St. Patrick's Day Bento and another Blog Hop





Later this week, it'll be my husband's second birthday... Okay, not really... but his name is Patrick. :) And I think he's like .0025% Irish or something. And he's a saint. Okay, not really... but at least he has to deal with me so that makes him a saint in my eyes (and to anyone else that know me! ha!).  Anyway...

Here was C's lunch on Monday:
Mini shamrock sandwich bites, shamrock green pepper, 
carrots with ranch and cheese stick
rainbow fruit mini kabobs, key lime yogurt, 
and some Lucky Charms marshmallows
in an EasyLunchbox 

Now I have a big collection of cookie cutters. In fact, I have 4 shoe boxes full of cookie cutters. It could be 5 or 6 even, as I have cutters that I keep in their original boxes. But I don't have any St. Patrick's Day related cookie cutters. So I used a mini heart cookie cutter and arranged them in a circle. Voila! a shamrock!  

We're doing the St. Pat's Day blog hop a few days early, so you can sort through different ideas and maybe do one for Friday or Saturday lunch! Saturday night will be corned beef and cabbage at our house of course! :)


Without further ado, you guys gotta check out Keitha's St. Patrick's Day lunch. (and the next blog, and the next one, then the next one, and so forth)

I can't wait for Saturday. I love corned beef and cabbage!  Do you?

  10. Love the pepper "butt" shamrock!
    I finally found a shamrock cutter, but it was from a bento set! Actually, I think the Pampered Chef mini cutters set has one... and a hot pepper-shaped cutter!

Jolly Holiday Hop

Join us on a Jolly Holiday Blog Hop  sponsored by Bento Blogger and Friends! Miss C doesn't like her sandwiches cut lately. She likes the crust so she's been asking me to just cut her sandwiches in half, diagonally. By cutting the gingerbread out of the bread, Mommy can get her creative on and she can still have her crust. :) Gingerbread Nutella sandwich,  diced chicken with ketchup and green apple packed in  EasyLunchBox Please click on the picture below and look at the yummy lunch made by my friend Christine of My Epicurean Adventures ! note: This post may contain Amazon Affiliate links

Halloween Lunch 2013

There's a creepy, crawly, scary blog hop going on! Halloween is around the corner, so my friends and I put together a Frightful Fall Blog Hop to inspire you to create fun or creepy lunches for the kids this month!  Miss C's lunch Full Moon + Cat Silhouette is made out of cheese and nori.  Waffle and turkey meatballs. Organic peaches cup with Jack-O-Lantern face. Drawing on a peach cup, mandarin orange cup, a clementine is such an easy way to add a little Halloween in a lunch box!  "Mommy, I LOVE what you did with my fruit cup! It was soooo cute! All my friends loved it too!" Click on the image below and hop to  Following in My Shoes  to see another  frightfully yummy lunch Rachel made for lunch!
