Muffin Tin's times two. (Try saying that 10 times fast.) A fun little weekend lunch for my little guys.
M & T's Lunch:
* jam/cream cheese tombstone sandwiches (T)
* turkey/cheese/mustard tombstone wraps (M)
* olive oil popcorn
* skull shaped watermelon
* Trader Joe's brownie oat bar
* strawberry slices

T was all over the place this afternoon in his lunch requests: some "cat" pasta and then when he saw M was getting a cheese stick he wanted that too. He also asked for a sandwich, and had a whole running list of fruit. Here's what we came up with:
cat pasta sprinkled with parmesan cheese
half a cheese stick "bee" (fruit leather stripes & dyed apple antenna)
apple slices
dried strawberries
Trader Joe's vegetable gummy bears
Last week for the under the sea bentos I bought ramen noodles for the "water". The grocery didn't have the noodles for sale in a single pack, so I had to buy a six pack. And today M found them hiding in the pantry and practically begged to eat them for lunch. Since it's the weekend I thought I would be a super nice mom and allow it (and just close my eyes and ignore how much sodium is in each serving). Note to self: find a new hiding place for the ramen noodles.
Tools Used:
(Last week when I dyed the ramen noodles I added the food coloring to the water while they were boiling and they came out with a really nice even color. This time because I knew I was going to need two different colors ("grass" and "sky") I cooked the noodles, drained them, and then added in the food coloring. The color didn't turn out as even this time, but M didn't seem to mind.)
blue & green dyed ramen noodles
cheese sticked halved, sliced and dyed brown for the trunk
fruit leather leaves
apple clouds
dyed provolone cheese & fruit leather face

M said they looked like frogs
T said snails
My super smart hubs walked in the kitchen and said "cool, aliens". I knew I married him for a reason.
I think if I would have added legs it would have been easier for M/T to tell what they are. But I didn't have enough room on the plate since I used a sandwich round (because they need to be eaten up) instead of punching out a smaller circle from sliced bread. Ah, hindsight and all of that.
M: turkey & cheese / T: cream cheese & strawberry jam
grapes on pretzel rods for the eyes (cheese & fruit leather for the details)
apple stars, grapes and Trader Joe's yogurt stars

At lunch time this afternoon the kids begged for a bento lunch. Seems they are enjoying them as much as I am! Here's today's lunch....
T's Lunch:
T is for Tyler & Tyrannosaurs Rex soy nut butter & strawberry jam sandwiches (cheddar cheese fire, blueberry eye, and fruit leather spikes), strawberries and blueberries, and half of a Clif Kids Z bar (the Halloween limited edition flavor - full moon brownie)
M's Lunch:
heart soy nut butter & strawberry jam sandwiches (colby cheese heart), strawberries and blueberries, and half of a Clif Kids Z bar

It's super rough as promised because all I'm working with right now are the existing big cookie cutters I already have. So, until my ordered tools come in I'm just going to make the best of it. Here is today's lunch. The kids thought they were great and ate every single thing on their plates (T even ate his cheese)!
M's Lunch:
butterfly turkey, swiss cheese & mustard sandwich (dried apricots for the antenna), dried snow peas and colby cheese star, and Trader Joe's yogurt stars & watermelon/apple fruity flakes
T's Lunch:
Pepperidge Farm bagel flats w/cream cheese (Trader Joe's fruity flakes for eyes, grape nose, dried apricot mouth), grapes and colby cheese star, and Trader Joe's yogurt starts and watermelon/apple fruity flakes
