Day 234

Day 234 - Yesterday I had minor surgery on my leg to remove some skin cancer.  I came home with a fairly large bandage and was just sitting on the couch taking it easy.  D came very close to my face, put her hand on my cheek and said "Are you ok Mommy?  Will you still be able to make me cute lunches?"  I couldn't help it...I laughed out loud!  I had not really planned to make her a cute lunch today.  I had made her an extra sandwich when I was making dinner and was just going to pack that.  After a question like that how could I not do "something"!?  So she has her chicken/bacon sub with a happy salami/cheese catepillar, some carrots, a pack of fruit snacks, lady bug m&m's and triple berry Newtons.

Day 233 - Quickie lunch today.  D has salami flowers, ham roll ups, some whole wheat crackers and string cheese.  She has water and homemade yogurt with sour cherries.

Day 232

Day 232 - For lunch today D has a ham and cheese puzzle sandwich, puzzle piece watermelon, cucumber/orange bell pepper flowers and triple berry Newton flowers.

Day 230

Day 230 - For lunch today D has a weekend clean up!  Top left is some mexican dip, apples slices, mini strawberry newtons with fruit leather flowers, corn chips and then everything but the kitchen sink pasta salad.

For the mexican dip...I'm really lazy and D and I are the only ones that really eat it so I just open a can of fat free refried beans and spread it on the bottom of a serving dish then I top it with greek yogurt mixed with a little bit of taco seasoning, top that layer with salsa, sprinkle on some shredded cheddar and top it all with some chopped black olives.  The pasta salad is a variation of the Rainbows and Butterflies pasta salad that I make for D.  I just added some deli meats, turkey, ham and salami.

Please forgive the picture quality.  I had changed the lens on my camera yesterday so I could take some pictures of baby birds in our back yard.  I never got around to changing it back and of course I was running late this morning and didn't have time to change my lens back.  So the lunch picture stinks but I did get some cute pictures of the babies!

Day 229

Day 229 - YAY!!  It's Friday!  This has felt like the longest week ever!  I am very happy that it's Friday!  Today D has some happy frogs!  In the top box is salami on oatmeal bread and a string cheese.  The bottom box is watermelon and kiwi.  The Lunch Punch works awesome on watermelon!!
