There was no packed lunches yesterday, and I’m sure if you have been following along you may have a good idea why….. Chicken sandwich day of course! My girls love chicken sandwich day at school and until I can sway them in the packed lunch direction it looks like Wednesdays will be my lunch making day off. :)
Today it was back to work and I was super excited to pack in some new fun boxes I found over the weekend. Oddly enough I found them in the baby section at our nearest Target. I’m not even sure what caused me to walk that way, but I’m kind of glad I did. ♥
It’s called the Munchkin Bento Meal Time Set. It’s marketed for the baby/toddler crowd, but after packing our second day of school lunches inside, I found that it holds plenty of food for each of my tiny princesses!
K chose the pink one ♥
She had: Strawberries with a cute biting hippopotamus food pick, carrot sticks, salami-cucumber-cream cheese rollups with apple pick, a few dry roasted peanuts in the small green silicone cup nestled on top of a bed of alphabet pretzels, vanilla yogurt with star sprinkles, ranch in the blue sauce cup hidden underneath two rolls of Smarties candies. One for K and one of a friend. ♥♥
A chose the blue Munchkin box
She had: Salami cream cheese roll ups with apple food pick, vanilla yogurt with star sprinkles, dill dip in the yellow sauce cup, 2 packs of smarties (one for her and one for a friend), alphabet pretzels, diced plums with biting alligator pick, cucumber and yellow pepper stars cut using a small star shaped cookie cutter I also added a bit of pepper to them cause my tiny princesses love pepper (so not to be wasteful I placed the veggie scraps underneath the cute star shapes).
I also took a picture of tiny princess K’s lunch with all the inner container lids on.
I love that the fruit and veggie compartments can be removed and each compartment has it’s own individual lid. Even the main compartment. I also love that there is a special place for utensils in the main lid. Obviously I have only used this box once so far so I can’t really fully recommend it yet, but so so far I think it was $7.99 well spent for each container. ♥♥ I will keep you posted.
Some things (or similar) that I used to make these meals…
The containers look neat and the lunches are are fabulous as usual!
ReplyDeleteVery cool new container! and great lunches of course :D
ReplyDeleteCute containers! Curious what you used for the yogurt? Can't seem to find the perfect yogurt container yet. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, Thea! The yogurt containers used in this lunch were purchased at a local dollar store. I can't quite remember if it was dollar general or family dollar. :/ another REALLY great leak proof container perfect for yogurt are EasyLunchbox mini dippers. You can purchase them online through Amazon, All Things For Sale, or right through the EasyLunchbox website. :)
DeleteThanks! Well have to get some mini dippers I think. Bought these boxes last week and have used almost everyday since. Put yogurt in the little containers w/ no leakage and my twins in kinder had no problem opening after practicing at home a few minutes. Thanks for telling us @these! I've now told all my friends. Need to get one more for my lunch!
DeleteThese look amazing and are so cute! Great lunches!
