We’re back to a regular schedule this week and I’m feeling much less pneumonia-y so I have a lot more energy in the mornings. Also, I watched Jamie’s Food Revolution on Wednesday night and it strengthened my resolve to avoid school meals so we’ve got a mostly full week of lunch box photos today.
Monday
Monday, I was scrambling a bit to find enough food to fill Wyatt’s Laptop Lunch Box
Tuesday
On Tuesday, Augie’s lunch for day care was leftover pasta and meat sauce, watermelon chunks and frozen peas.
Wednesday
On Wednesday, I made Augie a special lunch! These rice bunnies were the main focus. I molded the bunny heads in a silicone baking mold that I got at Target the other day. (I have looked and looked and I can’t find a link to it anywhere online but it’s made by Wilton.) The faces were punched out of nori using these punches from J-Box. I surrounded the bunnies with peas and I also packed leftover chicken tikka masala (I rinsed some of the sauce off because it’s too spicy for Augie), fresh strawberries and a few blueberries. Augie was soooo excited when he saw the bunnies. He started jumping up and down and saying “Binnies in my lunch! Binnies in my lunch! I eat it Mama!” which was fun.
Wyatt’s lunch held: pita chips, hummus (in the little tub), strawberries, turkey airplane sandwiches, and lemon yogurt. I wrapped the yogurt in cling wrap so it wouldn’t get all over everything. I know it worked because when I opened his lunch Wednesday night, all of the yogurt was neatly contained and it hadn’t seeped out onto the sandwiches, strawberries or hummus that were all still in the lunch box. That’s right — all Wyatt ate all day long was a small handful of pita chips!
Thursday
On Thrusday, Wyatt’s lunch was apple chunks, pita chips, strawberries and turkey sandwiches cut into race car shapes. I had planned to make his lunch kind of fancy but I totally ran out of time and had to jam the third car (on top of the other two) into that empty space after I took this photo. I did not look fancy at all after I did that.
Friday
We over slept today, so I didn’t have time to make a lunch. So much for Jamie Oliver’s inspiration to avoid the cafeteria!
