Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday... on Tuesday

So after getting home late Sunday evening I wasn't even thinking about the actual fact the next day was Monday... when I usually do my "MOMables Monday" post. Whoops! Sooo welcome to MOMables Monday... on a Tuesday Special! (I'm posting this technically on a Monday evening, so it still counts - right?! My blog my rules - it sure does!)

Lunch Made Easy: Fairy Peanut Free Princess

What a busy weekend! We weren't at our house for hardly any of it but that's okay except the part of not getting home tonight until 8pm. Eek! So that meant stories, teeth brushing, bed time, clean up, then packing lunches for Little Miss and the fella.

Lunch Made Easy: Nana Love

Tomorrow is Grandparent's Day at school so my mother (aka Nana) will be attending a luncheon, art fair, and special musical performance just for the grandparents! Little Miss has been looking forward to it all week!

They did the performance for parents tonight. Thus my later than normal posting - we just got home a bit ago. So I quickly made lunches and am trying to get things settled for the evening. I wanted to do her special "Nana Lunch" more justice but getting home so late simply put a damper on more "cuteness". Oh well, I know she'll still love it!

Lunch Made Easy: Draft Day!

We're rather huge NFL fans in this household and Thursday night is DRAFT NIGHT! Finally!!

The fella is a diehard Lions fan.

I'm a diehard Colts fan. (Spare me your Peyton Manning condolences, please. I'm still in mourning.)

Believe it or not, my Little Miss is a HUGE football fan as well. She watches on Sunday afternoons with us religiously.

She has about 8 favorite teams, lol, so I chose one of them for her lunch tomorrow. Mostly because a star was the easiest to cut out that small for the helmet, hehe... and she really only loves the Cowboys because Sandy Squirrel (SpongeBob) is from Texas... I forgive her for it too. LOL

Lunch Made Easy: Chebe Pizza Muffin (+ Recipe)

I've been using these Chebe Pizza Muffins in Little Miss' lunchbox for almost two months now. I've received a few comments and even emails asking me about them and to post the specifics of how I make them. Sooooo since Little Miss and I needed to bake up another batch over this past weekend, I decided to post the pics I took on the "how-to" with tomorrows lunch. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Homemade Granola Bar & Lunchbox Love

Tuesday's lunch is simple and quickly put together, but still packs a lot of fun into this LunchBots Duo container:

Food for Thought: Cajun Spiced White Fish with Brown Rice

I was soooo excited to try this recipe out over the weekend. It was light and delicious! One this Mama would love to eat over and over again!

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday, Silly Monkey!

Tomorrow is Monday - That means it's another MOMables Monday at our house!

Lunch Made Easy: Taco Leftovers

Little Miss loves when there's leftover taco meat from dinner... because that means she gets leftover tacos for lunch! 

Lunch Made Easy: Lunch by Little Miss

Little Miss requested she pick out all her foods for lunch again tomorrow. :) I happy obliged, of course! I'm always intrigued to see what she'll pick out and what she's got planned, lol... She gave me her list pretty quickly, as if she'd been contemplating it all afternoon! Love it.

Food for Thought: Chicken Parmesan Loaf (GF)

So you know how when you see a recipe on Pinterest that catches your eye and you can't wait to try it... Yeah, this is one I was geeked to give a shot at. Yum! It seemed so simple and delicious ~ And it is.

  

 

Lunch Made Easy: Love our Earth!

Some of you may know that Earth Day is this Sunday (April 22nd).  We should celebrate our love for our planet every day by taking better care of her!! :)

Lunch Made Easy: Simple Little Bites

I love lunches that can be put together quickly but also offer Little Miss lots of simple little bites of different things. Makes for a fun lunch. :)

In the blue flower silicon cup is from a leftover SunButter & jelly sandwich on gluten free, peanut free bread. Instead of wasting it, I cut it up into small bites.
Around it are red seedless grapes.

On the other side of this LunchBots Duo container is a small silicon clover cups of flower cut cheese bites. Beside it are freeze dried mangos.

There are also carrot sticks and a mini banana chocolate chip gluten-free muffin.

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday

It's Monday, so that means another installment in our MOMables Monday posting series!!

Lunch Made Easy: TGIF!! Smile!

Woot! Friday! Finally!! It's been one of those long weeks for us, lol... So I am soooo relieved it's Friday tomorrow. What better way to enjoy lunch then with a smile! Right?! Right! :)

Lunch Made Easy: Pizza Day

All the hot lunch kiddos are having pizza tomorrow, so I pulled one of our gluten-free Chebe Pizza Muffins out of the freezer this morning for Little Miss.

She always loves when she can have pizza-something on days they are too.

Lunch Made Easy: Zesty BBQ Chicken Leftovers

Before I left for work this morning, I had thrown a rotisserie (uncooked) chicken into the crock pot and covered it in an entire bottle of Zesty BBQ Wing sauce. Mmm... we enjoyed it tonight for dinner with steamed veggies. It was delicious! So much so, Little Miss ate three helpings... AND requested some in her lunch! :) 

Snackable: A Turtle's Tale (+ Giveaway!)

Last week Friday, Little Miss and I enjoyed our afternoon with a movie and a snack.

Lunch Made Easy: Lunch by Little Miss

Since I got home at a decent hour today, I made lunches earlier in the evening. I let Little Miss pick out everything she wanted in her lunch. I think she did a pretty good job! :)

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday

Welcome to the next installment in MOMables Monday. :)In case you missed last weeks post, each Monday I'll be drawing inspiration and ideas from the awesome menu planning lunches provided by MOMables.

Food for Thought: HomeFree Cookie Shooter

When I saw these fab Cool Whip Cookie Shooters over at Clevery Inspired, I knew that Little Miss would looooooooooove such a treat. I also knew the perfect cookies to use, our mini crunch HomeFree cookies of course!

Snackable: No-Bake Bitty Bites (Challenge Accepted!)

Jennifer over at Crunch A Color "challenged me" to make a gluten-free version of her No-Bake Bitty Bites.
Challenge Accepted.
Result - DELICIOUS.

Lunch Made Easy: Bunny & Carrot Chips

The idea for these awesome bunny and carrot homemade tortilla chips came from Ludicrous Mama over at Biting My Hand. She made bunny ones for her daughter and I thought they were so clever!

So I knew I wanted to make some for little miss!!

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday

I decided to start a new Monday series, "MOMables Monday".

Each Monday I'll feature a MOMables meal plan lunch for Little Miss.

They really are so great when looking for inspiration and healthy menu ideas!
