Lunch Made Easy: A Week of {Gluten & Nut Free} School Lunches #AllergyFriendly

This is the first week Little Miss has all five days of school in a couple! We survived the snow storms this week - WOO! ;)
Here's our weekly round-up of Allergy Friendly School Lunches. {Gluten & Nut Free} & More:  

What are you {thankful} for?

What are you {thankful} for?

 

When I first started to think of this question, all the funny things came to mind. For Little Miss it would probably be bacon, beef jerky, barbies, "girl legos", and junior mints. lol

 

What about me? Well, at first, I chuckle thinking of Starbucks, sleep, my iPhone, and Shamrock Shakes. You know the necessities. ;)

 

As I started thinking of how to translate those things I am {thankful} for into a lunch, my mind kept coming back to one in particular I made for Little Miss last year. It pretty much sums up the real thankfulness in my heart.

Wednesday's lunch were items all picked out by Little Miss.

So while I was busy packing lunch, she made her very own snack (keep reading to see it)!

Lunch Made Easy: Last Full Day ~ Lunch by Little Miss!

Tomorrow is the last full day of school for Little Miss! *sniff sniff*
She decided for her last lunch at school as a first grader, she wanted to make it herself. How could I refuse such a sweet request!? So she made lunch while I cleaned up dinner.

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 :)

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!

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: Back to Basics

After two over the top bentos Monday & Tuesday, getting back to basics seemed appropriate for Wednesday's lunches. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Little Miss & Mama Bentos

Today was the fellas birthday ~ We had a great dinner out as a lil' fam but that also meant getting home late and then squeezing in bed time stories, teeth brushing, etc for Little Miss so she wouldn't be up too much later than normal bed time (an hour past normal isn't that bad, right!?) :) Then Mama went to work on lunches.
