Bento Box Thursday

Maisie has HOPE on Fridays, so I will be making Bento Box Lunches for her on Thursdays. We usually do a variation of the boxes all week long, but I decided Friday would be the special lunch day when I actually make an effort at presentation :)

Here is this week's try:

Maisie's lunch
Carrots, leaf-shaped cucumbers, dill dip, milton's crackers, leaf-shaped cheese, leaf-shaped kiwi, almond butter dip

I found a great mini cookie cutter set of fall leaves at the Corelle Outlet for less than $3 :)



Apples and Home Made Trail Mix



Ants on a Log: Celery, almond butter dip, cranraisins



I have to pack enough for the day; my girls are grazers, so they will include snack time for the kids throughout the day.

For Dani and Katie:




I tried something new for dinner tonight: Italian sandwiches. We had chicken that was going to go bad in the fridge, so I threw it in the crockpot with spaghetti sauce and shredded: carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, red, yellow and green peppers, spinach. Add some garlic and let it cook for 4-5 hours on high.

I spread them over some great bread I found and voila, Italian sandwiches:



Of course, I realize now a layer of Mozzarella cheese was really needed and I'll have to try that next time.

And Dani was so tired she almost fell asleep at dinner:
