Cuddle Palz Bear lunch...

Monday night, we had dinner at my mom's house (Mimi to my boys). Two things you should know about Mimi....Mimi is the most awesome cook, and Mimi doesn't know how to cook for less than 50 people. I obviously benefit from both of these, as my kids eat her cooking as if they've been starving for 2 weeks, and I get to bring home copious amounts of leftovers. YAY for leftovers!! Well, Mimi makes this great cornbread dish that my brother, sister and I have been eating since we were all kids. We have always called it "cornbread stuff". That's it...just cornbread stuff.  "What is cornbread stuff?" you ask. Cornbread stuff is cornbread with a layer of ground beef and sausage, creamed corn, onions, mushrooms, and a ton of cheese all cooked into the middle until it is ooey gooey melted goodness. Holy haberdashery Batman!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about this dish. It really is super scrumptiously delicious. Yes, my kids ate it Monday night as if I hadn't fed them all day. She made 2 huge cast iron skillets, and to my delight, cornbread stuff came home with us. Over the weekend, I made the Pasta  Fagioli, and it turned out very good. So, Tuesday's lunch was cornbread stuff and Pasta Fagioli. They were some happy boys!

*homemade Pasta Fagioli with Colby-Jack cheese on top- I cut the cheese with the CuteZCute Cuddle Palz bear cutter and placed it on top of the Pasta Fagioli after it was heated so that it would get all ooey, gooey, and melty. This soup is delicious. My kids love it. You can find the recipe for it HERE.

*Nonni's almond pistachio crisps- These crisps are a cross between a biscotti and a chip. My kids love them for a snack. They have no added color, no preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup, and are loaded with pistachios and almonds. I bought these at Super Target, and they have quickly become one of our favorite snacks.

CuteZCute Cuddle Palz Koala lunch...

If you visit The Lucky Lunchbox often, then you already know how much I love the CuteZCute line of cutters and stamps. The CuteZCute Animal Friends deco cutter set is by far one of my favorite sets to use, and the Animal Palz set runs a close second. Both of these sets are easy and fun to use, and the possibilities for super cute creations with them are endless. You can see my Panda lunch made using the CuteZCute Animal Friends kit HERE, and my Mess of Monkeys lunch made using the Animal Palz kit HERE.

Recently, CuteZCute released it's newest baby......the Cuddle Palz sandwich cutter and cookie stamp kit. I'm so excited to be one of the first ones to receive this kit to try out. Like the original CuteZCute Animal Friends, there are several cute options in one kit. Actually, the Cuddle Palz kit has over 40 fun and creative options. With this system, you can create a bear, a koala, a hamster, or a tiger shaped sandwich. I decided to make a koala sandwich my first time using it, and it turned out adorable. The Cuddle Palz kit also comes with this cute koala pick to help remove small cut-outs from the cutters. But, it makes a great fun food pick, as well. I used it for Z's hotdog. Cuddle Palz gets a thumbs up from The Lucky Lunchbox.
