Create A Shape

One thing I love is getting new toys to play with. When I purchased my Create A Shape mini cutter (you can see this & many of my other tools/toys on this page) the first thing I did was to cut up all the little corner off-cuts from the next day's sandwich

I had layer upon layer of little mini shapes.





















Some had filling (ham and or cheese), and some didn't.

After I'd finished playing I skewered all the pieces, popped into the container with the sandwich & some cherry tomatoes that were supposed to be cut as hearts, I think I got the angle a little wrong :-)

I do love this little cutter set, it was a great set to start me off. Miss M's most requested sandwich 'Pingu' can be made using the storage container as the large cutter, and the small inner circle to cut the eyes. I haven't tried to cut anything too hard (like raw carrot) with this plastic set, but it has handled what I've thrown at it so far

Funny Face Vegetables

Flashback leftovers today.

These roast veges are hiding some roast chicken we had for dinner. The veges are potato, sweet potato, and red, green & yellow capsicums. I added black sesame seeds to the 'eyes'.

This is a simple & constantly evolving recipe for roasting the chicken. It normally starts with chicken pieces, capsicum and BBQ sauce and then whatever takes my fancy at the time. I tend to bake at around 180C for about an hour. Sometimes I bake covered, sometimes uncovered - depending on how much I manage to squeeze into the dish. I do like to serve with crispy roasted vegetables like these potatoes.

Cheerio & Ham Flower

What to send when you're at the end of your grocery week? Some ham flowers topped with a sliced cheerio/mini frankfurt.

Again this is a flashback to last year's lunches.

Little Flower

I must admit I'm kind of glad I have a back log of old lunches I haven't posted yet. Not that I'm not no longer packing lunches, it's just that I haven't been photographing them :-)

This little cookie cutter jam sandwich with black sesame seeds was one of our park lunches last year. And I must admit we are lucky enough that Miss M is still happy to eat her crusts.
