Nuts About Fall

I'm not ready to for it to be Winter yet! I love Fall! Anyways, it's not officially winter until December 22 :) So here are a few more Autumn-themed lunches for my sproutlets (and a we'll-miss-you-themed one for their Daddy) :


It gets really windy where we live, and there's a lot of Dutch influence around town - even a couple of windmills - so the cookie was perfect - and the crackers behind the cheese leaves remind me of windblown clouds :) Under the windmill is a green dip container with caramel for the checkered apple slices (thanks Bento for Kidlet). The orange muffin cup holds spiced almonds, and the brown one, mixed nuts. Grapes (on leaf picks) and cheddar leaves add colour and yumminess.


The little girls have muffin tins with carrot hearts, a maple sandwich cookie, mixed nuts, applesauce (with an apple leaf on top), grapes, and cheese. I'm betting against them trying the nuts, but, sometimes they surprise me.

I made those lunches up last night, and good thing, because I slept in today and had to scramble this morning - so no pics of what Pickle or Beanstalk took - not that they would be worth posting anyways... I didn't do a thing to them - besides being pressed for time, I was kind of crabby since Sailor Boy left this morning. I had already made up a special lunch for him :


It's a salami, provolone and cheddar sandwich, cut with several different Match & Munch Lunch Punches, grapes, & mixed melon balls. I was going to write something corny on the EasyLunchbox lid, something along the lines of "a piece of my heart will be missing while you're away" ... but I didn't get around to it in time. Ah well, it's a short trip, he'll be home for the holidays, I'll have more chances to be corny :)

  2. These are so great! My hubby's leaving Sunday for San Francisco and RUSSIA(!) Longest we've ever been apart in 23 years. I need to get as "corny" as you. So sweet. He'd totally love it :)

  3. Russia - wow, bet that's a long plane ride! You could sneak some "lunchbox love"-type notes in his baggage or pockets for him to find while he's away :)

    Awww. That "a piece will be missing" bento is so sweet. I guess it's "bitter-sweet", really. I feel for you. It's so hard for everyone when Daddy is away. Glad he'll be home soon. xo lunchpunch
