Lunch Made Easy: Taco Leftovers = Nachos for School!

I've said it before, "taco night" is probably Little Miss' favorite thing in the world. She and the fella have "taco races" to see who can eat the most.

 

I can say proudly that my daughter... WON last night! LOL

Girl ate FOUR tacos to his three. She was quite proud of herself! ;)

 

I thought she might be "taco'd out" after that but I asked if she wanted the perfect amount of remaining taco meat for school lunch today so she could make nachos. Without hesitation I received an emphatic "YES PLEASE!" in reply.

 

I love repurposing leftovers for lunch:

 

Lunch Made Easy: Happy Birthday Bento!

*Sigh* My baby girl.

She turns seven tomorrow. *sniff sniff*

That's right... Friday is Little Miss' BIRTHDAY!!!

She is so stinkin' excited too. Proclaiming to everyone, all day today, that it was her very last day being six.

Her very last day going to school, her very last dinner, and her very last sleep being six. lol

Like years past, I alway try to have a *little* fun with her school lunch on her birthday too. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Orange You Glad It's Thursday?!

Hehe, this is actually the third time I've done an "Orange You Glad It's Thursday?!" post (see previous two HERE and HERE).
