Lunch Made Easy: Weekly School Round-Up #NutFree #GlutenFree #AllergyFriendly

What a fabulously fun last week and half!  I was in Las Vegas for the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference (#FABlogCon) until Monday. It was such a great experience - filled with laughter, tears, education, and surrounded by inspiring advocates within the gluten free & food allergy community. 
I'll be sharing more from this year's conference in the next week or two, but you can read my recap from last year if you want to know more about it. 
Just because this Mama is gone, Little Miss still has to eat! Here's a round-up of our latest lunch posts we've been sharing on Facebook and Instagram. Make sure you're following us there too! 

Lunch Made Easy: Nut Free & Gluten Free Fun Lunches

Lunch Made Easy: School {Allergy Free} Bento Round Up!

Due to the cold, snowy weather here it was another short week for Little Miss. She actually only had three days of school (two were snow days) but I had already made her school lunch for Thursday, so she just ate it at home. Easy peasy!
Here's what she enjoyed this week {Gluten Free, Peanut Free, Tree Nut Free, & More}:

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: 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!

Lunch Made Easy: Some Bunny Loves You!

Hey-yo! My bento blogger friends and I are having a Bunny Hop! Make sure you check out the bottom the post for more details! ;-)

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: New Gluten Free Adventures

Little Miss had been experiencing chronic stomach aches for a couple months now and I started to think back about other possible "red flags" (randomly throwing up, "bathroom issues", overall tiredness, etc. - usually triggered during or after meal times). So, I started doing some research and asking questions to some of my other allergy mamas and my bento blog buddies.

I had a feeling that it must be an intolerance to something - figuring it had to be gluten or dairy. After doing more analyzing and discussing her signs/ symptoms with the fella, he really felt gluten might be the culprit, as well. So we decided to start a trial for a few weeks to see if by eliminating it from her diet we might see improvement in those above mentioned areas.

Monday's lunch is her first gluten free bento (and as always, nut free):

Lunch Made Easy: Hoppy Friday!

The next theme on the Bento Blog Network Bento of the Week Challenge are Sandwich Balls, aka "Bread Onigiri" (here's a good tutorial I found, if you're interested ---> Bread Onigiri)

As I made the balls, I did a couple different sizes as I wasn't sure how they'd turn out. Then the idea came to me to make it into a cute little bunny. :)

Little Miss only has lunch at school today and tomorrow this week...
