Bunny Bottom Snack Box

Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter!

This little snack box of popcorn was easy to decorate with a little sticky tape and a texta pen. The gold coin was a donation for Free Dress Day at school.

Huge Easter Round Up

I've been a little slack posting Easter offerings this year so here's a giant round up of the lunches Miss M has been taking. This first one though was for Honey -her first official Bento Box! This is what I packed for her to graze on while we were at our local Playgroup open day and markets.

Cheese and sultanas, cucumber checkerboard, moulded egg on lettuce, sandwich hearts, celery with peanut butter and sultanas (ants on a log).

Gingerbread man repurposed as a bunny. 

Sides of grapes and salami & cheese, crackers not shown.

Yoghurt pouch beneath the sandwich.

Simple and quick cookie cutter imprint.

Add a few picks to make it super cute.

Easter Egg apple. I got this idea from the Little Bento World Customers group :-)

Practice run of my display lunch for the markets.

Upside-down CuteZCute with bread off cuts for ears.

Grapes and blueberries with a cute little pick.

Gotta love some Bunny Butts!

My new Rabbit vegetable cutter arrived so I had to try it out straight away :-)

Nestled it into some watermelon.

A simple FooDoodler egg

This was the display lunch I ended up making for the Playgroup markets - cute don't you think? I added some bunny picks in the morning after I realised I hadn't already done so :-/

Super quick cheese art. Out of the blue Miss M asked to watch Kung Fu Panda again, so I made her a  Child Rabbit :-)

And another gingerbread man-bunny.

*Phew*

Wishing you and yours a Happy and Safe Easter!

Cross Sandwiches

 Miss M asked for a cross sandwich so this is what I made. The perfect opportunity to try out our Nude Food Movers Lunch Pack which I've had since last year but hadn't played with yet.

A simple cross and some brain break popcorn in the sandwich size boxes. Some grapes & blueberries in one of the snack size boxes.

 I replaced the other snack size box with a  Sinchies pouch of yoghurt and a milk popper.

This is another simple cross I made one night when I was feeling a little less than creative. Served in Nude Food Movers Rubbish Free Lunch Box.

Quickie Pancake Day Lunch

 Goodness! It's almost the end of Lent and I still haven't posted Miss M's Pancake Day lunch!

This is the quickie lunch I sent for Miss M to take on Shrove Tuesday. Simple sandwich with popper, watermelon, yoghurt pouch and picklets with butter & jam.

The picklets were made on the Sunday morning with our breakfast and cooled before adding the spreads. Then I popped them straight into the snack pod and stored them in the freezer until it was time to pack her lunch. Easy as!

Easter April Fools Lunch

I'm having a little fun with Miss M's lunch for April Fools' Day today :-)

A few years ago I made sandwich balls and sent them for lunch inside plastic Easter Eggs. You can read all about it in this previous post. This year I made them a little differently and there's much more room in the eggs now.

And cheese shaped in silicon moulds. I must admit I'm so much happier with this batch than the first lot I ever made (in this previous post). Vaguely following the instructions form Hungry Happenings I melted some grated Colby cheese in the microwave before smooshing it into the silicon moulds. Set in the fridge and then they're good to go. They taste pretty much the same as regular cheese but the texture is a bit more powdery. . . not sure if it's something I did, or if it just works that way.

I did think if I was clever I could colour the cheese with regular food colouring before moulding it, but then forgot all about it! So out with the FooDoodlers for a little Egg-stra Easter fun.

For sides there's more eggs!

Well, it *is* April Fools' Day. Grapes are a healthier choice after all. And the chocolates that came in them? Well, what Missy doesn't know won't hurt her, right?

That egg? No, it's not an egg either! I've wanted to bake cake in egg shells ever since I first saw the idea years ago. I thought it was over at Not Martha, but now I can't find the original I was thinking of.

They were really quite simple - I used my Kambrook Soup Simple to mix the batter in one easy step. I like how this particular mix is a bit denser when made this way.

Then baked some (cleaned) egg shells with the rest of my mini-muffin batch.

Oh - and the extra batter became Easter gifts for those who prefer a break from chocolate ;-)

Yes! Back to lunch! This is Miss M's brain break along with a few rice crackers. I must admit I'm expecting a little of this lunch to come home. Not because she won't like it, but because now I remember there's fundraising pizza at school today.

Did you play the Fool today?
