Wishing you lots of love and good fortune!

 

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

 

I must keep this short and sweet today! There are elementary Valentine parties to be had! Today both tiny princess are the same with the exception of the fruit choice. A got an apple. K got an orange.

Tiny princess A’s lunch packed in our new LunchBots Uno…

Tiny Princess K’s lunch packed in our new LunchBots Duo…

 

Here is what they had…

• Veggie Chips
• Trix Yogurt with heart and lip sprinkles
• Apple for A. Clementine for K. The Apples we picked up at the grocery store over the weekend just happened to both red and green. I used this to my advantage and cut the apple in half and then cutting out a heart shape from each half. I ate one half and then added the heart of the opposite color into the cutout hole onto the apple I included in A’s lunch. I also cut a heart from the peel of K’s orange and colored it with my red food safe marker to add a contrasting color effect.
• Leftover Lo Mein noodles with a few carrot hearts and sweet yellow pepper garnish
• Fruit Roll Up Fortune Cookie
• And of course some Lunchbox Love! I was super excited when I received my Lunchbox Love cards in the mail and realized there were a few blank cards… perfect for creating a special personalized message. ♥

How stinkin’ cute are the fruit roll fortune cookies?

♥ Here is how you can make your own ♥

I must say, mine didn’t turn out nearly as cute as the ones from She Knows. I figured out my problem, though. I just didn’t pinch them into the fortune cookie shape quite enough. I will have to do these again in the future to see if I can perfect the technique.

 

Some things I used to make these lunches…

Eat Your Heart Out!! & a shake test!

I’m not sure why, but for some reason I forgot all about purchasing any fun Valentine supplies to make our Valentine lunches fun! Luckily I do have some basic heart cookie cutters and my sweet husband picked up some cute ♥ day sprinkles to spruce up a few lunches!

By now, we all know that Wednesday is chicken sandwich day at school. I knew that full well when creating, what I thought would be today’s lunches. I thought, maybe, just maybe, I could totally WOW my tiny princesses with fun lunches and new boxes to make them say NO to hot lunch at school. I was wrong. Even my lunch box charm couldn’t pursued them in “bring your own lunch” direction. Oh well, they decided on eating them for dinner last night instead!

Tiny princess A’s meal was packed in our brand new LunchBots trio! This is of course my first lunch in a LunchBots, but I think I’m really going to love packing in these!

Here is what she had…

• chunked colby jack cheese
• hot dog on a heat pick (Now, we aren’t normally much of a hot dog family. Not for any reason other than that I think they taste yucky! :p I think that as parents we tend to try to force our like and dislike on our kids. Am I right? My girls really like hot dogs so when I saw this idea of slicing the hot dog ends just right to form a heart, it reminded me that just because I don’t like something, doesn’t mean my princesses cant! ♥)
• grape tomatoes on triple heart pick
• all natural trix yogurt with sprinkles
• a few sweet pepper rings in the yellow silicone cup
• the red heart cup hold s’mores mix (hold the chocolate because we didn’t have any)
• filling in the spaces of the top left compartment is a few clementine orange slices and a yellow sauce cup that hold BBQ sauce for hot dog dipping

Tiny princess K’s meal was packed in our pink Yubo lunch box and is the reasoning behind today’s blog post title.

Here is what she had…

• nutella fairy bread sandwich with letter picks spelling “Eat Your Heart Out” Make your own fairy bread by cutting a shape out of your top piece of bread and adding sprinkles to the middle. So fun and so yummy!
• heart shaped colby cheese in pink silicone cup cut using FunBites Luv It
• watermelon hearts in Goodbyn sauce cup
• sweet pepper rings in flower silicone cup
• all natural trix yogurt
• orange cutie I cut a slice in the top of the orange to aid in peeling and to add the fun cupcake ring
• I also included some LunchBox Love ♥

I decided since this lunch was a little more complex it would be the perfect opportunity for a Yubo shake test. Following the same pattern as before, we shook K’s pink Yubo, inside, outside, and upside down. Again, we even played a fun game of catch with it! :)

When we opened up the top lid and all inside lids here is what we found…

Tiny princess K and I were quite pleased with the results of this shake test. As you can see, a few of the inside containers shifted a bit, as well as the cheese in the pink silicone cup. The yogurt also got all discombobulated and the sprinkles dissolved quite a bit. This problem could totally be eliminated by using this idea from Molly’s Lunch Box, of including sprinkles in a small a lidded container or sauce cup so that your kiddos can add the sprinkles in themselves. The sandwich seems to have stayed intact really well and not even one of the sprinkles fell off at all!

♥♥♥ Tiny princess K gives the Yubo shake test 5/5 crowns! ♥♥♥

She is such a goof ball!

 

Now I want to hear from you….. Which lunch box would you like to see the shake test done in next? Leave a comment to let me know!

 

Some things I used to make these meals

Leftover love!

I tried to come up with a clever title for this post, but my mind isn’t really in a thinking mood today. I decided to go with the obvious. ;)

We had Pizza for dinner last night, so naturally today’s lunch includes some leftovers! YUM! Who doesn’t like cold pizza? Oh, wait a minute…. that’s right, I don’t. It’s okay, though. My tiny princesses, do so that’s all that matters. ♥

Here is today’s lunch packed in our Goodbyn sandwich containers…. This really is a great container for trying to fit a decent sized lunch in a pretty small space.

Here is what they had…

• pizza leftovers.  For tiny princess K I use my FunBites Luv It cutter to cut up the pizza and added a fun heart pick through the two tiny hearts that the cutter makes.  I used a small-ish heart cookie cutter to cut out the heart you see on top of tiny princess A’s pizza chunks. I also included a heart pick which I think looks a lot like cupid arrow! ♥
• a few Mott’s Medleys fruit snacks (I divided one package up between the two girls)
• heat shaped carrots with ranch for dipping in the cute little sauce cups
• applesauce with heart sprinkles
• peanut butter crackers (I tried making the top cracker a heart with a cookie cutter, but it didn’t turn out that great)
• the “Be Mine”  & “Text Me” rings are stuck into one regular sized marshmallow

I also included some Lunchbox Love from sayplease.com…. I think this one pretty much sums it up! Words to live by indeed. ♥

K’s Lunchbox Love card is just perfect for her ♥

Valentine’s day is coming. You still have time to make fabulous heart filled lunch for someone special in your life!
