Easter's On It's Way

Well, I have finally worked out my part of Easter dinner...sort of. I typically am in charge of desserts, yet that is the only thing I am still torn on. I think because I love spring-y desserts, it's hard to decide what to make.. lemon tart, lemon poppyseed cake, something fruity, another regular favorite, or something new? Yes! Well, scratch that.. not only do I not want to make 12 different things, but there are only six of us seated at the holiday table this year, so it would be silly to do that. Decisions, decisions. In the meantime, I know I'm in charge of deviled eggs (yum) onion dip (a hot cheesy, delicious spread that at some point I will post), and bread. I'm thinking I had better work it out soon because I work on Saturday, so it leaves me only a little time for planning, shopping, and cooking. Rant over, and on to the lunches!

Easter Bunny Lunch
Brown Cow cream top Greek honey yogurt w/ sprinkles, strawberries, Trader Joe's honey roasted peanuts in the pink bunny container, turkey sausage, carrots, broccoli, grilled cheese bunny, and ranch in the orange container.

Rabbit Soup

No, no, no... not real rabbit soup. This is soup with a side of rabbit. Well, a rabbit egg. Yes, yes, I know rabbits don't lay eggs.. just see the lunch for yourself! As seems tradition, just as a holiday approaches, my kiddo gets a cold. Soup just seemed to hit the spot today!

Minestrone soup with cheddar cheese, hard boiled egg, Smart Puffs, and a fruit mix of watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and blueberries.

Don't forget to enter our Plum Organics giveaway while you are visiting. The giveaway opportunity ends tomorrow!

Course, I forgot that today was Something On A Stick Day, and you can't exactly do much with soup to fit that theme, but be sure and pop over to Bent On Better Lunches for her fantastic lunch on a stick post, as well as links to lots of other fun foods on sticks, including some older ones from us. And, even though my post will be late for the occasion, stay tuned for a hot dog on a stick post first thing next week!

Early Easter Lunch

What is it about a holiday on the horizon that makes me lazy? Well, not lazy, rather my motivations are centered elsewhere this week. Holiday prep, yes. Holiday lunches, no. I did finally get some gifts sorted and baskets out and ready for the weekend, but no clue on food plans for Easter, much less tonight's dinner. Oh well. Perhaps tomorrow I will get around to accomplishing a bit more.

Chicken breast strip, baby spinach, cucumbers, strawberry, ranch in container, mini peanut butter & jelly, provolone cheese, and Chicago style popcorn mix.

For the egg, I used the FunBites Luv It cutter, and some food color pens. Ta-da!

Bunny Bonanza

I felt so bad being so sick over the entire week of Easter and then some, that I had to squeeze out one more Easter bunny themed lunch before hanging up my hat and moving on. I'd still like to do a lunch with an egg chick or something of that nature, but I figure that can be an extension of spring, so we stuck with bunnies. I have to say I love the little spice container. What fun!
