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!
