All Star Lunches

All my school age sproutlets have stars in their lunchboxes today :)

Granny Smith apple with Bella's first initial, grape tomatoes, 
peppered turkey & sharp cheddar on a whole wheat bagel.


 Honey ham roll-ups, Granny Smith apple,
  raisins and whole wheat bagel for Beanstalk.

Pickle has a round sandwich with a star
 and a star sandwich with his first initial.

I hope all my little stars have an all-around good day :)

It's their Daddy's birthday today! He'll get to be the star this evening, with cake! Birdie & Sprout said he should have a chocolate cake with pink frosting, and what a nice Daddy, he said that's what he's always wanted. So the little girls and I will be baking and frosting today, and getting all chocolatey and pink

  5. How do you get your apples to not turn brown? I still can't figure it out. My little one doesn't like lemon juice (too sour) and apple juice didn't work. Advice?

    1. I use a product called Fruit Fresh, found with canning goods. It's fairly inexpensive, and I have yet to go through the jar I bought in October. I did an apple browning experiment here: http://www.bentonbetterlunches.com/2011/10/great-apple-browning-experiment.html
      Orange juice also worked pretty well :)
