"Don't cha wish your girlfriend(wife) packed lunch like me?" Mommy's and Daddy's Lunch:   Grilled pork chops over green beans grilled red potatoes and grapes I don't really care if my husband gets teased about his lunches. I don't think he does either. He rarely eats lunches, so when he was participating in the Crossfit Open last March, he needed to maintain a healthier eating routine, I was a little more giddier than he was to pack his lunches too. I didn't take many pictures of them, since he didn't care much for presentation, but with EasyLunchBoxe s, it was easy to arrange the food in different compartments. Last weekend, he participated in a mud/foam run in Chicago with the some of the athletes at our Crossfit box. It was a 2.5 hour bus ride each way, so he needed to pack lunch and a post-race dinner.  Of course I jumped on that opportunity to pack his lunches too. :) Mud Run Munchies Juices for carbs, water, prote...

A few weeks ago, my baby girl turned 6 eyars old! She wanted a rainbow themed party.  Thanks to inspiration overload from Pinterest , I pulled off a rainbow party with only having a couple days of execution. It was a stressful week due to personal reasons, so I didn't get to DIY party stuff like I usually do. I'd like to thank my friend Mindy for letting me borrow the table cloth and the cake tutu she made for her daughter's Unicorn party in April. Miss C's Rainbow Birthday Lunch: (aka, leftovers from  her birthday party) Fruit - blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, & strawberry cheese and crackers, organic fruit snacks cauliflower, peppers, carrots and cucumbers (not pictured: yogurt ranch for dipping)

Under the Sea Lunch: Miss C's Lunch : Goldfish Sandwich (ham and cheese) cucumbers and strawberries Goldfish crackers Seafood lunch: Mommy's Lunch: leftover deep fried shrimp carrots with LC cheese strawberries and prunes (not pictured: greek yogurt with honey) packed in  EasyLunchBoxes

Miss C's Lunch: ham and cheese pinwheels "ants on a log" (celery, PB, raisins) strawberries on a butterfly cup trail mix (nuts and dried cranberries) Mommy's Lunch: Almond Thai Chicken (Paleo version using almond butter instead of peanut butter) over cauliflower "rice" carrots Chobani Bite - coffee yogurt packed in  EasyLunchBoxes

Miss C's lunch:  Peanut Butter Sandwich Goldfish crackers Carrots w/Ranch Jelly candy Applesauce Miss C loved the store-bought organic applesauce pouches. So when I saw this reusable pouch from Squooshi  I knew we would be able to put it to good use.  There are 2 sizes to choose from, 2.5 and 4.5oz. The Panda is the larger size, I was able to put about 2/3c of applesauce. (I will save the smaller size for the upcoming baby!) Miss C loved the panda pouch and my husband loves the fact that it's dishwasher safe! My toxicologist mother would love the fact that it's BPA-free, PVC-free, lead-free and phtalate-free. I love the fact that it's both cute and environmentally friendly! The peanut butter sandwich was cut out using  CuteZCute  panda cutter. Panda picks and cups are from AllThingsForSale
