A Week's Summary

So a daily post is starting to seem wayyyy too much for me - probably for everyone. I decided to do a weekly post of the lunches I have created for the week rather than a day to day post. People already think I do absolutely nothing with my time, or I have way too much time in my hand -- but honestly I try to just manage the time I have well so that it's spread just enough to get me by for the day.

This week I only had to prepare 4 lunches due to Wednesday being a Jewish holiday. It was a good little break for me so I was not complaining at all :)

So on Monday, I made a plain turkey, cheese, and lettuce sandwich with cheese crackers from Horizon Organics and tomatoes from our garden. These crackers taste really good, very similar to goldfish crackers, just not as salty.

Tuesday I wanted to give my girls a flower for being such awesome kids. One sandwich was Nutella, the other was peanut butter. Again with the sides of tomatoes and cheese crackers.

Thursday I was feeling the weather changes. Fall is probably my favorite season. I love the colors of the leaves as they change. I love the fresh cool breeze in the morning and evening. I love the sound of the tress and leaves as they are easily swayed by the breeze. I love how my electric bill is so much cheaper during this season. Most of all, I love Halloween. So this lunch was due to my excitement for October! It was a Nutella/PB sandwich with carrots, tomatoes, and yogurt.

Today's lunch was inspired by 'movie night' tonight for my family. The girls love the movie Big Hero 6. so I decided to try and create Baymax. Very simple to make. It's a rice ball, and I just cut seaweed wrapper up to make the circles and line. Next to the rice ball is ham inside a silicone holder the shape of a pig. When I bought it at first, I thought the silicone was more like a cutter. :( It wasn't though. But I made great use for it. This lunch was also prepped with our tomatoes and banana. My girls love tomatoes and honestly will chose to eat them over junk food. So why not ?! There are numerous benefits for eating tomatoes.

Well, that about sums up our lunches for the week. Hope everyone has a safe and blessed weekend.
