, half an apple and grapes with star cookies. For the apple, I wrote the word in toothpick across the apple and then cut around those letters with an X-acto knife.

Lion! My young actress suggested I make a lion lunch in honor of her school play's main character. This easy lion is a triple-decker sandwich in a silicone flower cup. Then there's a kiwi, carrots, tropical dried fruits, cashes, peanut butter celery sticks and grapes. 

Thanks for stopping by!
