Lunch "on sticks"


Someone knows what time it is! Yes, she saw me pick up the boxes and went right for her chair.



One of the boys made the background for me. Sadly the glue does not dry clear.

Tyke was requesting his lunch "on sticks". So I happily complied. We have strawberries, blueberries, and a piece of fresh pineapple on long heart picks. Also I made 2 that has sliced turkey and cheese. Also in the container is a snap pea, date, slice of red pepper, slice of summer squash, and some radish.





The first thing Colonel Sanders grabbed for was her slice of summer squash.




Pork debating on what to eat first.



Do you think Tyke is hungry? Look at him shove that turkey into his mouth!





"I no eat bean phone. I feed to guinea pigs!"





Still enjoying her lunch.

Today in our Easy Lunchboxes we have steamed carrots, some peppermint kisses and quinoa with pork and pears.

Rocket Ship

I was given some quinoa from a friend. It sat in my pantry for several weeks. I had no clue what to do with it. Finally I got tired of it looking at me every time I went looking in there for something, so I decided to use it. I am glad I did. I admit it is a little bland, but it is pretty good. For The Elder's lunch I cooked the quinoa in some chicken stock. Sitting on top of that is some lemon pepper pork with a rocket made out of cheese. I also added some fresh diced tomatoes and cilantro for some extra flavor.  To the left of that I have some peas and Hershey mint kisses for desert.



The boys argued with me when they saw sliced cheese. So they did not get a rocket ship. I ran out of bread, so they got a hot dog biscoff and jelly sandwich  snap peas and carrots. To the right of that they have a cheese stick broken in half and some Halloween marshmallows for desert. 





Tyke looking goofy.
Pork is happy to eat.

Colonel Sanders had no intentions of sitting down to eat. So I put her down and she happily walked around eating her sandwich.

Ready for some exciting news? Aunt Julie will be living with us for a little bit! All the minions are very excited.

For this lunch I used Easy Lunchboxes
