Halloween Hangover

Dinner was take out pizza and wings tonight so I packed some leftovers for lunch tomorrow.


Stella has leftover pizza and wings, a kit kat bar, some oranges, star fruit and sliced kiwi.


Thomas has leftover pizza, a kit kat bar, some wheat thin veggie chips, oranges, star fruit and sliced kiwi.

Snap Pea Crisps

This will be the last lunch of the week. The kids do not have school on Friday:) Thomas and Stella's lunch look the same for tomorrow. They have two turkey roll ups, some flat bread crackers, snap pea crisps, half of an orange cut up, two slices of kiwi and some cut up pears.

Turkey Chili

I am still trying feed the kiddos well to fight off any sickness trying to sneak in. I made some homemade turkey chili tonight and loaded it up with lots of yellow and orange peppers, some red, white and pink beans and also diced some fresh tomatoes. It was yummy! I also had leftovers:)


Thomas has leftover turkey chili, a witchy plum, some blue chips and then some star fruit (which he loved!) and some kiwi.


Stella has leftover turkey chili, a witchy plum, some blue chips, sour cream for her chili and some star fruit and kiwi.

I always love checking out all the other lunches at What's for Lunch Wednesday!

Star Fruit

I feel like the twins are on the brink on getting sick. I have heard a sneeze here and there and they have been extra tired at the end of their day. So, I have made sure they are taking their vitamins, tried to get them in bed earlier and focused on packing healthy lunches. It is one of the ways I can try to protect their little immune systems. I cooked salmon and yummy homemade butternut squash for dinner and here is their lunch for tomorrow:



They both have a turkey roll up, some veggie sticks, cut up strawberries, sliced oranges and some star fruit and sliced cucumber. This is the first time I have ever tried star fruit...so yummy!

Mandarin Chicken Salad Sandwich

Tomorrow both Stella and Thomas have some oranges, sliced cucumbers, two grape tomatoes, an open faced mandarin chicken salad sandwich and a bat cookie.

Does a Pumpkin Pick Make it Spooky?

I am so overwhelmed on all fronts this week. Work is stressful and I do not have enough time to do it and at the same time I feel the strongest pull to be with my kiddos this week. I am ridden with mommy guilt but....one foot in front of the other. This is lunch...not a super one but better than what they are serving in the cafeteria:)



Both Thomas and Stella have peanut butter in mini pita's, some raw veggies, mandarin oranges and two bat cookies.

Jack-O-Tangerine

Thomas and Stella's lunch looks the same so I am only posting one picture.

They have the last of the grapes, a jack-o-tangerine, heart shaped sticky rice and some pasta salad, and a mummy dog...or is it a ninja?? Ha! The mummy dogs I packed earlier this week were too big so I made half mummy dogs:)

I can not wait to check out the other lunches at What's for Lunch Wednesday!

Witchy Plums

Both Thomas and Stella have the same lunch for tomorrow. They have a pumpkin shaped turkey sandwich with a cheese cut out to make it orange, a plum, some grape kabobs and two ghost cookies.

My 1st Halloween Bento!

I linked to the blogs where I saw the ideas:)

Tomato and Cheese Kabobs

Talk about living on the edge...I packed lunches this morning while trying to get all the kiddos fed and ready for school. I quickly snapped some pictures too:)

Rice Molds

For the first time in a long time, I packed two different looking lunches.


Thomas has a turkey sandwich with a grape tomato kabob, a confetti muffin, a star shaped sticky rice and two blueberry fig bars.


Stella has turkey roll ups, two blueberry fig bars, a confetti muffin, a bear shaped sticky rice, a grape tomato kabob, some grapes, a heart shaped sticky rice and four wheat thins.

Confetti Muffins

I almost did not pack lunches tonight. This week is super busy and I was feeling like a slacker. But...I did it:) This blog was meant to keep me inspired and it still does!

Thomas has turkey roll ups, some wheat thins, a 'confetti muffin' (I make the Jiffy corn muffin mix and I add shredded carrots, diced green and red peppers and frozen corn. Thomas notices ANYTHING different and he always asks what the red and green things are...I say it is the 'confetti' in the 'confetti muffins'.), a grape tomato kabob, two blueberry fig bars and some grapes.


Stella has turkey roll ups, some wheat thins, a 'confetti muffin', a grape tomato kabob, two blueberry fig bars (which almost did not make it into their lunches because they are soooo yummy!!) and some grapes.


For snacks they have another confetti muffin and some grape tomatoes and some grapes.
