Monday

Monday he used our new divided box. He had celery sticks, bunny crackers, peach chunks (with a grumpy giraffe fork to eat them), turkey roll-ups, grape tomatoes and a mini-pita that I cut into strips. I also did a little decorating with food dividers.

Tuesday

On Tuesday he had the lunch I made for last week’s 3 Tools, 4 Lunches challenge. You can read more about this lunch here.

Wednesday

Apparently I forgot to take a picture of his lunch on Wednesday. Or maybe I deleted it accidentally? I’m not sure which, but I can’t find any photos!

Thursday

On Thursday, I packed a PlanetBox lunch: hummus, carrots, cukes, berries, craisins, salami and a ginger snap.

Friday

And on Friday he had a lunch packed in an EasyLunchboxes bento box: a mini dipper with peach-raspberry yogurt, salami slices, pita strips, red and yellow bell peppers and watermelon chunks.

The yogurt was a sample I received when we attended a preview party for the Tillamook pop-up store that was set up over the weekend in San Francisco and dannnng was it good. I’ve never tried a dessert yogurt before and it’s pretty dang decadent. The kids and I were instantly hooked
