"When the Kids Make Lunch" Bento

When the decision is made last minute that a lunch from home is needed after all, the making of it is delegated to the person requesting it.

In this case, the girl decided last minute that she wasn't thrilled with the choices at school and wanted a last minute lunch.

Simple Snacks and New Boxes

We haven't been buying a ton of new bento boxes lately.

I mostly use my favorites over and over again, so other than a Wonder Woman set I really had to have, we haven't gotten anything new.  Until these ones.  Easy Lunchboxes came out with snack boxes and these are a game changer.

Time for Camp Lunch

The girl is off to camp this week.

Now, this is her favorite camp because she is going with friends, and my favorite camp because there is a bus pick up about 20 minutes from my house instead of having to drive way up towards the Wyoming border.  The only thing they ask for the bus is to send a packed lunch for the drive up so they aren't stopping along the way.  I can do that!

Braces Mean Soft Foods Lunch

When the girl first got her braces on, we realized she was having some trouble biting into things.

So we kept it simple with a lot of soft foods, including a favorite salad and crackers.

My Lunch is Looking at Me!

A little bit of fun off my camera roll from the last semester.

Things I learned from my daughter, her guy friends find her lunch super amusing, so we had to go all out more than once.

Super Salad Bento Lunch

Now this lunch? This was definitely made for my girl!

One of her absolute favorite lunches is a huge salad bento.  Our deal is that it needs to have sliced meats or eggs and cheese to add some protein too, but it's her idea of a perfect meal.  All we add is some dressing in a separate container, a drink, and a few snacks to it.

It's a Naan-derful Lunch!

It's kind of fun going through pictures from the year and playing, "Guess that lunch?"

Sometimes, the clues are provided for me, based on the kid's preferences or amount of food, sometimes it's, "I wonder who ate that?"

This lunch?  Definitely the boy!  The blackberries and three sandwiches are a giveaway.
