Lunchbox look - Feb. 2-6, 2015

Valentine lunches are some of my favorites so I snuck in a few this week. What's cuter (or easier) than a heart? And that was the whole reason I started packing cute lunches for my child - to serve as an edible love note to help her through the long and sometimes stressful school days.

Love! I thought this turned out great, especially since I hadn't been grocery shopping. Crackers, mini pepperoni and grapes for L. O is a blood orange. V is carrots and celery. E is a cookie and waxy cheese. 

Otter! That teeny little otter pick is one of my favorites. The main dish here is a rolled quesadilla. On the side are carved apples, blueberries, a kiwi and turkey, plus a little cookie in the back.

Tea for two! These silicone teacups are so fun! I freehanded a teapot in cheese and topped it with a few sprinkles. It rests atop a sealed sandwich. There's also a few mini Pocky sticks, veggie and berry cups, tomatoes and a few peanut butter pretzels.

Frog! We had a busy night so I was happy to rely on a cute lunchbox and picks to make this thrown-together meal more fun. The top tier has leftover chicken, tomatoes, celery and cheese cubes. I think it's easier to fill food on the diagonal in these shaped containers. The bottom tier is strawberries and blueberries plus a container of peanut butter pretzels.

Panda! I love this little sandwich sealer and it works great, especially on softer bread. Chocolate peanut butter sandwich is on the left side plus a few cookies and celery sticks. Berries on the right, and we're done!
