Lunchboxes: Setting the christmas spirit

Today I decided to include a bit of festive cheer in the girls lunchboxes and set the tone in preparation for the christmas holidays. I found some delightful father christmas snack picks at Woollies and quickly added them to my trolley. I also invested in some christmas shaped cookie cutters, which transformed their regular pineapple slices into marvellous christmas trees and stars. I skewered apricot and peach chunks onto the snack picks, prepared some watermelon cupcakes and wrapped up some wholewheat muesli and banana chip bread in a funky christmas serviette for some added festive cheer.

Lunch Box Idea: Valentines Day

Lunch Box Idea under pressure.Today I woke up and it suddenly dawned on me that Valentine's Day had once again lurked up on me and I hadn't purchased or put any thought into making it a really special day for Gav and the girls. My creative juices flowed as much as possible at 5am in the morning. I whipped out my heart shaped cookie cutter and found anything in my low stocked fridge that was still edible and set to work. Cucumber and pineapple shaped hearts. Heart shaped peanut butter sammies. Red pepper hearts with some pea pods and carrot balls to fill the gaps. I also found some red paper and quickly cut out a heart shaped message for the girls to find on opening their boxes. Voila!
