A Goodbyn Bynto is hard to resist!

Last Saturday while walking through Target, we spotted some Goodbyn Byntos!

Sure, we already have two, but the blue was so sweet. We don’t have a blue one. Now we do. ♥ Goodbyn Byntos are hard to resist….. plus I was a little bit excited about already “knowing” all about the product. It’s exciting to be on the the up and up of all the latest and greatest!

By Sunday my tiny princesses were already begging for some Goodbyn Bynto lunches. I must admit…. I was excited to pack them, too!

We flipped a coin and tiny princess A got to use the new blue Bynto first. She had: Carrot coins, and a few tomatoes, ranch for dipping in the green sauce cup, all natural vanilla yogurt in the green Goodbyn sauce container, left over Mongolian BBQ from the night before with a cute panda pick to help her eat it, baby grapes and two raspberries, (we are still working on the fruit thing) two bite sized panda cookies, and a few honey wheat pretzel twists. ♥

 

Tiny princess K chose the green Bynto. She thought it looked nice wit the blue. I agree. Her lunch consisted of the same items, except she had a panda shaped PB&J cut using our CuteZCute sandwich cutter. She also had a cutie orange instead of grapes and raspberries. Bananas are really the only fruit K will eat. Sometimes applesauce, but I’m not sure if that counts. I recently gave her a cutie orange to try and though she could not bear to swallow it down, (due to the texture) she did however find that she really liked the taste. Now, when she asks me to pack her an orange, she will put a whole segment in her mouth and sucks and chews all the juice from it. :) So, while it’s not my ideal way for her to consume the fruit, it’s a lot better than her not eating it at all. ♥

Some things I used to make these lunches…

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!

Tiny princess A’s lunch 11/19/12

• 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)
• Packed in our fun Green Goodbyn Bynto
• Also includes some lunchbox love

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

Here’s what they had…

• 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!
• Veggie straws
• and our old favorite…. maple yogurt. With SPRINKLES!!! YAY! Confession… I ran out of fall leaf sprinkles so I stole some pumpkins from my Halloween stash! ;)
• Packed in our Planetbox lunch systems!
• Also included is some Thanksgiving lunchbox love!!!

Some things I used to make these lunches….

What is it Wed., lost puppies, lots of tears, lots of lunches, and happy endings!

Lots to post today so I’m going to try to keep it simple and short! (yeah, right! When have I ever kept anything short?)
So, did you all see the “What is it Wednesday?” picture on the TPLB fb page? If not, or if you need a refresher, here is the picture….

What do you think it is? Keep reading to find out.( Answer is at the bottom of the post.)

Now onto some lunches….

These may not be in the exact order they were received as a couple of them contain my what is it Wednesday item. I don’t want to give it away too quick!

Tiny princess K’s lunch with inner container lids off. 11/2/12

Here’s what she had…

• Ritz crackers in a silicone flower cup
• 2 sandwich cookies in a square silicone cup. Yes, these cookies are very unhealthy, though they are true weakness for everyone of my family members and every now and then Grandma sends them home with the girls. :) Who am I do deny a treat from Grandma?
• Star Colby cheese slices in silicone heart cup
• Fruit snacks of the unhealthy variety
• Organic Vanilla yogurt with crown and glass slipper sprinkles
• Veggie straws in dollar store container
• Packed in Yubo lunchboxes

• Pretzels with cream chesse
• Chicken sandwich stack. Hold the cheese for A.
• M&M’s
• Brown Cow Maple Yogurt
• Fortune cookie
• Gerber Graduates Veggie puffs
• Packed in Easylunchboxes

Here is my husband’s lunch from today. Which explains my lost dog and happy ending title. Long story short our sweet pooch AKA #thebestdogever came up missing Sunday night. We were all devastated. He is home now safe and sound so all is right with the world. The tiny princesses of course had chicken sandwich day at school, but I just couldn’t resist this pup themed lunch for my guy!

Sorry for the even worse than usual photo quality…. oh and the water spots on our planet box….. #awkward

Here’s what he had…

• Mini cheddar rice cakes
• Colby cheese cubed
• 2 little dippers of apple sauce…. cause one is just not enough.
• Candy bones
• Granola bar
• a few veggie straws
• Dog in house chicken and cheese sandwich

Finally on to What is it Wednesday!!!!

Here is a photo of the first lunch in which it was featured.  11/1/12 (a no school day for my princesses)

Can you tell what it is yet? Still kinda looks like a Jelly Donut, doesn’t it?
Here is what they had…

• Green Beans
• M&M’s (remember this was an at home lunch… don’t worry there was no mixing of the green bean juice with the yummy candy!
• Cinnamon applesauce
• Organic french vanilla yogurt
• Pretzel sticks……….

And…. A Peanut Butter And Jelly Biscuit! YUM!!

hold the Jelly for A

Here is what you need and how we made them

• 1 package of pillsbury  Grand biscuits.
• Peanut Butter
• Jelly

Preheat your oven according to the directions on the biscuit package. Open up your biscuits and separate each one at the middle to form two pieces. Set one half aside  and one half on a baking sheet. Add about 1 table spoon of peanut butter to each half that is on the baking sheet. Replace the half you set aside to each one of your peanut butter halves. Crimp the edges to seal and form just one biscuit again. Use your thumb or rounded spoon to create an intent on the top of each biscuit. Leave some alone if you have a jelly hater like me. ;) Add just enough jelly to fill the hole. Baked as directed on biscuit package. If you want to fake people into believing these are Jelly donuts you can add a glaze. (just a mixture of powdered sugar and milk) Then top with sprinkles and a dusting of powdered sugar. :)

We also had these in Monday’s lunch 11/5/12. My pictures are bad cause the batteries in my speedlite died, but you can see the insides a little better in these photos since I halved them to fit better in our Goodbyn Byntos.

Both girls enjoyed basically the same items. K got purple nerds and A got pink nerds…. oh and of course no jelly for A!

Here’s what they had…

• Organic vanilla yogurt
• Peanut butter and jelly biscuit hold the jelly for A
• Green beans
• Mini cheddar rice cakes
• Frit puffs
• Nerds
• Roasted sunflower seeds with a few chocolate covered ones on top for color.

So, did you guess correctly? I’d love to hear some of your guesses. Feel free to leave them in the comments section!

Some things used to make these lunches

What is is Wednesday? And how I avoided the dreaded school chicken sandwich hot lunch!

This fools my girls every time! They always think it’s ranch. I sure looks like it, but it’s not! So, what do you think it is? Keep reading to find out!

Today was chicken sandwich day at school. If you have been following along with this blog at all, you know that chicken sandwich day is a staple to my girls’ weeks. I have been trying to get them to “Just say no” to all school hot lunches, but I can never get them to say no to this….. Until today!!! Last night I decided to make some breaded baked chicken for dinner. Nothing fancy here…You know, the kind that you shake, then bake? ;) Anyway, my tiny princesses decided that it would be so much yummier that the school chicken sandwich so they wanted to take that for lunch instead. Okay, so the real kicker was that if they took a packed lunch they would get a surprise Lunch Box Love Note from sayplease.com inside. ;)
Both lunches were pretty much the same with only minor details changed.

Tiny princess K’s lunch with inner container lids off 10/24/12

 

Here’s what she had…

• Spooky Shake-N-Bake chicken with bone food pick/fork in a spooky spider silicone cup.
• Ketchup for dipping
• Chobani Champions Chocolate Chunk Yogurt (did you guess correctly?)
• Carrots (no ranch)
• S’mores trail mix. A bit more than usual. (Another “bribe” to guide them away from school lunch.) ;)
• Pineapple in small blue container
• Granola bar halved

The only differences between K & A’s lunches are…. Added ranch and Mott’s Medleys fruit snacks. Omitted pineapple.
