Cam has a piggy bento for lunch today. I think I’ll go ahead and keep the animal themed bentos going through the end of the week.
In today’s lunch Cam has a PB & Co. White Chocolate Wonderful PB & strawberry preserves sandwich, organic fruit leather “oink!”, an all natural gummy heart, cheese pigs, Annie’s Cheddar Bunny Snack Mix, grapes, and carrot coins.
As I was looking around for lunch ideas last night, I happily discovered that I had lots of kitty bento stuff – most of which I hadn’t used yet. So I made a kitty cat bento for my kitty cat loving kid.
We had an impromptu sandwich spread taste test after school yesterday. Cam said she was ready to try peanut butter again so once the shock wore off, I grabbed every jar of anything that would spread on a cracker I could find. I figured I might as well milk this opportunity for all it was worth.
She tried Biscoff spread, PB & Co. White Chocolate Wonderful, PB & Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams, and regular old peanut butter.
Oddly enough, she had already tried a couple of these items before and swore to me that she hated them.
Well guess what? This time she liked them all.
Kids are fickle.
Biscoff won the taste test by a landslide. Followed by the white chocolate peanut butter, the dark chocolate peanut butter, and lastly – regular peanut butter.
Since she was so fond of the Biscoff, I put some in her lunch today in the middle of a kitty sandwich with a teeny bit of jelly. She also has cat-shaped cheese (oh my word), carrot coins, and Annie’s Cheddar Bunny Snack Mix in the cat cup.
Camryn has a simple lunch today.
This is because Mommy stayed up way too late watching the Oscars last night.
For lunch today, Cam has some deli chicken rolled up and skewered with cute picks for easy munching, butterfly cheese, pretzels, carrot coins, grape tomatoes, grapes, and a juice box.
Items used in this lunch:
Happy Friday!
The couscous is making another appearance. What can I say? The kid likes her couscous.
We had some grilled chicken leftover from dinner last night so I added a few pieces along with a bit of green leaf lettuce which Cam likes to munch on every now and then. She also brought two happy cheese faces in their party hats to lunch today.
I found out during Math Night earlier in the week that the Assistant Principal at Cam’s school comes in to the cafeteria every day to see what she has for lunch. How cute is that? I hope she gets a kick out of today’s lunch.
Camers also has mandarin wedges, grapes, all natural peach and mango gummy hearts, and two star-shaped cookies from The Fresh Market.
Have a fantastic weekend! ♥

Every now and then my husband will ask me to pack his lunch for work.
So I thought, why not include one of his lunches here on the blog?
So here is last night’s lunch, packed in an Easy Lunchbox:
In his lunch:
Cam’s school had a math based scavenger hunt at a local grocery store last night. She adores math and actually does math workbooks for fun so we thought this would be right up her alley. We were right!
Each kid was given a list of tasks based on their grade level and when their sheet was filled out completely, they turned it in to the Assistant Principal in exchange for a goodie bag and some popcorn.
She had such a good time last night so I thought I would make her a fun lunch today to remind her of her super fun scavenger hunt.
In this lunch:
There were also some meal time conversation cards in her little bag of treats so I thought it would be fun to include one today.
I’m not sure why I waited so long to buy a set of Easy Lunchboxes.
I mean, I’m not a lady who makes rash purchases. I do a ridiculous amount of research before I buy anything, but all the reviews I read for Easy Lunchboxes had been overwhelmingly positive. And the great majority of my bloggy friends love them and use them often.
Not that I’m a gal who gives in to peer pressure but if that many people think these containers are so fantastic, how could they be anything but? Right.
Maybe it was the non-conformist in me. I’m glad she got over herself.
When my big box of bento goodies came the other day and I unpacked my new set of Easy Lunchboxes “Brights” – I have to say that I was happily surprised at how sturdy they felt. The lids are brightly colored and just so happen to be Cam’s favorite colors too. Naturally she assumes that I planned it that way. I’m not telling her any different. She’s happy, I’m a genius – Winning.
Pictured below is Cam’s first ELB lunch just before it made its maiden voyage to school this morning.
In today’s lunch:
Today’s bento has a bit of a bear theme happening.
Or maybe it’s a B theme. Bears, bunnies, berries – yep. Let’s call it a B themed lunch.
There are four turkey sandwiches stamped with bears, one of which happens to be wearing a little hat. The cuteness is almost … unbearable.
Yeah, I’ll stop.
Next to the sandwiches is a bear cup with two grape tomatoes and a bear pick. Also in this bento is some Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies snack mix and a few strawberries.
Today’s bento full of flowers contains:
Items used in today’s lunch:
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today’s lunch is sweet. Like, literally sweet.
There’s a lot more sugar happenin’ in that bynto up there than I normally send for lunch but I think that today calls for a little extra sweetness. 😉
In the top tier there are carrots and cheese hearts in the silicone heart next to a chocolate snack cake.
I made two heart-shaped chocolate hazelnut spread sandwiches and topped them with organic fruit leather and Valentine’s gummies.
I started feeling really guilty late last night about not making any special treats for my kids so I popped some popcorn, added a few chocolate candies and pretzels, covered them in melted white chocolate and hot pink sparkly sprinkles, and then drizzled dark chocolate over the top. That concoction is in the bottom tier.
I hope your Valentine’s Day is sweet ♥
