Lunch Made Easy: What came first, the fish or the fish stick?

This has been another hectic week of busy schedules, late nights, birthday parties, me not feeling well, and Little Miss has Girls on the Run practice twice a week.
So lunches have been simple... quick... but still fun & nutritious, with little added touches thanks to our bento supplies of food picks and cutters, as well as, Lunchbox Love Notes. 
If you've missed our lunch pictures from this week, make sure you're following our social media outlets since if they don't get blogged, they get posted with a photo on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

Lunch Made Easy: Shark Week! #GFCF #NutFree

We decided to kick off this Monday morning with a little lunch box fun! 

It's SHARK WEEK! So, why not make a bento? Really, it was just a great excuse to some of our sea creature cutters.

Lunch Made Easy: Throw Together Thursday

Hello!! First let me say, the fella and I had a wonderful few days away. Nice to get some "adult time" and relax. I shared just a few pics from our trip on Instagram, if you'd like to check them out here.

We got back last night and boy am I tired! But I wanted nothing more than to just keep hugging my Little Miss - I swear she grew another two inches while we were away. Funny how that works, huh?

Being gone also meant we have a lack of groceries in the house. Thankfully, I was able to throw together this delish School Lunch for my girl. Tuna salad is one of her favorites!

Free from Gluten, Peanuts, & Tree Nuts:

Lunch Made Easy: Silly Sandwiches

Since my daughter has a severe peanut allergy, I take no chances with cafeteria food for her at school so I pack her lunch every day.
On the days I actually get up on time *ahem* (c'mon, 4am comes so quick sometimes and I am dragging until that first cup o' coffee is in my system!) I take the time to make her a "Silly Sandwich".
My inspiration for starting to do for her over a year ago was the book Funky Lunch - the sandwiches they create are SO cute and inspiring! They do a much better job than me; Their sandwiches are like a piece of artwork for kids!... and adults too! :)
ANYWAYS, knowing the foods my daughter does and does not like I tried to simplify and quickify (I know that's not a real word, but roll with me on this)  the process and create some silly sandwiches to surprise her at lunch time with a smile!
