Lunch: 3.15.13 - Birthday Celebration!

Tomorrow, The Girl is turning 10.  Unbelievable.  We have a big party planned, but today she has cupcakes for school, and I made her a special lunch.

Her snack is Chobani Champions yogurt (not pictured).

Her lunch is a birthday cake shaped sandwich with homemade hummus and ham, using a LunchPunch, a hard boiled egg shaped like a flower, raisins, veggie chips, and a happy birthday clementine, all packed in her Easylunchbox.

Lunch: 8.30.12

Today's snack features some Chobani Champions yogurt that I received for a review (and giveaway - coming soon!).

The Girl has some Orange Vanilla Chobani Champions and some cut up pancake for snack.

Everything open to show you what's in the containers...

And everything all closed

Her lunch is some leftover spiral cut bbq hotdog (a recipe I found on Pinterest), a Cabot cheddar single, some homemade pain de mie bread cut with a Lunch Punch puzzle cutter, small plums (they called them Prune Plums at the store), strawberries, and some carrot sticks in a covered silicone container, with ranch dressing in a round sauce container.

Lunch: 1.25.12

Snack for The Girl is some pear slices, and some crackers.

Her lunch is some mango cubes (new for her), strawberries, grapes, a plum, a ham and cheese sandwich (cut with a Lunch Punch), and the last of the plantain chips.

I want the new Sweet set! Another tip: Use them on a flat surface, like a cutting board or countertop. Don't try it on a plate. Epic fail.

I'll get in touch with you to get your email to send to The Lunch Punch people so you can get your prize.  Congratulations!

Keep an eye out - I've got another review and giveaway coming up very soon!

Review & Giveaway: The Lunch Punch

I've wanted to try The Lunch Punch for a while, and I finally got my chance to try them out recently.

When I first tried them, I had a few... problems...

Yeah, I can't tell what it is, either...

I asked some of my fellow lunch bloggers for some tips, and here's what they shared.

1) Trim crusts first.
2) It sometimes helps to roll the bread a little thinner before cutting
3) Cut each slice of bread separately
4) Make sure to push through all the way and wiggle a little on the counter/cutting board, or turn the cutter over with your bread in it, and press all around to make sure that the cutting is complete.

I got better.

The Princess got her face a little smeared with cranberry sauce, but definitely better!!

Once you get the hang of them, they are a ton of fun!  They work really well for peanut butter and jelly (the kids were using them for breakfast all by themselves!  I didn't get any pictures of that, alas...)  They definitely work better for thinner sandwiches as opposed to the Thanksgiving Leftover sandwiches I was making last week...

How Puzzling!
