Lunches: 4.3.14 plus Sausage Stuffed Piglet Buns

The Boy decided he wanted to make dinner on Wednesday night.  He did the recipe search himself, and was very proud to present to me his idea - Sausage Stuffed Piglet Buns from Girl Meets Dough.  Perfect.

We took a bit of a shortcut and used ready-made Italian bread dough (pop-n-fresh!).  Instead of using beans for eyes, we just used a bit of black food coloring.

Some of them turned out better than others, but The Boy was very proud.  We made them together, but I let him take the lead.  He served them with Caesar salad.

Piggy buns: 45g, salad: 5g, strawberries: 5g, bunny grahams: 23g

For lunch, The Boy has some leftover salad with dressing in the little dog container, a couple piggy buns, strawberries, and chocolate Bunny grahams.  His snack is a couple of Blueberry Belvita breakfast biscuits and apple slices (not pictured, 22g)

The Girl also has some leftover salad with dressing in the little tiger container, a couple piggy buns, strawberries, and chocolate Bunny grahams.  Her snack is a couple of Blueberry Belvita breakfast biscuits and apple slices (not pictured).

I look forward to more kid cooking in the future.

Family Lunches: 4.2.14 plus some April Fool's Fun

I didn't have any good ideas for April Fool's lunches, but I had some good ideas for dinner!

The meatloaf cake has been around the internet for quite some time, and I think I have even made it before.. but it is fun, and makes for good leftovers.

The Girl also wanted to make "dinner" to my "dessert" meatloaf cake, and I let her serve the "mashed potatoes and ketchup" (ice cream with strawberry syrup) as a first coarse.  It went over well - can't imagine why.

Meatloaf "cake": 25g, carrots and hummus: 4g, strawberries: 5g. chocolate bunny grahams: 23g

For lunch on Wednesday, The Boy has leftover meatloaf "cake," carrots with hummus, strawberries, and chocolate bunny grahams.  His snack is a couple pieces of apple and two Blueberry Belvita breakfast biscuits (not pictured: 20g)

Lunch for The Boy: 4.1.14

The Girl is home sick again, so today's post is just lunch for The Boy.  I know that it is April Fool's Day, but I had no good inspiration for lunches.. maybe I'll do something for dinner.

Teriyaki noodles: 20g, hummus and carrots: 4g, Chocolate bunny grahams: 21g, strawberries: 5g

The Boy has some teriyaki noodles (I'll report back about how he liked them cold, and if it is positive, I'll post a recipe), carrots, hummus in the blue elephant container, strawberries (with a mustache), and chocolate bunny grahams.
