Last night I was sitting at the kitchen table after dinner thinking about what to do for lunches today. Requirements were that it had to have a Halloween theme and involve noodles as that is what M asked for. I came up with the perfect idea and then realized that I didn't have all the ingredients needed. So, I'll just hold off on that idea until I can get to the grocery later today. J came up with idea of making a witch. And I just ran with it from there. Hope it makes M smile as much as it made me.
M's Lunch Today:
* quesadilla witch with dyed ramen noodles "hair"
(face is colored with food markers)
cheese for the face and moon & raisin wart
* pumpkin gummies
* cheese stick "fingers"
("nails" colored with food marker)
* "eyeballs" (banana slices & grapes)
* raisins with a skeleton cheese face

Pulled out the Hello Kitty cutters I got a few weeks ago. They did not turn out nearly as good as they looked in my head, but for a first attempt I'm not too disappointed. At least M could tell what they were this time!
M's Lunch Today:
* Hello Kitty quesadillas
(cheddar cheese & turkey pepperoni bow,
fruit leather eyes & nose, nori whiskers)
* grapes
* bagel chips & cream cheese
* tomatoes

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
This morning M/T and I we were talking all about Christopher Columbus - were he set sail from, where he landed, and what it means to be an explorer. I thought it would fun to have today's lunch extend that talk.
The Americas (and Bahamas)

Yesterday while at Home Goods I found this super cute black cat pasta. It's all natural wheat & spinach pasta cat shapes. Here is their website- they have lots of different fun shapes. I decided to make T's bento lunch using the black cat as inspiration. Here's what he ate today:
and sprinkled with parmesan cheese
for the eyes & teeth, nori for the center of the eye & whiskers
sliced kiwi & watermelon shaped moons and "boo"
purple & green grape kabobs
after punching out my main shapes I always have a
lots of little stars and only a few scrapes left over
cheddar cheese quesadilla cats, pasta, watermelon
& kiwi, pretzels & cheese dip, and grapes
provolone cheese eyes & teeth, blueberries for the
center of the eye and nori for the whiskers
black cat pasta sauteed with a bit of olive oil
cheddar cheese quesadilla with provolone cheese
what was left over -
the cheese teeth and some of the tiny quesadilla stars
bit left over,so I use a tiny cutter to make cute shapes
so I'll have as little waste as possible
I can't believe that my child, the pickiest eater alive, actually ate nori! HE ATE SEAWEED! He tried one of the whiskers and declared "Oh wow, I love those yummy whiskers!" Pat on the back for me.
