{Enjoy Life Foods Friday} Baked Chewy Bars Lunch Box Fun #GlutenFree #AllergyFriendly

I was deliciously looking forward to this month and our Enjoy Life Foods challenge. 
If you're been following along, we've partnered with Enjoy Life Foods and once a month we feature one of their yummy products lines. Little Miss and I do our best to come up with creative ways to use them in new and inventive recipes that are great for lunches and snacks. 
This month we're featuring their Baked Chewy Bars. Not only are they top allergy 8 free but gluten free, as well. 
We've been a long time fan of Enjoy Life's bars - Little Miss especially loves the Cocoa Loco variety - and have packed them in their "original bar state" over the years for both lunches and snacks. Now the task was to set a new bar ;) and find fun ways to use them differently!

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: Tuesday Treats

Little Miss was so cute this evening helping me pick out the goodies she wanted in her lunch for Tuesday ~ I love when I have time to pack them before she goes to bed and can be involved in what's inside her EasyLunchBoxes container.
Besides a sometimes quick Q&A session, lol.

Lunch Made Easy: “If you are lucky enough to be Irish, then you are lucky enough"

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Well, almost... Friday IS technically St. PRACTICE Day! ;) hehe

In case you missed it, Tuesday we did a St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop! Be sure to check it out and follow the links at the bottom of my post for some fantastic ideas!!

Lunch Made Easy: 100th Day of School

Hola mis amigos! I have returned from vacation!
Tanned and relaxed. Today was a whirlwind because we didn't get home until 3:30am so after catching up on some sleep, it mostly involved laundry, last bits of homework for Little Miss, and a trip to the grocery store.
Little Miss did FANTASTIC on her first plane ride. We gave her benadryl before each flight as a precaution against any allergy flare ups (plus wiping down and sterlizing her seat area as best I could). We spent six days in Nuevo Vallarta at an all inclusive resort with trips into Puerto & Viejo Vallarta. A great experience as I've never been to Mexico before - life long memories for Little Miss. Plus we got to see two of our friends get married on the beach. It was beautiful! So glad we went.
Back to reality though. Little Miss returns to school tomorrow (Friday). It's their 100th Day of School PLUS pajama day... great one to come back to, right!? :) Lucky girl!

Lunch Made Easy: Colorful Hearts

Last lunch of the week for us :) Make sure you check back over the next week, I'm going to have some great autoposts setup featuring some of my favorite bento bloggers and their work!!

Lunch Made Easy: Tortilla Tuesday

I looked at Little Miss's empty Easylunchbox container and had little inspiration tonight. I must have a case of the Monday nights. ;) Tired and ready to crash!!

Lunch Made Easy: Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Friday's lunch marks 23 days left! And another 'advent lunch' bites the dust! :)

Lunch Made Easy: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I had the idea to make Little Miss's lunches an advent, of sorts. :) Every day I intend to somewhere include a number somehwere in her lunch with how many days are left until Christmas. As of Monday, there will be 27 days left. She was VERY excited when I told her I'd be doing this!

Lunch Made Easy: Little Miss Love

A sappy love bento for my Little Miss!

Lunch Made Easy: Panda Love *rice onigiri*

Little Miss is off school tomorrow (Friday) so I thought this might be a good time to tackle the next Bento of the Week challenge - Onigiri.

I have never done anything with rice like this before, so I was a bit nervous... I figured since Little Miss was going to be home with me while enjoying this, what they hey... good time to go for it! That way, if it was a hot mess, at least I was home to make her something else (LOL).

Well, when it was all said and done, I was pretty darn impressed with how it turned out!

Lunch Made Easy: First of November

No catchy title today, sorry! ;)
It was kind of nice making Little Miss's lunch... I've been making Halloweeny ones for the past two weeks so it was nice to get back to basics for a day.

Lunch Made Easy: Kinda Corny

After today, two more lunches until Halloween (that's also the theme for next weeks Bento of the Week on the Bento Blog Network).

Lunch Made Easy: Moose & Zee!

This weeks theme on the Bento Blog Network is Nick Jr.
I seriously try to not let Little Miss watch too much TV and if she does I *hope* it's educational programming... so for this challenge I thought it'd be fun to capture two of her favorite little characters "Moose & Zee"!

Lunch Made Easy: I love you BEARY much!

Wednesday's lunch:

Lunch Made Easy: We are all made of Stars

Since I made Little Miss her lunch today, I've had the Moby song "We are all made of stars" stuck in my head, lol (thus the title). I realized I hadn't used my star sandwich cutter in a while so why not today then!

Lunch Made Easy: Party Hangover

Little Miss had her birthday party this weekend. It was so much fun and turned out great, but after all the hard work and then clean up... we are dragging this morning. lol, one more day would be great at home to relax! Anyways, her lunch today is pretty basic:

Lunch Made Easy: Well, Hello, Kitty ;)

A few days ago I finally found and purchased a set of two cute Hello Kitty cutters. Found them at Hobby Lobby (I spend way to much $ each time I walk into that store... is there a Hobby Lobbyholics group?)
Anyways, here is Little Miss's Hello Kitty lunch for this fabulous Thursday! She even wore one of her Hello Kitty shirts & socks to school to go with the theme, lol.

Lunch Made Easy: Monday's Basic Bento

I don't know about you but I stayed up waaaaay to late watching the Falcons/Eagles NFL game last night! lol
Very little sleep means very little creativity. ;)

Lunch Made Easy: Monday Monday...

This mama is sick and uninspired this morning. Battling ear aches and a sore throat. My voice is shot. Somehow I got up, made lunches, dinner in the crockpot, and I'm going to stumble to work. We'll see how today goes. (Okay, sorry, enough of the pity party!)
