Lunch Made Easy: Wheels for Wednesday

It was a busy evening tonight. I quickly made lunch for Little Miss before I headed to a parents meeting tonight at her school (an informal discussion about some new building plans - Yay!) Anyhoo, just got home about a bit ago, so I finished making the fellas lunch, typing up my post to you all now, and then wind down time for a few... busy day again tomorrow.
OH and I should probably tell you all that Thursday (post tomorrow night) will be my last lunch this week because we are going on vacation (WOOT!) I don't want to say too much about the details *yet* because I plan on having some posts about it when we return. :)
I WILL however have some amazing posts I've set up to run while I'm gone featuring some of my favorite bento bloggers and their gorgeous lunch box ideas ~ so be sure to check them out over the next several days!!

Lunch Made Easy: Miss & Mama Bentos

Here are Monday's bentos for Little Miss and for Mama :)

Lunch Made Easy: Hugs & Kisses Little Misses

"Hugs and Kisses Little Misses" - this is something I actually say to Little Miss before bed quite often. :) I don't even remember how long ago I started it but as I was making this bento it made me smile thinking about it as the title.

Lunch Made Easy: Luvin' Lunch

Thursday's lunch is a whole lotta LUV and a whole lotta LUNCH in one fantastic EasyLunchboxes container.

Lunch Made Easy: Bagels & Stars, Oh my!

Wednesday's lunch is kind of a hodge podge of goodies :) but she was excited about it when I asked her if it was okay (lol).

Snackable: Valentine's Treat Idea

Every day in conjunction to Little Miss's lunches, I also pack her a morning snack for school. I don't post about them since they're usually a container of goldfish crackers, a Sunbutter Crunch bar, a banana, or something along those lines...

Since I've been having so much fun making Little Miss her Heart themed bentos, I was excited to share this adorable treat/ snack idea with everyone. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Hearts-A-Plenty

Ahh, back to the love, lol <3

I was excited to use it for Little Miss...

Lunch Made Easy: Pinwheels & Hearts

Thursday's Lunch - woot! That much closer to the weekend!

Lunch Made Easy: Hello Kitty and Other Yummy Stuff

I realized Hello Kitty hadn't made a lunch box appearance in quite some time. She was overdue since she's on the top of "things Little Miss loves" list.

Lunch Made Easy: I love you to the moon and back.

I always like to incorporate things Little Miss is learning about in school into her lunches when I can. (Such as her Apple Day lunch or Very Hungry Caterpillar bentos to name a couple.)
Right now they have been learning about the solar system. They just finished learning about the sun and next are moving onto the moon and stars.

Lunch Made Easy: I Heart Spinach.

In keeping with my hearts I started with Friday's lunch ;) WHICH by the way Little Miss ended up eating AT HOME because she had a Snow Day... not just a snow DAY a snow WEEKEND. We got over 12" of snow at our house. Ugh! At least the roads aren't terrible... now. lol
Oh well, she LOVED it and that's all that matters. :)

Lunch Made Easy: I Heart You.

Hooray for Friday! <3

It might seem early to start on the heartsy type lunches, but I don't care :-P lol
I bought some heart & Valentine's themed goodies from Target and couldn't wait to use them.

Lunch Made Easy: I love leftovers.

Little Miss asked for leftovers in her lunch for Thursday ~ Sounds good to me! lol
The girl will eat anything cold too, she actually prefers it that way. :)

Lunch Made Easy: What's for Lunch on Wednesday?

Reminding all my bloggy-friends to check out What's for Lunch Wednesday?'s over at Bentolunch.net! A great place to link up your own creations and also get inspiration from other bento makers. :)

Here's what I made for Little Miss for Wednesday:

Lunch Made Easy: Tortilla Tuesday

I looked at Little Miss's empty Easylunchbox container and had little inspiration tonight. I must have a case of the Monday nights. ;) Tired and ready to crash!!

Lunch Made Easy: Back to School!

Little Miss is back at it tomorrow (Monday)! She is actually very excited to go back to school and see her friends. She had a playdate twice with one of her BFF's over break, and sees another at church. After service today she told me she missed them all. (Aww, lol)

I'm looking forward to getting back to normalcy and our schedule. (Even though it's always hectic, hehe.)

Lunch Made Easy: On the road again...

On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again... NOT. ;)

Today Little Miss is all over the place with me - I'm on the road for work and have a meeting later today so I packed us up some lunches early this AM and snacks so I wouldn't be forced to stop for a Happy Meal instead. (*Points for Mama!* lol)

Lunch Made Easy: One for me and one for you!

Time to get back on the bandwagon... Little Miss and I have been eating way too  many sweets over the holidays. I still make sure her meals are balanced, but this Mama hasn't been doing a good job of sticking to my own regimen.

Food for Thought: Banana Strawberry Orange Muffins

Candy Girl over at BentOnBetterLunches said it best "How I LOVE muffins, it's so easy to sneak in extra goodness, and the sproutlets just see them as little cakes!" Mama sees it that way too. ;)

After what seems like waaaaay too many holiday treats, cookies, cakes, etc this recipe sounded like the PERFECT thing to make today. Mmm...
