Tuesday, 4/24/12 - A while ago I had bought a pack of turkey hot dogs, and they had been sitting around getting old. Since we also had a packet of buns sitting around since Easter, I decided to make a fun hot dog for her lunch.
I didn't have a lot of time, so I figured I'd make some star-shaped stuff, to be like starfish for a "Sea" theme to go with the octo-dogs. That and I couldn't find my mini ocean cutter set. I used a mini star cutter from the space set instead. And then I ended up liking the coins with the stars cut out. Plus the stars were soooo itty-bitty. It would have taken me all day to cut enough for to give her some nutriments. I tossed in some broccoli and a bit of rainbow chard left over from some braising mix that came with my CSA box.
I kind of flubbed the legs on the dogs, but they each have 8. Some freakishly skinny, or short. Or with extra cuts in them. Whee. At the last-minute I decided to use my faces cutter set to imprint a face. Turned out great. Would have been better if I had done it before cooking though!
This lunch was free from artificial dyes, and also peanut- and tree nut-free!
She ate almost everything! Including the lettuce holding the ketchup! She skipped the broccoli and chard, and some of the carrot coins.
My lunch has nuts in it (via the Nutella,) but is vegetarian. Yo!
Since the dolphin Lunch Punch makes 2 identical dolphins, I just used it on one slice of bread to make a half-sandwich.
She was super excited to get "cookie spread" for her apples. She ate pretty much everything.
Other than the candy eye, this lunch is artificial dye-free (these Goldfish Crackers use natural food-based dyes.) Also peanut- and tree nut-free.

It was her first day of T-ball practice, which started at dinner time. So I threw together another bento in one of our EasyLunchboxes to eat on the way there and back. |
