Kiwi Boat and Pasta with Andouille Sausage

For adult lunch we have organic andouille sausage on top of tri colored noodles with an olive oil, garlic, carrot, fresh tomato, and red pepper topping. I also added a piece of summer squash for some color. Besides that we have broccoli and peppermint kisses.

The minions have cheese cubes, lil' smoky links (or whatever they are called), a boat made form half a kiwi and a slice of hot house cucumber, a letter P for Pirate made out of homemade cheese bread, and some Uncle Sams cereal (GMO free).

How did I get the boat and cereal to stay? A little bit of sunbutter does wonders! The minions are so use to me using it for glue that they do not even question it.

All lunches were put into our Easy Lunchboxes

Meatloaf Wednesday

What do frogs have to do with this lunch? Absolutely 

nothing! I just felt like using them. Or maybe I should just say they went with the fudge.

Anyway, for lunch today, The Elder has mashed potatoes and carrots (don't knock it till you try it) and mini meatloaf stuffed with cheese. To the right he has a piece of fudge (not homemade, to lazy) and steamed cauliflower.

 

The minions have a mini stuffed meatloaf, carrots, cauliflower, snap peas, dried cranberries, mozzarella cheese, and an energy ball. On the side they have a Mini Dipper from Easy Lunchboxes filled with Italian dressing.

Why the funny faces on the 2 minions? I have no clue. Tyke insisted I take his picture and he gave me that lovely pose. Then Pork insisted I also take a picture of his dirty faced self. *sighs* I am still trying to figure out where the chocolate on his face came from.

Today's lunches used items from:
The Elder- Easy Lunchboxes
Minions: One tier bento from All Things For Sale and the Mini Dippers are from Easy Lunchboxes

cheater ravioli and kabob minion lunch.

Once again I had problems deciding what to make for lunch. The Elder is not a fan of leftovers. He says I can pack them, but I know him better than that. As I looked through my fridge, I remembered I had wonton wrappers. I swear those things are handy. They are pretty cheap too! I thought about making lasagna cupcakes again, but I was thinking of having those for dinner later this week. So I decided to make mushroom and cheese ravioli.

I know it sounds odd, but it is pretty good. If you are use to the thicker pasta ravioli, it takes a time or two to get use to. I cut up baby portabella mushrooms, added mozzarella cheese, and some Italian seasoning. Then I placed it in the wonton wrapper, used a little egg wash on the edges, and sealed it up. Then I placed them in boiling water for about a minute. I poured some tomato sauce into the bottom of my Easy Lunch Box and placed them on top. I made up some meatballs and turned them into octopus  Then I created a little sea floor using peas, mushroom, pearl mozzarella balls, carrots, and tomato pieces.

To the right of that I have the last of the apple and cranberry mini pies. I used a blackberry and a food pick to make a flower so it was not so boring. Below that is some steamed broccoli with some seasoning salt. 

The minions are not a fan of ravioli. So I made them 2 kabobs with nitrate free salami and mozzarella cheese. I also gave them some snap peas, baby carrots, mozzarella cheese pearls, a piece of broccoli, and blackberries.
