Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Lunches

I consider myself and my daughter very lucky that she does not have any nut allergies. 
So we can celebrate National Peanut Butter Day today! 

Peanut Butter and Jelly Dino Sandwich
with applesauce, grapes, celery and ranch

Celery with Peanut Butter
pineapple, hardboiled egg, chips and salsa

Simple PBJ, clementine, raisins and cookies.
This was a last minute "I change my mind, I don't want school lunch today!" 
I literally had less than 2 minutes to find something in the pantry for food to pack.

    Love all your lunches! The Dino is so cute! And good for you to pull off a bento lunch on the fly! My kids often pull the "Oops, I changed my mind" on me :)

    Thanks! Miss C rarely does it and I was lucky enough to at least have a single fruit in the house at the time.
