The Week in Bentos: September 23-27, 2013

Here are this week’s lunches. The boys were in synch this week, so you’ll see a few duplicates down below.

Monday

Wyatt started the week off with this Batman lunch: strawberries, goldfish crackers in a square silicone cup, grapes and deli ham roll-ups on a Batman pick (found on clearance at Target a couple months ago). This was packed in our LunchBots Trio.

Augie also had deli ham roll-ups along with goldfish, grapes, cucumber slices, dried cranberries and a car cup filled with yogurt raisins. I packed this in our school bus bento box.

Tuesday

Last week, one of Wyatt’s friends brought a pizza quesadilla in his lunch and Wyatt completely flipped out over how wonderful, fun and delicious it was. He asked if I could make him one for his lunch and I had to laugh because I’d bookmarked that exact recipe as one to try in Weelicious Lunches only a few days before! I picked up the ingredients at the store on Monday — tortillas, grated mozzarella, tomato sauce and mini pepperonis — and quickly heated it up as I made breakfast and packed the other elements in the lunch boxes on Tuesday. After letting it cool completely, I packed it into an EasyLunchboxes box along with goldfish crackers and strawberries.

When Augie saw what Wyatt was having, he wanted one in his lunch too, so I packed one for him in the PlanetBox. He also had goldfish, dried cranberries, strawberries, grapes, cucumber slices, and yogurt raisins.

And if you’re wondering… YES! The kids eat the quesadillas cold at lunch time. They both loved them and came home with empty lunch boxes.

Wednesday

On Wednesday, both boys had leftover pasta sent in our thermal jars. I didn’t take a photo of the pasta, but I also  sent goldfish crackers and grapes on the side for each of them so here is a picture of those.

Thursday

I think I set a new record this week, because not only did the boys eat the same lunch once (extremely rare) they did it TWICE! Wyatt wanted another one of those pizza quesadillas so I packed one along with a homemade pumpkin muffin, and some apple slices. It looked boring after I packed it, so I decided to give it some fall festiveness with a couple of scarecrow and squirrel picks.

And here is Augie’s identical lunch! He got space robots in his.

Friday

Today, Wyatt had seaweed snacks, homemade chicken nuggets (recipe coming Monday), strawberries, carrots and parmesan goldfish crackers in the PlanetBox.

I packed Augie’s lunch in the Yumbox: berries, cucumbers, carrots, hummus, a pumpkin muffin with a Mickey Mouse pick and salami.
