Lunch Made Easy: Fun Day!

Tomorrow is "Fun Day!" at Little Miss' school ~ Much like the Field Day I had as a kiddo in school - outdoor activities, races, contests, etc. Although it's suppose to rain, so most likely they'll be having it in the gymnasium.

Lunch Made Easy: Hello Kitty Returns!

Little Miss always love random Hello Kitty appearances in her lunchbox. This one is simple, but will make her smile when she opens the lid of her EasyLunchBoxes container tomorrow. :)

Lunch Made Easy: LunchBots for Little Miss

Wednesday's lunch for Little Miss is packed in her LunchBots Duo.

She has McCain's smiley potatoes, a nitrate free hot dog I cut up into flowers, carrots with dip, and watermelon dices.

Simple and delish! :)

Lunch Made Easy: Pay It Forward - Bento Blessings

For about a year, I have been communicating with and following the needs of a school in Kalamazoo, MI called Tree of Life.

When I saw on one of their recent update letters that they were in need of some lunch fulfillment, I knew right away it'd be the perfect way to contribute to the school.

Bento Blessings!

Lunch Made Easy: Butterfly Bento

What a wonderful weekend spend with family and friends.

It was also emotional at church service Sunday AM with a time of reflection honoring our service men and women, along with their families. Not only that, I witnessed a dear friend get baptised. It was so moving to hug her before she walked down, tears in her eyes... which of course made me tear up! How could it not?! So amazing.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

Lunch Made Easy: Bento by Little Miss

We got home a little late this evening. While dinner was cooking, I asked Little Miss what she wanted for lunch tomorrow. She first said "ooo ooo SunButter & Jelly" and then excitedly announced "but I wanna make it again Mom, I wanna make it!"  SOLD! lol ~ I present to you Friday's Lunch, a Little Miss Creation :)

Lunch Made Easy: Chicken Parmesan Cup & GF Pasta

Little Miss called her lunch for tomorrow "fancy", lol.

I just call it delicious!

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday - Cinnamon French Toast

Welcome to another MOMables Monday lunch folks! :)
It was a nice evening to refer to my MOMables menu plans ~ I ran my first official 5K race this afternoon and it also happened to be the hottest day of the year (91 degrees when we finished!) so I am pooped this evening! MOMables makes it easy to find instant inspiration!

Food for Thought: SunButter & Banana Muffins with Cream Cheese & Grape Jelly Glaze (GF, NF)

One of the things Little Miss and I enjoy doing most on the weekends is having our time in the kitchen together to bake and try new recipes. She LOVES being my lil' Sous Chef! :)

This one is already a big hit with her, and I enjoyed one this morning with a cup of coffee. It tasted like I was eating a sinfully delicious pastry or donut, but instead it's packed with protein and Vitamin E from the SunButter along with the yumminess of bananas which are heart-healthy and a great source of potassium. They're also gluten and nut free, of course!

Lunch Made Easy: SunButter Rice Cake

Little Miss usually gets a rice cake with SunButter once a week, if not in her lunch then as her school snack. (I sometimes share those pics on Instagram if you're ever interested in seeing - you can follow me @keeleymcguireblog).

I always play with raisins decorating them too - flowers, hearts, writing out words like "Hi!" lol, anything to surprise her and make her smile.

Lunch Made Easy: It's a Bynto Bento!

Lunch for Thursday is in Little Miss' Goodbyn Bynto again ~ I'm learning the more I use it better ways to pack more inside those tiny compartments. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Dog Days Night

Oddly enough, I've had this dog and bone cutter sitting in my box of cutters for probably a good 6 months now and haven't used them... LOL, when Little Miss made her lunch this past Sunday evening she saw them and was shocked that I'd been holding out on her! ;) So here you go baby girl!

Lunch Made Easy: Little Bites for Little Miss

This Mama has had a busy day and my evening after making lunches involves some late night work related duties that came up last minute, so lunches were made rather quickly this evening.

Hi Friends!! It's Food Allergy Awareness Week plus it's my BLOG-ivsary Month!! ONE YEAR WOO!

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday - Special Moms Day Off Edition

I hope all of my Mom's, Mama's, Mommy's, Madres, etc had a FABULOUS day today!
Little Miss made her entire lunch by herself this evening. Giving this Mama the night off from lunch making her lunch, yet still getting to have fun watching and seeing her be so proud of her own creations. Priceless!

Lunch Made Easy: Smiles & Style

Woohoo! TGIF! :)

Little Miss requested lunch in her Goodbyn Bynto again - I think she just loves the stickers and because it's "something new", lol...

Lunch Made Easy: Simply Made

Another simply made lunch for my Little Miss on Thursday.

Lunch Made Easy: Quick Fix!

I love having these Chebe Pizza Muffins done and ready to grab - it makes packing lunch so quick!

Lunch Made Easy: SunButter Swiper Sandwich

"That silly fox is always trying to swipe our stuff!"

I got these small Dora containers from Target at 70% for a pack of two - so I had been waiting to use my $0.30 deal!

When I saw this swiper sammie on Pinterest I couldn't wait to make a version with SunButter for my Little Miss!

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday

Welcome to another MOMables Monday! :)

Little Miss asked I pack her lunch in her new Goodbyn Bynto box, so I obliged.

Lunch Made Easy: May the 4th be with you!

I wish I could put some cool Star Wars  scrolling text here for my intro. lol

Friday is May the 4th. Better known as Star Wars Day!

I had originally planned to do a Cinco de Mayo themed lunch for Friday, but after my fellow bento bloggers wanted to do a hop for Star Wars, I decided to let Little Miss choose.

I was certain she would choose Cinco de Mayo, being that we just went to Mexico in February and she loves taking Spanish in school... to my surprise she excitedly answered "Star Wars!"

Her reason: "All da boys play Star Wars at recess... and I love playing with the Yoda doll Nana has at her house. I want Yoda, I want Yoda!" And so, it was decided. 

Lunch Made Easy: Flower Bagel Bites

Well, I only got home about 45 minutes ago from a long day of travel for work. In that time managed to make two lunches, nibble on some leftover dinner, and put on my pajamas. Now here I sit blogging and then to button up some loose ends for work..that 3am alarm is going to be here before I blink! Good thing I operate well on very little sleep. :)  

Lunch Made Easy: Bunny Box

Little Miss requested some of her Chicken Apple Sausage in her lunch for tomorrow. I try to mix things up so I don't serve the sausage the same way every time, so I figured I'd do a different take on the "MOMables: Classic Deli Box" I made for Little Miss a couple weeks ago that she loved!
