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

Mini meatloaf monster

Well, someone is still use to those nifty microwave meals. So sandwiches just won't do. I still had some left over ground beef from the squid, so I decided to make a meatloaf. You know, it is surprising what yummy and healthy things you can fit into a meatloaf. You can add rolled oats, puree of spinach and a little carrot and even your most picky eater will not notice if you do it right. That is what I did with my little meatloaf. Then I added a topping of BBQ sauce and brown sugar. The eyes are made from carrot and a small piece of ham.

By request I also have pan fried and seasoned potatoes. Those are always a huge hit with the Elder. For sides we have green beans and sweet potato.
