Chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes

Fruit crumble, frozen peas and carrots, homemade chicken nuggets, and mashed potatoes.

I know chicken nuggets are made often. They happen to be a huge hit over here and the minions (and The Elder) will gladly eat them. The Elder actually requests them once a week. 

Snowman

This was a fun lunch to make. I used my Easy Lunchbox for this lunch. I made a snowman out of mashed potatoes. I used carrots for his arms and nose. Nori was used for his eyes and mouth. I also have seasoned chicken and frozen veggies.

Chicken sausage and mashed potatoes

This is a "I don't want to make you lunch, so deal with leftovers" day. The mashed potatoes and chicken sausage were leftovers from the night before. The Elder is not a fan of having the exact same thing for lunch that he had for dinner the night before. So normally I try not to do that. Yep, today was not one of the days. The only thing that was different from dinner is the Milky Way candy bar. The corn is not leftover other than the fact there was still some in the freezer. Although we did have corn with dinner the night before.

Lunch tomorrow is kinda cute. I promise!

Everyone has been ill for a while now.

With everyone being so ill, lunches have been soup or snack like bland foods. Sometimes all anyone would eat was a slice of cheese and half a banana. :-/ Poor Tyke ended up with pneumonia which they think was helped along by the crazy acid attacks. Maybe some of that went down the wrong tube and then created a nice place for things to grow.

So there has not been any interesting lunches made.

The Elder has had some lunches. So instead of remaining MIA, I will post what I have made him until the minions start eating half way normal again.

This did not turn out as well as I thought it would. We have chocolate, green beans, leftover mashes potatoes (the real deal) and mini meatloaf monsters. The red tomato wedges were suppose to be Santa hats. Needless to say it looks odd. The teeth are made from ham and the eyes are peas.

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

Our first Easy Lunch Box ~ meat dinosaur

* Special news at the bottom!

I LOVE my Easy Lunch Boxes and I haven't even used them yet! The boxes are thicker than the other brands. This will com in handy when The Elder takes them to work. It is harder for him to grab and hang onto things with his disability. So sometimes things get smashed. As you can see, there is plenty of room for food. Today's lunch is for The Elder. I finally have talked him into packing a lunch instead of taking a microwave meal. 

I am sure this is not what he had in mind. Poor, poor Elder. Hahaha. Ok, I don't feel bad at all. They all know I am crazy.

I attempted to make 2 dinosaurs out of ground meat. Sadly they didn't hold up to well. I used 2 dinosaur food pick heads to make them look better. I hope The Elder returns with them. Also we have a volcano made out of homemade mashed potatoes with some butter under the carrot lava. In addition to that, we have some steamed broccoli.

The last compartment did not come out as well as planned. Believe it or not, what looks like stewed tomatoes is really cooked apples with the skins left on (red), cinnamon, lemon juice, and a little raw sugar.
