A Beary Special Nibbler Lunch

In an effort to clear out some odds and ends in the fridge, many a 'nibbler' or snack box style lunch is born... ever changing based on what small bits of this and that we have left hanging around. 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!

Smoked turkey, grapes, olives and capers, Havarti cheese, Trader Joe's cheddar rockets, and cucumber.

Snack today was grapes and celery with Trader Joe's cookie butter.

Just 'Lion' Around

I was at a loss for what to pack for lunch today, so scraps from other lunches and some odds and ends I want to use up are what got thrown into this one. I thought to myself that this was a lunch with foods just lying around... and then I saw some lion picks. Eureka! 'Lion' around lunch it was!

Trader Joe's 12 grain mini crackers, cheddar cheese, smoked ham, Kalamata olives, frozen Chobani banana Greek yogurt, cucumber, mini snickers square, yogurt raisins, and pecans.

For snack, I tried to keep a patriotic color theme. It is Constitution Day, after all!

Boo Berry cereal (sorry, but no way was I paying $3.99 for a tiny container of blueberries), cherry tomatoes, and Babybel cheese.

Harvest Nibbler

Today's lunch was a simple fall harvest nibbler. Simple, yummy, fast, and obvious that mom is clinging desperately to fall, even though the snow is the only thing falling at the moment. Sigh...

Wheat Thins crackers, orange bell peppers, celery, pepperoni, red grapes and pomegranate arils, Brown Cow maple Greek yogurt, colby-jack cheese.

Little Nibbler

These last couple weeks have been insane for us. Not just busy, but crazy in general. I had to finally just pause today and get myself to regroup. And, it was nice today that I could still toss together a fun little lunch in less than 10 minutes thanks to this cute Nibble Tray and some fun accessories. Lunch is served!

Cucumber, dried mango, smoked Swiss/cheddar blend cheese, smoked turkey, Campari tomato,  Naturebox Garden Crunchies almonds, and Ritz crackers.

T.G.I.F.

First off, let me say TGIF.. seriously. Hubby's first week of working at his new job is over. Whew! Of course, I work all weekend, so so much for quality time, or even downtime. Alas.
On another note, have a mentioned that I love my local bakery? They are just a couple minutes from the house, and all the breads, cookies, etc are delicious. They have the best rye bread I've ever had, and when I buy white bread, it is only from them. When we pick it up, it is so soft and almost melts in your mouth. Kiddo usually has the first slice gone before we get back home. She likes it with nothing on it, not even toasted, when it is that fresh. I have to admit that it is delicious! I can hardly wait until it warms up and we can ride our bikes instead of bundle up and drive there.

Bread, celery, Swiss cheese, grapes, orange bell pepper, turkey pepperoni, pistachios, Chobani strawberry yogurt, and peanut butter M&Ms.

For my lunch, I packed leftover chicken meatballs in my Lunchbots from Beneficial Bento's recipe, that uses mushrooms as the binder instead of bread crumbs. I actually enjoyed them best cold and dipped in sauce. Odd, right?

Celery, orange bell pepper, Swiss cheese, bread, chicken & mushroom meatballs, and barbeque sauce.
