Space: The Lunch Frontier

Hope everyone had a great weekend! It is Monday....a whole new week of fresh ideas for Alexa's lunches. She is really into outer space so today we have a bed of rice, a space border of hot dog, a fruit roll up rocket ship and alien space ship. We have some fig newton planets, moon, and stars in one corner of the galaxy and the other side is your very friendly green Ed Edamame martian equipped with green antennas of course!!! Alexa was disappointed I did not have any shooting stars so may have to work that in this week with another space theme!!! Have a great Monday...I know it's hard but it is all what you make of it!!

She's a lady...

Well my friends...I have to go to my real job super early in the morning so I cheated and made the Bento Box tonight. Inspiration this time came from a future cake I am making. Ladybugs!!! I also went to a fabulous sample sale today for children's clothes and this time I took Miss A with me. She is a lady all the way...all she wanted were dresses! This makes my 8th sample sale for Miss A and this time I also went for the baby boy in the oven. It was twice as nice! Also Miss A....the forever lady and diva that she is was able to pick out her own clothes this time. All I can say is thank goodness the full hot pink sequin leggings did not fit her! This lunch was super fast and easy and I made it while cooking dinner and feeding the doggies! Ladybug sample sandwiches; one is a pepperoni and cheese the other is chicken and cheese. Head of ladybug is pepperoni with cheese wings and eyes. Then some sliced strawberries with some green ladybug picks, corn and her favorite candy....candy corn!!!! Have a great Friday everyone!!!

Old School!!!

Miss A came back home from Camp Ma and Pa's last night so we celebrated and went to Gatti Town. Nothing like an over indulgence of pizza and video games!!! Of course there is nothing like the old school video games like Pac Man, Asteroids, and Defender. So we pulled up Ms Pac Man Online (thought she would appreciate the girl vs normal boy Pac Man) and showed her the games we used to play! So we have a Ms Pac Man Bento Lunch, square turkey and cheese sandwiches, a yellow cheese Ms Pac Man, and a white cheese ghost. Fruit roll up for the bow and the little things the Pan Man eat. (What are those called?) Anyway, some tomatoes, cheese itz, and a few yogurt pretzels at top to fit everything all nice and snug!!!

Drum Roll Please....

It was a great weekend! Hungry Henry, my fabulous hubby, celebrated his birthday so of course I made a cake! He played drums junior high through college so a Drum Set cake was pretty fitting and long over due! The drums were made a week before out of fondant. I probably should have used rice krispies and wrapped in fondant because the big drum was a little heavy, but how else would I learn! The cake was vanilla with a vanilla buttercream icing. I don't like to put fondant on the whole cake, only as decoration. So I smooth out my buttercream with a Viva paper towel to get it nice and smooth!! Viva las buttercream!!! haha. The music notes, the H on the drum and drum silhouette on front of cake was cut out using my Cricut Cake machine and the cartridge Quarter Note! Soooo fun! Alexa stayed with her Ma and Pa for a few days so no Bento Box lunches for 3 days....my next bake order is not until first weekend in March so I am going to have to find something else to keep me busy!!! Could be trouble...haha

The Letter Q...

Today was show and tell for the letter Q for Miss A. So with some help from some fabo friends on facebook we got some ideas and decided to do a house made out of Q-tips and a Queen Bee! I showed Alexa how to stack the q-tips and she cut out a blue door, drew a flower, sun and a bee with a crown to go with the house! Of course we realized we were out of craft glue so I had to use my hot glue gun. My horrible luck, poor Alexa touched the glue and it burned her thumb, poor baby. She almost didn't want to take the house this morning, just a quarter. BUT....this morning I told her we could do a matching queen bee lunch and she had a change of heart and decided to take her Qtip art house and queen bee masterpiece! Yeah!!! For her lunch we did a Queen Bee Quesadilla!! Another Q....Quesadilla! Green beans with flower fruit roll ups, fig newtons, pretzels, and some tomatoes. TGIF!!!! This weekend is Hungry Henry's bday!! Aka, my hubby and Alexa's daddy. So we are planning a special cake...stay tuned!

Googly Eyes!

Aaaahhhh yes once again Miss A gives me the giggles and inspiration for lunch. Some googly eyes and a big goofy nose!! Of course I did get in a little trouble that I did not put a mustache. I may have to add that before we leave, don't think she will let it go out the door without it!!! haha. So we were out of bread but we did have a bagel! HEY...they are still healthy and still bread! So a bagel sandwich, summer sausage, cheese, and olive eyes all held together by a green pick. A tomato nose with a strawberry & grape border and some corn. I have just been informed by Miss A a grape mustache will work beautifully...oy vey. I have created a monster!!!

Have a good day!!!

Baa Baa....Lamb?

So Alexa has this little Lamb puppet that she loves to sleep with. We lost it for awhile and recently found it..so guess what was my inspiration???? haha. Leftover noodles from last night with just some butter and cheese this morning. A sheep/lamb of hot dog and cheese. Some green bean tulips and tomatoes....which really are a fruit right? Think she will fall for that? She does looooove tomatoes! Also added a sheep dog pick so she can use to eat with! hee hee....

It's hump day!! WOO HOO!!!
