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…

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!

This is a test….. it’s only a test….

Unfortunately you all have been missing out a little bit on some of the lunches I have been packing for my tiny princesses. I just can’t get my pictures to look the way I would like them to. I guess I’m going to have to go back to making lunches the afternoon before.

I did come across this late dance night snack/dinner, though! The photos still aren’t the greatest, but they are better than what I have been getting.

These meals were packed in our Goodbyn sandwich containers and were a test of sorts. A good friend of mine gave me the challenge of packing items in certain containers and then giving them a good shake test to see how well the food stayed in tact.

Here is the before picture…

I started with a really simple meal for my first “test”.  Here is what they had…

• cheese and crackers
• Disney graham cookies (direct from Disneyland)
• yogurt in the dip container
• fruit snacks
• peppered turkey

After it was all packed up, I let the princesses shake it up! They tossed in the air, they turned it upside down, they EVEN played catch with it!

Here is the result…. I did add the spoon in before we did the shake test.

Other than a little shift of the cheese and crackers…. (including on slice of cheese that got stuck to the lid) I think this meal held up to the test quite well. Everything stayed quite nice and tidy! ♥ Test success!

I hope to do a series of these types of tests as well. Using all different boxes and levels of complicated-ness. :) Be on the look out!

♥ Just cause you know there is always 2 of everything! ♥

Santa likes fun snacks too

Well, another Christmas has come and gone and even though I say this every year I think this one has topped them all. We enjoyed a fabulous relaxing day at home spent with my sweet husbands parents and grandparents. ♥ It was fabulous!

I don’t plan to do much fun lunch making over this holiday, (I’m sure there may be one or two. My girls most likely will request it.) but I do have a few lunches from the days leading up to break that I haven’t shared yet, so I’ll try to add a blog post here and there. :)

This one is a special one. A special request from my tiny princesses.
As we were getting ready to set out some milk and cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve, my youngest tiny princesses decided that he should get a bento style snack instead. I decided she was right. This is what she prepared for him. ♥

I think he really enjoyed his snack!

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! ♥

It’s getting chilly!

The weather is finally starting to drop where it should be and the tiny princesses are sensing that the first snow fall will be just around the corner! Hopefully Mother Nature will not disappoint! :)
I have quite a bit to post today, so I’ll get on with it. The first set of lunches are from Tuesday. I debated whether to post them or not due to the horrible pictures. Same with Wednesday’s lunch for the guy I love. I got off my soap box about the picture thing though and have accepted that my photos are what they are! So…. here you ya go!!

Tiny princess A and K’s lunches 12/4/12
Exactly the same, except A got grapes and K got applesauce. Have you all figured out yet that these are pretty much the only fruits I can get these girls to eat? UGH! It’s very frustrating!

Here’s what they had…

• Candy Cane Turkey Sandwiches
• Grapes for A. Applesauce for K
• Peppermint sugar cookie
• Holiday shaped pretzels with mini peppermint marshmallows
• A small container of Nutella for pretzel dipping.
• They also each got a Christmas LunchBoxLove note! Get your own here!
• Packed in a holiday cookie container found at Walmart! Proof that anything can be a Bento box!

I’ll admit it. I’ve been slacking on lunches for the guy in my life. He has been going into work sometimes at 4:30am. That is just waaaaay too early for me to get up in the morning! Don’t worry, he hasn’t been going hungry. Leftovers usually do the trick for him. This week though he had a normal time day so I was able to create him a fun lunch! Apparently this one was quite the talk of the lunch table at work! ;)

Just a hodge podge of fun colors and whimsical picks, and lots of love. here’s what he had…

• Mozzarella string cheese cut into chunks and skewered onto sweet heart picks
• Turkey and cheese sandwich. I found the fun bread stamp in the Target dollar spot. It came with two different stamps, but was actually $3 not $1. You still can’t beat though. How cute right? I colored the smiley face with some food safe markers
• A few peanut M&Ms
• Green grapes. Don’t you love the little tree trunk picks? You can find them here at All Things For Sale
• Red grape tomatoes made to look like balloons with the sweet little balloon tie picks also from All Things For Sale
• Silicone heart cup with some Gardetto’s snack mix. YUM! The little blue sauce cup has a little bit of butter to dip his snack mix in. (Yes, he has a major butter addiction)
• Packed in a PlanetBox Rover. Also included some LunchBoxLove!

Now onto today’s lunches. Once again they are the same except for the grapes and the applesauce thing. ;)

Here’s what they had…

• Small sauce container with a few princess fruit snacks
• Crackers
• Salami
• Grapes/applesauce
• String cheese chunks with a cute paper penguin pick
• Dark chocolate mint penguin. YUM!
• Vanilla yogurt in a snowman cup from a local dollar store. Now I now there is a slight penguin theme going on here, but I really though without the lid to the snowman cup the shape resembles a penguin quite well. :) I also added a few snowflake sprinkles to get that “chilly” effect.
• Packed in our Goodbyn sandwich containers.

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 A’s lunch with inner lids on

• 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.

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!
• 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….

Yes, my girls are still eating lunch….

Oh My! I’m having such a hard time with blogging lately! Oh well, I’m here now and I’ve got lunches to catch up on! :o) I have to admit part of the reason that I haven’t been posting our lunches is because I haven’t been satisfied with my photos. Now, I know they don’t have to be perfect…. I just wish they would be consistent.
Hard to remember where I left off, but I think it was here.
