This week's Wednesday lunch post is what the girls took to school on Friday. Their lunches got some pretty fantabulous reviews at school.
Peanut's teacher commented that it looked cute, and wished she had a lunch like it. Another teacher said her own lunch didn't look as good either. [blush]
Pumpkin's lunch was photographed by 'some school lady' as an example of what a healthy lunch looks like! This made Pumpkin feel pretty darn special. It made me feel pretty darn good too.
And here I was worried someone would complain that I was clearly endangering the children's lives by putting toothpicks in the lunch. Not to mention possible nitrates in what looks suspiciously like a hot dog.
The lunches:
Sliced all-beef dogs sitting in romaine lettuce cups. Yes, romaine lettuce again. We like it. The girls also have blueberries, yellow pepper slices, carrots and the always popular grapes. It looked rather plain, so I skewered a blueberry with a frilly toothpick, and planted the pointy end in a hotdog slice.
Very cute! I am sure that made your little girl very proud that people commented so positively on her lunch. That would help any kid eat their lunch, if they were "picky" eaters. Very colorful meal too.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! It is all about presentation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful lunch! It looks very yummy. Was the toothpick just for decoration or for eating too?
ReplyDelete@TJ – Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Kris – Thank you!
@babybymk – Thank you. Mostly decoration, but Pumpkin did eat with it for a little bit, instead of using her fork.
