Hey, I just figured out how to view some stats and I've had 6 views from America, 2 from Germany, and 1 from South Korea. That means that at least 3 of them weren't me!! Woot woot! I'm figuring more of this out every day :)
So that this post has some purpose, let's look at G's lunch yesterday (5/8/13)!
I tried (and failed miserably) to make a sandwich pocket. I've
harassed Kendra into giving me gotten some tips about it that have seemed to work a little better. She recommended that I microwave the bread for a few seconds to make it soft enough to squish. And that, all else fails, cream cheese makes great glue! I tried the microwaving on her next lunch, but I had waaaay too much jelly in that one so it slopped out everywhere! Her sandwich in this lunch was cut with a large egg-shaped cutter & has pb&j. Under it are some Stauffer's cheddar whales. I was extremely shocked that they have no artificial ingredients!! I figured, being $1 at Target, that they'd be chock-full of crap but they aren't! Which is a good thing, because they have the best, most cheesiest flavor of any cheese crackers we've tried. Even better than Goldfish! I used a My Melody (Hello Kitty character) plastic baran to decorate her sandwich.
I put vanilla Chobani Greek yogurt in a little dip tub that I got in a pack of 10 hanging in an isle at Albertson's. I
stole from Kendra came up with a completely original idea, where you put a cookie cutter in the yogurt, suck some out with a straw, and then fill it in with something. In this case, more strawberry-rhubarb jam. She loved it!! She'd never had Greek yogurt before, only regular, so I wasn't sure how she'd react to the tanginess but she asked for more :)
I cut the carrot coins into flowers (sort of - they were skinny carrots) with a veggie cutter. Not quite sure where I got it, but it came with a cherry-blossom cutter as well.
Some apples on fish and crab picks, alternated to try to fun it up a bit to get her to eat it. She's not a huge fan of apples (I learned later that it's because she has a hard time biting through the peel, so cutting it into chucks lessens this issue), but she ate them this way. Gotta be smarter than the five-year old!
The white blobs in the silicon baking cup are these strawberry liquid-filled marshmallows we got on a recent trip to
Uwajimaya in Beaverton.
This box at Target is very similar to the one I used for this lunch:
I want this one so badly!! The one I used is only one layer, does not have flatware, and has a clear lid. There are cute octopi on the bottom of the box that she was delighted to find after eating, and pink waves on the lid. Adorable!

I purely go to Uwajimaya about twice a year when I can force myself to drive to that side of town, and am obsessed with Kendra's blog. It's kinda creepy, actually. A little stalker-ish. ;D
