Tuesday, No Groceries Blues Day

Our fridge has a case of the blues right now, it's feeling a little low - on fresh fruit, cheese, & milk, that is. The pantry's sad & lonely too...  Luckily Tuesdays are always breakfast for lunch day at school, so Bella, Pickle & Sprout can have pancakes, yogurt & fruit, while Birdie & I do a big shop and stock up. Maybe I'll pack Birdie a Beaba tray of snacky foods to go - if I can scrounge up enough miscellaneous munchies.

Something like this one I packed her last week:

I love the Beaba tray as a sort of muffin tin meal to go. The 7 little cups each hold about 2oz of food, it fits in our BuiltNY insulated lunch totes, and it has a lid! It's made for freezing portions of baby food, and I never would have thought of using it for a lunch - thanks to my friend Karen of What's In Our Lunch Bags? for the idea! You can see the lid in her posts.

Birdie loves her "Beaba bites" lunches. I should probably get another tray, for the summer, when Sprout's out of school - she's going to want one too.  But which colour....

Mod 60's Muffin Tin Meal

This Muffin Tin Monday's theme is The 60's. It's also my 400th post. Far out!

Birdie's mod muffin tin meal contains...

• sunburst & grape tomato flower power
• swingin' swirled cheese stick
• lemon yogurt pretzels
• groovy baby carrots
• psychedelic yogurt
• mod circles peanut butter sandwiches
• strawberry hearts

... served in a groovy Beaba tray :)
