Family Lunches: 8.30.13 (With Hotdog Tacos!)

It's the first Friday of the school year!

Bagel sandwich: 28g, melon: 5g, cucumber: 2g, feta: 1g, bbq corn kernels, cinnamon cookies: 2g

The Boy has a banana for snack (not pictured, 28g).  His lunch is in a Yumbox, and he has melon, cucumber, feta cheese, Naturebox BBQ Kettle Kernels, a mini whole wheat bagel with pesto, lettuce from my CSA, liverwurst, and Monterey Jack cheese, and some cinnamon crackers.

Hotdog Taco filling

For dinner on Thursday night, I made up something I called Hotdog Tacos - the filling was sliced hot dogs, corn, and white beans, with some taco seasoning.  We all loved them!

The Girl asked for leftovers in her lunch, so she has a couple Hotdog Tacos, a pluot, strawberries, a string cheese, and some cinnamon crackers, packed in an Easylunchbox.  Do you like her Mexican dog?  For snack, she has a Chobani Champions yogurt and a banana (not pictured).

I have a salad with feta cheese, some salsa in an Easylunchboxes Mini Dipper, crumbled up taco shells so I can make my salad a taco salad, and a pluot, in my Easylunchbox.

Lunches for an Outing: Wheeler Mountain - 6.15.13

Our first hike of the season!!

The Boy has been begging to do Wheeler Mountain since last year... It is a 2 hour drive from our house, so it isn't an easy one to get to.

But I think we may all have a new favorite mountain!  It's a relatively short hike and so pretty... challenging at times, and all of us came down with holes in our pants - though this was caused by foolishly sliding down granite slabs on the way down.  Poor planning, but it was fun.

We had several friends along with us, and I made all the lunches.

Everyone had some Asian snack mix, fruit (The Girl got strawberries, but everyone else had cantaloupe), a sandwich, and either BBQ Corn crunch snacks from Naturebox or Guacamole bites from Naturebox.

For my vegetarian friend, I put leftover grilled curry veggies in his sandwich instead of ham.

A stack of hike-ready lunches!

I also brought along some Astronaut ice cream that I had as a treat.

The lunches were delicious mountain-top.

None of us can wait for our next adventure - and the accompanying lunch!

Blog Hop: May the Fourth Be With You Star Wars Lunch for The Girl

We are Star Wars fans in my house.  I am pleased to participate in the May the Fourth Blog Hop - one of two from the Bento Blogger and Friends this year.

The Girl has a camp out tonight for Girl Scouts, and is first participating in Green Up Day, a wonderful Vermont tradition of getting out on the first Saturday in May every year and cleaning up litter.  So, she needs a lunch on this gorgeous Saturday.

She has the last of the cinnamon swirl bread that she made, along with some Naturebox Banana Bread Granola, a Darth Vader full of pomegranate craisins, a light saber, some apple slices, and orange slices.

This lunch is not as cool as I would have liked, but I have an excuse...

May the Floor Be with You!

I have flooring on my mind.  Redoing the flooring in our dining area.  Right now, it's a hideous brown shag.  I cannot wait until we have it redone.  So, I'm a bit distracted from the lunch packing.

At least I have Vader.

And I'll have Star Wars on in the background whilst I work.

Now - don't miss the other awesome lunches on the hop.

Once you've completed the hop...
