Angry Birds...

Here's one more lunch from the summertime......Angry Birds. We love Angry Birds!!!! Z loves to play the game, and I have to admit, so do I! This lunch went over very well with Z. I found the cute AB tin when I was shopping at my favorite thrift store (thrift store shopping is a favorite pastime of mine). It went along quite well with the lunch. 

In this lunch:

*Applegate bologna and cheddar cheese Angry Bird pig sandwich made using the CuteZCute  pig cutter, decorated with candy eyes and black food marker

*pretzel rods 'house'

*blackberries and grapes

*green olives

*carrot rounds and red cherry tomatoes

A very Heart-y lunch...

February is usually the month with lunches full of hearts, hearts, and more hearts. But, I love hearts all year round. So, today's lunch is a very hearty lunch. Get it....heart-y lunch?? I like how this lunch turned out especially the frozen strawberry applesauce heart. Hearts just make you happy no matter the time of the year, don't they?

This lunch is packed in Easy Lunch Boxes.
*double heart peanut butter and all-fruit spread sandwiches with heart pick in the center
*honey wheat pretzel sticks
*heart shaped carrots and black olives
*heart shaped Red Delicious apple
*all natural applesauce with frozen strawberry applesauce heart in the middle (the frozen heart will have thawed by lunchtime.)
*one pink conversation candy heart (yes, this is from a box that I bought when all the Valentine's Day candy was marked down 80%. I found this unopened box 'hiding' in my pantry. The expiration date  was still good, so Z and I did a taste test on them, and they got a thumbs up! Gotta love marked down holiday candy!!)

Good Bites sandwich box....

Don't you just love it when you find great things for making lunches when you least expect it? I found this super cute Good Bites sandwich box at ToysRUs the other day, and of course, I just had to get it. I love how it has the 2 separate compartments, and it's a really nice size. There is also a place on the lid for a 'Post It' note message or some other cute sticker. Z had no trouble putting the lid on, either. I paid about $6 for it, so it's pretty inexpensive which is a plus. So, I give the Good Bites sandwich box a thumbs up!

Happy little dinosaur....

All this week, my little guy's class is studying about dinosaurs. We love dinosaurs in our house. So, of course, one of his lunches had to be a dinosaur theme. I froze some of the yogurt in a dinosaur shaped Jello mold to make the frozen yogurt dino. I wish I had frozen a different colored yogurt to make it stand out more, but it's still cute. This is a great idea for keeping the yogurt cold. By lunch time, it will have thawed enough to eat. Plus, this adds a ton of cuteness to a lunch. I've seen several other food bloggers freeze yogurt like this in a variety of cute shapes....stars, animals, flowers. Any cute shape Jello mold or ice cube mold will work great. I'm on the lookout now for cute shaped molds!

Puzzle pieces lunch

Today's lunch is pretty simple and easy. I used the Lunch Punch Sandwich Cutters in the puzzle shapes set. Lunch Punch has several different shaped cutter sets that can be used to create cute sandwiches very quickly. I used it to cut the apple and strawberry. It think would be great to use with cheese, fruit leather, and veggies, too.
