Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday - Simple Snowman

{Only 8 More Sleeps til' Christmas!}

Keeping school lunch simple for MOMables Monday this week with help from our MOMables menu plan and a few cookie cutters.

Lunch Made Easy: Frosty the {Gluten Free} Bagel!

♪♫ Frosty the {gluten free} bagel, was a jolly happy soul! ♪♫

 

One of Little Miss' favorite Advent Christmas Countdown Lunches last year was "Frosty the Bagel".

 

This year, I made a simplified version (mostly because Mama got home late last night and was tiiirrrrred) and of course it's also {gluten free}.  

Lunch Made Easy: Simple Snowflake Salad {Advent School Lunches Christmas Countdown}

♫ After all there's only {13} more sleeps til' Christmas! ♪

 

In my head, I sing that along to the song from Muppet Christmas Carol ~ You know which one I'm talking about? Love that movie. ♥ I just change the words from "one more sleep" to how many our left on our Advent School Lunches Christmas Countdown.

 

Keeping it simple today with this Snowflake Salad bento for my Little Miss: 

 

Lunch Made Easy: @MOMables Monday - Simple Christmas School Lunchbox

I love our MOMables Monday posts. It means Sunday night I can just look through our MOMables menus and Little Miss can pick what her heart desires for the day. This Mama gets a night off from having to think of something "fast & fresh" to put in her lunch box. Done!

Little Miss chose the MOMables BLT Sandwich for her school lunch on Monday. We made ours using our gluten & nut free bread, of course.

Lunch Made Easy: {Advent Christmas Countdown} Up on the House Top!

♪ ♫ Up on the house top reindeer pause

Out jumps good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joys

Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't go? Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with Old Saint Nick! ♫♬

 Today, I decided to remake one of Little Miss' absolute favorite Advent Lunches from last year ~ Up on the House Top!

Lunch Made Easy: Michigan ~ Smitten with the Mitten!

For those of you that don't know the phenomenon that is "America's High Five", this great state of Michigan is shaped like a mitten. Go ahead, look, it's true! There are companies, books, and even campaigns across the state playing up the silly shape.

 

One of the first things I was taught when I moved here was that Michiganders use their hands as maps. At first I thought it was strange, but it's actually quite helpful (lol). Hold up your hand and point to what city you're from, or talking about in a conversation, and it allllllllllll makes sense.

 

So, of course, now Little Miss has been taught about the "hand map" and even knows all about the "Michigan Mitten". Naturally, we had to make a school lunch about it! 

 

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday - Christmas Pizza Bagel Wreath

Today is our first school lunch for the month of December ~ That means it's time to start our Advent Lunches, Christmas Countdown for 2012!! WOO!! Get excited people! lol

Only 22 days left until Christmas!

For MOMables Monday, I decided to have some fun with the Kids Pizza Bagel menu item and turn it into a festive wreath for the holidays:

Lunch Made Easy: Advent School Lunches ~ A Christmas Countdown

For those that have followed KMG Blog for some time now, you may remember the fun tradition we started last December for Little Miss' lunch: Advent School Lunches ~ A Christmas Countdown.

 

This year, I plan on doing the same. She love last year having a countdown each day telling her how many days were left until Christmas.

 

I decided today would be a good day to revisit some of my favorites and share them with you for inspiration this holiday season!

 

Lunch Made Easy: Birds of a Feather

Not gonna lie... when I started making Little Miss's sandwich, I had intended it to be a penguin buuuuuuut it looks more like a bird. So... BIRD IT IS! :)

Tuesday marks 12 days left on the Advent Lunches Christmas Countdown too. Doing the countdown has seriously been the best thing with Little Miss - even though I've made her lunch the night before - she'll wake up and tell ME how many days are left. I love it!
