That also means that Waffles, the Koala class pet has to go back to school. In hind sight, I should have made a koala lunch because that part is tough. I thought I'd do another lunch and snack for the occasion, though. Today, the kiddo also gets to share some of her favorite things, so she is excited about that! Wish I could be there to see it! Hope you all have a great weekend!<br />

During that week, they get to be line leader, teacher's helper, and on Friday, they get to bring some things in and tell the class some things they want to share about themselves! How fun is that? In addition, they get to bring home the 'class pet' for the week... a koala named Waffles! Along with the stuffed toy, they also get a journal to write and draw pictures about all the fun things they did while Waffles stayed with them! I love this time they can celebrate being 'special' as an individual in the class.<br />
<br />
So, naturally, I had to celebrate my 'Star Student' too! Monday's lunch was 'star' heavy for the occasion.<br />

For Tuesday, I went a little more subtle. I thought that this was also a time to celebrate some of the things that make my little 'star' so special! One of her absolute favorite things is owls... ALL things owls! So, let's do an owl lunch, right?<br />

It doesn't get any easier. Our version of tuna salad is made with mayo, a little mustard, chopped dill pickles, and a healthy dose of fresh ground pepper. Delicious as a sandwich or wrap, tuna salad is equally yummy with crackers and cheese, and is super easy to pack that way so we don't end up with any sad, soggy bread.<br />

Seriously, like I need to go shopping right now instead of posting this! I even cooked pasta last night for dinner using the end of two different types of pasta. Oh well. Lunch still comes together without too much effort, and I prefer to think of this lunch and snack as a nice variety rather than a bunch of odds and ends. Yummy, either way!<br />

I have to say that the addition of the trivia Lunchbox Love note in this box led to much debate with my 6 year old..,. first about mammals, then about flying versus gliding, then all about the different kinds of bats, which eventually led to a discussion about blood sucking and vampires. Tis the season I suppose.<br />

Not only does the garden being prepped for winter signify that time of year has come, but we always start our <a href="http://www.zoeslunchbox.com/2012/06/recipe-review-no-bake-energy-bites.html">No Bake Energy Bites</a> batches going shortly after school starts. This is our first batch of the season. We always make them exactly the same, but I think I'll be trying to add some dried fruits and nuts for a twist this year.. If you haven't had these, you must!<br />

Not enough meat for a sandwich, end of a box of crackers, last bit of fruit or veggie in the crisper drawer.. yup, that stuff makes for a great lunch!<br />

Not only did I grow up reading Dahl's books and watching films adapted from them, but now I get to share them with my daughter.. and with a little bit of interpretation, lunch! I'm not alone in this, of course, so along with some fellow bloggers, we decided to do a Dahl-icious <a href="http://www.zoeslunchbox.com/search/label/Blog%20Hop">Blog Hop</a>!<br />
<br />
This year, I decided to use one of my favorite books from Dahl, <a href="http://amzn.to/1UQoxkI" target="_blank"><u>The Witches</u></a>, as inspiration for the hop. In a previous year, we also used that inspiration to make our own version of <a href="http://www.zoeslunchbox.com/2012/09/roald-dahl-day.html">vegetarian split pea soup</a>... so yummy and back on the menu this week thanks to some unseasonable cool weather. <u>The Witches</u>, if you haven't read it (and you need to .. just as soon as you are done with the hop, that is), introduces it's main character, and readers, to <i>real</i> witches... dangerous, terrifying, vile creatures that have powerful magic, especially the Grand High Witch! In an effort to rid the world of children, a plan is devised to turn them into mice by luring them in with chocolate and sweets laced with a special potion, Formula 86: Delay action mouse maker. But, these witches weren't expecting one special boy and his very special grandmother!<br />

When summer began, I felt like school was a lifetime away, but here we are... the first day of 1st Grade! The time flew... I should have known it would. I find myself both excited for what the year will bring, what changes and growth are to come, and equally sad because every step towards those things sometimes seems a step further away from my little girl. Some days are just harder than others to watch her walk away...<br />

Lunch, snack, napkin, and drinks were packed in our brand new Pottery Barn
retro lunchbag that we were lucky enough to score at a local PB Outlet (thanks Gram). We also
picked up a pencil bag that I may or may not have snagged for my own gel
pens.. oops. The lunchbox we used today was also from <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/" target="_blank">Pottery Barn</a>, but some of the other little goodies can be scored from Amazon in the affiliate links below.<br />

Lunches On the Go - Book ReviewSo, it's pretty clear that I've been on a blogging hiatus, but I can't think of a better way to get back into the groove and get some new inspiration than with this fantastic new book, <u>Happy Bento!

This book is full of great lunches for the veteran lunch packer looking for some fresh, fun, new ideas. But, it is also a fantastic resource for those just getting started. While the lunches in this <a href="http://amzn.to/1hURi3v" target="_blank">book</a> do call for some specific tools, there is plenty of room for improvisation, and also an extensive section on all the types of tools that Anna has and recommends, including a shopping list/links at the back of the book (AKA a great excuse to shop for some bento goodies). Every lunch is broken down in the book with supplies, ingredients, and directions that are thorough and easy to follow. I love the physical size of this book too... it's almost like a pocket guide that I could toss in my purse to reference at the grocery store. In fact, my daughter has taken it on a couple car trips to peruse while we ran errands.<br />
I figured I might as well let my daughter continue flipping through the book to select what lunches to try first. She chose the one from the cover photo, which was simple, fun, and yummy! Sounds good to me. Anna's instructions for each bento are very detailed, so you can easily recreate her lunchbox ideas with ease, but you can modify them based on food preferences or materials on hand, as well. That is what we did!<br />

There are so many great ideas in <a href="http://amzn.to/1hURi3v" target="_blank"><u>Happy Bento</u></a>, from holidays and special occasions to seasonal and everyday fun. Even some obscure 'fun' days are in this book. How could you not love a book that includes special lunches for Pi Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, and Shark Week?! As mentioned before, many of the lunches call for specific tools to create the lunches exactly, but you can use what you have on hand to make the ideas your own or use the book as a reference for your new Bento wish list! <br />
For instance, in this lunch below, we modified again, but you can bet we have an hippo cookie cutter on the 'to get' list now! Plus, Anna's ideas reminded us about introducing some new foods. We love edamame, but it's not something either of the kids have had, so we mixed some in with something she already likes and it was a hit.<br />

I really hadn't thought about all the food choices that are green, and there sure are a lot of them! It took some convincing that she didn't need a bite of EVERY green food she came up with. I think I'd need a bigger lunchbox, for sure.While the kiddo has fun in school, mama will be celebrating with some Guinness cupcakes! Bailey's buttercream, anyone?

No. Did I snap a photo of the snack and lunch? Sort of.<br />

The snack, since I apparently didn't get a picture, was grapes, cheese cut in the number '100', and some cashews. I swear when that button project comes home, I'll be adding it to this post if nothing else, for my own sake. It was super cute. Zoe chose to use buttons for her 100 objects and had the idea of making a rainbow with them, with 10 of each color. It turned out really cute. For now, you'll just have to take my word for it.<br />
Wait! Did I mention that it has been 100 days of school! What?? It's all very exciting, but mama can hardly wait for summer!<br />

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family and friends, and I also hope that reflecting on the past year brings many cherished memories to hold dear. For us, this is especially true. This year brought a new home, a new adventure with the beginning of Kindergarten, and most importantly, a new member to our family.. a beautiful baby girl. It will be hard to top this year. But, with so much happening this year, other parts of my life took a major back seat. My neglected blog is one of those things. Time to respark the love affair.. not necessarily with cooking and packing lunches, because believe it or not, I've been doing all that.. but the actual sharing of what I've been up to. In an effort to bring you up to speed, rather than do a recap of the 14 most popular posts of 2014, I'm doing some favorites, but also some clean up and posting of things from the past year that never got to make their debut. I'm doing it on the 14th to really get the point across. No, it has nothing to do with the fact that it took me two weeks to pull together this post... why would you think that?! Anyways, enjoy, and I look forward to sharing more with you this year, and getting out there to see what everyone else has been up to, as well. Here's to a wonderful 2015! I can't wait to see what it has in store!<br />

<b>JANUARY -</b> Our year started off just as crazy as it ended. On January 2nd, we sold our house of 16 years. This month also marked Zoe's 5th birthday! Major, major stuff! So, this picture is from a previously posted lunch from her birthday. See the full post and details <a href="http://www.zoeslunchbox.com/2014/01/five.html">here</a>.<br />

<b>APRIL - </b>Technically still 'homeless' and living with my mom made it very difficult to nest before baby arrived, so I had to spend that energy making things for her instead. Two projects were born... 2 nice mid-weight blankets that I use every single day. Seriously, love these things! And, burp cloths. While, I thought I'd never use this <strike>pain in the arse to make</strike> lovely things, when we transitioned to bottles, they too became and are a daily necessity. Plus, come on now.. they are so cute!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="baby blanket" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5RUBATPN63RiZNH6Ad3T2nV-39Q3LleZ_PBT8eWhbkFkefrDRDqdf8E5j7k7WXBUSqzhBYsyMLt2CIt_oIUw0Ly53yTwFAWwxHbAgf8hQl3Q5Ozt2mIqaXiE8R-TM_VKWbPYgBMODL7e/s1600/P1120123.JPG" height="300" title="" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To make these blankets, I used <a href="http://melissadark.blogspot.com/2011/09/easy-baby-blanket-tutorial.html" target="_blank">this tutorial</a> from Greener Grass. I used flannel and minky dot and they were super easy. I absolutely love this fabric, too. I could so see a room decorated with these colors and whimsical forest patterns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
For the burp cloths, I used my own mash-up of the tutorial found <a href="http://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2010/01/perhaps-easiest-burp-cloth-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a> at Diary of a Quilter and the one <a href="http://www.thehappyscraps.com/2013/05/cloth-diaper-to-burp-cloth-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a>
at The Happy Scraps. The biggest thing I can say is that you have to
prewash, dry, and iron all the fabric, including the cloth diapers. This
is absolutely not a step to skip. I used flannel pieces and made a
general measurement and used the cereal box tip for ironing. You'll see
what I mean if you look at the tutorials. They were tedious, but turned
out so cute. Seriously.. I want another baby just to use more burp
cloths! Will I make you some? Um.. hell no. I would never make them
again without some serious incentives.</div>

I even managed to bust out a few bibs with scraps. These were super simple too, and I found a great free template <a href="http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/free-bib-pattern-for-all-skill-levels" target="_blank">here</a> at Craftaholics Anonymous, but I will admit that I made my mommy sew all the snaps on.<br />

<b>JULY </b>-Snack boxes are in full swing around here in the summer, and we got in some great practice and ideas for when school would start, too. Almost always packed and stashed for easy access when in need of a quick snack, an on the go treat, or a last second pick me up when lounging by the pool, these things are more popular than 'actual' lunches. Here are a few examples.<br />

A little 'cheesy' snack for the Kindergarten class! How cute are they?

Ours was a mix of family, fun and filled with firsts.. baby's first Thanksgiving, first time in the high chair, first 'real' food (grandma's sweet potatoes).. and sadly, baby's first tooth. I can't tell you why exactly I stuck my finger in baby's mouth last night, but I did. And what I felt was not expected AT ALL. A little tooth has broken through. What?! She just turned 6 months like 2 days ago.. how is this possible? Things are moving too quickly for mama... slow down little one. Slow down! Love these girls.. so much to be thankful for, for sure!

And in other news... Ruby the Elf has arrived. She must have had a long night since she just tucked herself right in bed with the kiddo. We also set up a 3rd advent calendar (we also have a magnet board and the traditional one with chocolates behind the little doors) this year based on one we saw on <a href="http://teachmama.com/k-cup-advent-calendar-make-thoughtful-thankful-holiday/" target="_blank">Teach Mama</a>. Ours has a little treat in each Kcup.. candy, barrettes, erasers, stickers.. a variety of little goodies. I just used a bit of white glue to attach the tissue, which seemed way easier than hot glue. It turned out pretty cute, so hopefully it functions well too.</div>

One more Halloween lunch. I use the silicone ice molds for yogurt all the time, but applesauce works great too in them. By lunchtime, they are still icy, but not solid, and so yummy.<br />

Instead, I'm buying into this 'Throwback Thursday' thing, and although I'm only <i>throwing </i>back to last week, I say it still counts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, as previously mentioned, the kiddo's costume of choice this year is WyldStyle from The Lego Movie. I would say that the idea, and even execution, for this costume is a relatively simple one, but it does require 4 major components. <br />
1. A black pant and jacket ensemble.<br />
2. Fabric paint.<br />
3. A child that likes her hair to be messed with. And..let me clarify...<br />
4. A child that tolerates her hair to be messed with.<br />
<br />
I have numbers 1 and 2, but I do not have the child described in numbers 3 and 5. Not in the slightest. Hey, I was that kid too. I remember screaming at my mom when she so much as looked at a comb. My daughter? Pretty much the same way. You'd think I'd sympathize, and believe me I do, but not with the kid.. with my mom! Good grief! You'd think that brushing hair was the worst form of torture. And, when you have to make odd parts and clip in extensions, and use bobby pins (the shame, the horror), it actually could be classified that way... for both of us.<br />
<br />
However, if you can get through the hair bit, the costume is a lot of fun, and while I saw the imperfections, the kiddo loved it, so I'm happy. To make the costume, I just free-handed the design the best I could on the front, sleeve, and hood of the jacket, as well as on the pant leg. I also ripped out the grey liner in the hoodie and sewed in a pink one instead. That was about all there was to it, though I'll tell you that adding a layer of white paint under the color made things go much smoother.. lesson learned a bit too late for me, but definitely worth sharing! Then it was the easy, peasy task of just clipping in some color hair pieces (pfft.. see above), putting in a crazy pony, and adding some freckles and eyelashes, which are optional, of course. And there you have WyldStyle!<br />
<br />
In my haste, I also managed to forget to post half of the Halloween lunches I had made, so you may get a couple of those thrown back at you down the road, including this one.<br />

I'm that special! Speaking of 'special', know what the kiddo chose for her costume this year? WyldStyle from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I6JOBTI/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00I6JOBTI&linkCode=as2&tag=zoeslun-20&linkId=RRTDLEA72PSJNKZX" target="_blank">The Lego Movie</a>! That meant mama was making a costume again this year (instructions will be up tomorrow). So, you'd think a fun lunch with the character as the theme, right? You'd be wrong. I'll leave that one to the professionals (in this case, <a href="http://www.lunchboxdad.com/2014/06/the-lego-movie-wyldstyle-bento-lunch.html" target="_blank">Lunchbox Dad</a>). Instead, I went with a <a href="http://www.zoeslunchbox.com/search/label/Dinosaur">dinosaur</a> for today. Yup, you heard me right. A dinosaur.. the kiddo's favorite I'll have you know. And now that this year's costume is finally done, all she cares to prance around in is <a href="http://www.zoeslunchbox.com/2013/11/my-little-red-t-rex.html">last year's dino</a> I made for her. So, I thought along with lots of other <a href="http://www.zoeslunchbox.com/search/label/Halloween">Halloween</a> themed lunches, today's would be dedicated to the dino, but not just any dino. This one's a witch. May she now peacefully become extinct!<br />

Since I buy my pumpkin in a can, it really is a silly thing, especially since I struggle every year between the family favorites and the new things to try. This recipe is a little bit of both, having adapted it from another fall favorite. I hope you enjoy!<br />

Ingredients - 1 c unsalted butter, room temperature, 2 c sugar, 1 egg, 1 c canned pure pumpkin, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 c flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 1 1/2
tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1-12oz bag white chocolate chips* (~2 c)<br />
<br />
Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Then, add the egg, pumpkin, and vanilla, beating to combine. Then, add the remaining dry ingredients, except white chocolate chips. When thoroughly mixed, stir in the chips.<br />
Drop these by the spoonful on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes, rotating the whole cookie sheet half way or 10 minutes through the baking time. Cool before storing. *I think these would be excellent with butterscotch chips, or a combination of butterscotch and white chips, as well. You can't go wrong with either I imagine.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11773341391389882913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377275335196862944.post-39317614441934784712014-10-23T08:30:00.000-04:002014-10-23T08:30:01.575-04:00Busy, Busy, BusyI seem to have started a lot of projects as of late, which, unfortunately does not translate into getting lots of projects done. Instead, it just means that I have several things going at once, and while sounding busy and being a multitasker sounds good in theory, it really comes done to nothing actually getting completed. It's just a whole lot of frustrating 'works in progress'. I have sworn that by the weekend, something will be completed and major progress will be made somewhere else. I'm cracking the whip, starting with this post on the blog while I catch up on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FN5Z8UY/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00FN5Z8UY&linkCode=as2&tag=zoeslun-20&linkId=P3IWLNS6OAQAET5N" target="_blank">The Walking Dead</a>.. you know, because I'm certain those are the two most important things on my list... right?!<br />
<br />
Also on the agenda? The Halloween costume. Stay tuned for that! And, we are in process of redoing our half bathroom (mainly because I'm putting off doing the main one). And by redoing, I me reDIYing. Yuck. Wish us luck. We have all the materials and the room is prepped, so on to the next step with that. Oh, and another project? Cutting down trees. You know.. without a gas chainsaw and without a truck to haul all the brush and branches and without a stump grinder to take care of those major trip hazards in the yard. Yup. It's going fantastic.. insert sarcasm! Oh yeah, on to lunches.. here are a three from this week. Enjoy.<br />

We lucked out that we went when we did because it was the last weekend for apple picking. Let me tell you, my kiddo played hard with her friends, and helped this mama pick a peck of apples, too. So, not only did she have a blast, but she earned her first fun patch for her Daisy uniform. Now, if only they had a patch for baking apple pies, we'd be set! I figured I'd tie in lunch today with our fun yesterday, and remind her how proud I am of her.<br />

But, I realized the last 2 Fridays were all about pizza too. Last Friday, it was a skewer style pizza stick lunch that was inspired by pizza. Then, today, there was actually leftover pizza sticks. My kiddo's school has a Papa John's pizza event once a month, where a percent of sales comes back to the school. That night was last night. So, not only did I not have to cook dinner last night, but lunch was literally 'in the box' too. Bonus!<br />
