I'm sooo behind on posts! EEK.
The girls have been getting lunches, but they've bought twice. I wish they would buy more! But I have joined them for lunch and I don't blame them at all. I should take pictures of their lunches from school :(

Chicken Cesar salad

Kiwi

2012 Bento 141, 142

Ask me how far behind I am on posting lunches? So behind. I did let the girls buy lunch once last week, so I have one day I am not behind on :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving- even if you're not in the states I hope you get some time with loved ones this week.

Fajita chicken

Carrots

 Apples

Raisins- AGGGHH! Piglet informed me she doesn't like them. Me neither kid.

 Easy, fast, not so colorful lunches. I need to start planning better!
Tortilla

String cheese

see, I told you I need to start planning.  The good thing is the girls loved all the elements in the lunch and ate it all.

2012 Bento 136, 137

I think I mention this every third lunch post, but I'm so thankful when we have leftovers to pack. We had steak and chicken fajitas so I decided to pack a salad for the girls. Luckily they love salad.

I feel bad, these lunches are all out of sync. But yes, I have been packing the same items lately. I am trying to clear out the freezer!

 Tootsie Rolls- which Piglet told me she doesn't like. But Diva won a jar of them at the carnival.

2012 Bento 125, 126, 127

I love packing leftovers. Especially if it's steak. YUM. I know everyone will love it. Pixie and I shared the little box below with other veggies at home.
So simple, nothing fancy, but I know they'll eat it.

Steak

Cucumber and Bell Peppers

Kiwi

Crackers (for the girls in school)

2012 Bento 123,124 (Lunch Packs)

These aren't waste free lunches. But most of the time I use boxes and containers that are reusable so I don't feel too bad about these lunches ;).

I thought they would be fun, and let's be real, I forgot to start the dishwasher the night before. I didn't have containers, most of our items are packed away. These foil lunch packs would be great for a field trip though.

So, basically the idea behind these is that the girls unroll the packs and eat as they go. So treats get wrapped and rolled first, and end with the "main dish" items. I also put a piece of wax paper on top of the foil so it would unroll easier for the girls.

Chicken Meatballs

Vegetables

String Cheese

Tootsie Rolls

Pink Lemonade- the girls usually get water, but I had these leftover from making Lip Balm.

2012 Bento 121, 122

#100 Bento Gear- GIVEAWAY

Click to make it HUE-MUN-GOUS.

OK! So let's celebrate the 100th bento/lunch- because let's face it, my lunches aren't true Bentos, AND I posted my 100th review/giveaway last week also! This giveaway has a lunch focus. I have other ones planned that will have a craft theme, a cooking theme, and others. But let's see how this one goes first shall we?
First of all I want to thank you all for stopping by this little blog. I started blogging in 2007. Just to have a place to put recipes. A place to organize them and put them into a book for my girls when they leave for college. It's been a fun journey. I'm not a writer, I'm actually a HORRIBLE speller, and grammar is not my forte. I'm not even a great blogger, but blogging for me is fun, it's a hobby, it's also a stress reliever.
I hope you all like the items I have up for you. All are new, never used - obviously. I've just got a ton of items, that's what happens when you have fabulous friends in Japan and when you hoard, collect every item you see in the store.

2012 Bento 103, 104, 105

Pixie's snack is the top left hand box.

Mini bagels- I wrote on them with food writer markers

Chicken

Strawberries
