Unicorn Noodles For Spring Rolls

Look at this gorgeous color on these noodles. Blue and purple. I used an old standby that is used in Southeast Asian cuisine to color rice, desserts, and drinks. The Butterfly Pea flower is a beautifully vibrant flower that dyes two distinct colors. The blue you see on the far left is the regular flower.

Hello, my name is Katherine and I save packaging. I've gotten much better at it. But what I do save ends up being used for these darn field trips that require a disposable lunch! Good thing I had a couple saved containers.

These lunches are almost all orange, that wasn't planned. it was just what I had to pack.

2015 Bento Lunches 76- 87 #Takeittuesday

Welcome once again to another Take It Tuesday! How is lunch packing going for you all? It's going well here. I find that things are much easier if I plan lunches around leftovers, and on days there won't be leftovers I plan something quick and easy. What about you all? Do you meal plan? Just dinner? All meals? I usually plan dinners and lunches.

Here are some lunches we've packed (all of these lunches are from the last school year) -

A lunch post! 2015-1, 2, and 3

Yes, I know. It's already April and I'm just posting the first lunch post of the year. Sadly these aren't the first lunches I've made. They are just the first to make them onto Give Peas a Chance! So much has happened and we've just been busy like everyone else. We finally moved and are surrounded by boxes, and I'm posting from my phone. That's a whole other post though. I apologize for the long absence I want to jump right back in sms start blogging again but we'll see how things fall into place. 

How's everyone been? Keeping up with blogging? Any big changes, leave a comment I'd love to hear from you. You can also still find me on Facebook and Instagram via the buttons to the right of this blog. 

So, lunches... Simple and quick for this Monday morning.

 

Lunches #212-227 Take It Tuesday

Happy Take It Tuesday everyone! Here are some lunches for you. This whole batch seems to be a huge blur. I apologize, but you get the idea. I hope that you are having a fantastic school year, for those that are in school or have family members in school. The weather here has been gorgeous! Fall is here for sure, we've already raked leaves TWICE :o ! What about you? Have you had to rake leaves? Or do you live in a place where you don't have to deal with the leaves? I don't mind the first few times. After that it gets a little bit annoying. Still Fall has to be my favorite season. Have a blessed week!

Here are some lunches for you-

2014 Lunches 33-51

Oh my, I'm so back logged on lunches and all posts in general. I just am. I was already behind after the New Year, then I was away on a family emergency for a week last month. It has been so hard for me to get back into the swing of things. I do find I get into these ruts, but I don't know. This rut seems to be longer than most. The whole Facebook changes debacle doesn't make it any better either. I do miss interacting with you all on Facebook, but with all the changes less and less people see posts on there. I am not very active on google + either. Where do you all find you interact most with bloggers and readers of your blog? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Also did you know that I have a giveaway up right now? Please check it out, enter, and share. I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much. Here's the link.
