Build Your Own Taco Tuesday

These lunches were not from today. In fact, they aren’t even lunches at all. They were dinners and even though they are not from today  (Tuesday), they were from Tuesday last week. I thought the title was very fitting. ;) (and I didn’t even plan it that way)

If you’re memory serves you correctly you will remember that last week my tiny princesses had their 1 week summer dance intensive. After dance we had to run straight to cheer practice, meaning there was no time for dinner in-between. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to brush up on my packed lunch, er, dinner making skills!

Karsyn didn’t really need a packed dinner, but she really likes eating her meals this way so I was happy to oblige. ♥ She chose our GoGreen lunchbox and I’m pretty glad she did. We haven’t used this one in so long!

She had: Two white corn hard taco shells, strawberries, seasoned taco meat, shredded colby cheese, soft taco shell cutouts to aid in keeping the meat and cheese in it’s place, diced cherry tomatoes with fresh cilantro, Velveeta shells and cheese with Rotel tomatoes, and a cute little mini strawberry muffin. ♥ The diced tomatoes were an experiment for K. She didn’t love them, but she did have one tomato slice on each of her tacos. :D

Allison’s dinner was packed in our PlanetBox Launch. She had: Shells and cheese with rotel tomatoes, a mini strawberry muffin, shredded colby cheese, seasoned taco meat, three whole cherry tomatoes, one yellow corn hard taco shell, and one soft flour tortilla taco shell. I also included some Taco Bell mild sauce. A LOVES her some Taco Bell sauce! ♥

Some things (or similar) I used to make these meals…

Short sweet and to the point

Not much time to spare today, yet still a lot of lunches to share. ♥ I’m not going to be long winded today. (honest, I’m not!) All you get today is pictures. I’ll let the lunches do the talking. Have a question? Simple. Leave me a comment! :) I’d be happy to answer anyway I can.

First up…. today’s lunches. Packed in a Goodbyn Bynto and a GoGreen Lunchbox!

A couple lunches from last week…. Each tiny princess received the exact same items so no need to share each one. :) Packed in Planetbox Rover and Goodbyn Bynto.

Told you I could keep it quiet! That’s it I’m all done! Remember, if you have questions, just ask! ♥

A wrap of my latest lunches… nothing to write home about.

This one really will be short and to the point! I promise!

Tiny princess K’s lunch inner container lids off 11/16/12 Feeling a little fallish

Tiny princess A’s lunch with inner lids on

Here’s what they had…

• Brown Cow Maple yogurt with a bit of brown sugar sprinkled on top. Have I mentioned how my my princesses love this stuff! Seriously! It’s their favorite. In fact they have been refusing every other yogurt I offer them lately.
• A few watermelon pieces
• Granola bar halved
• Veggie straws
• Fairy bread sandwiches. A had plain butter today. K had her usual PB&J. I originally saw the idea for fairy bread on pinterest. Unfortunately I never pinned the pin. I did some searching and thought I don’t know if this is the original place I found the idea you can get the tutorial HERE.
• Packed in our ever faithful easylunchesboxes
• Not to forget our Lunchbox Love Notes!

• Maple yogurt yet again. No sprinkles this time so I covered it with the container lid. :op
• Veggie straws
• Half a cream cheese bagel
• Nerds
• some sort of 100% fruit juice in the drink container. Honest, I don’t give my girls random juices. We usually purchase variety packs of juice boxes so when I add them to the containers I never quite remember which kind made it in that day. :o)

Tiny princess A and K’s lunches exactly the same minus accessories. 11/20/12

Here’s what they had…

• Non healthy fruit snacks. I thought they looked kind of blah in here so I decided to cute-tify them with a little orange organza ribbon. <3
• Leftover tacos.
• String cheese cut
• Corn. Not sure how they will like this cold, but they both were willing to try it so who was I to deny it! ;)
• Goldfish S’mores mix. These are so cute and the princesses have never had them before. They were a special treat from Grandma cause she knows how crazy we all are about our s’mores! YUM!
