This is my What's For Lunch Wednesday post :)

warning: not pretty!

Aw man. A better person would be able to pack with half a kitchen. I, however, can simply manage this:

So, not the usual, but still good!

Ceasar salad with broccoli, strawberries and the last market apple.

In other, more disgusting news, I opened my lunchbox after school today to take out the containers and do the usual cleaning, and there was a BUG in it.

Whaaaat?! I am not a bug person. This is what men are for, isn't it? Anyway, I think I screamed like a four year old and then just ran away.

It was kind of scary, it wasn't like a tiny little one or anything either. It was kind of the shape of a lightning bug/firefly but BIGGER and BLACK. Creepy crawly.

How did it get in there anyway?!?

I'm not a bug person. (in case you couldn't tell)

Packing Lunch and Parallel Parking

The only thing they ^^ have in common is that I did both today.

• Sliced Red Beet Egg in a Pita


• Strawberry


• Broccoli


• Carrots


• Salad


• Fruit Leather flower cut-out


• Tostito's chips with salsa (not pictured)

Today I had my first driver's ed session with one of the gym teachers who runs the program. I get 5 lessons total, and then I can take my driver's test with him (my six months are up April 15th!)

We ended the lesson with parallel parking, something I've never done before, and it was surprising less difficult than I thought it would be. I'm guessing it's harder when you don't have four giant orange cones guiding you.

Hopefully, I'll have my license by the end of April (fingers crossed!)

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder!

Navel Orange slices, cherry jello (made from a box), baby carrots, salad, pasta salad (also from a box...huh) almonds and a HOMEMADE RED BEET EGG! :)

Man, have I missed those things.

What a washed out picture! This lunch was much brighter in-person.

Taste the Rainbow!

Spaghetti noodles sprinkled with parmasean, salad, strawberries, cauliflower, baby carrots, tapioca pudding with almonds for dessert. White, orange, red, green, purple...in real life, the noodles were yellow. Today was colorful :]

everything but the kitchen sink?

Contents: 'baby carrots' (found the two giants on the left in our newest bag of baby carrots...I think maybe they're mom&dad carrots instead), salad with last part of the egg roll, tortilla strips, celery, almonds, broccoli, and French dressing. Sugar free chocolate pudding for dessert.

Return of the Bento

Meatless Meal: Peanut butter and Marshmallow fluff on hot dog roll, salad, grapes and strawberries, pasta salad, leftover chips.


Meatless Meal: Cheese-filled tortelini, strawberries and grapes, granola bar, carrots, rice and sauce.

When I told my mother I had decided to be vegetarian, she was good about it. The other night we made lasagna, and she told me she had planned to make a little meatless portion of it. I was very impressed that she was willing to do that, as I hadn't been expecting much.

However, not five minutes later, she reminded me that we have TUNA in the cupboard, and keeps telling me that I should take it for lunch....

PS - I'm loving the fruit. For V-day, my sister got an edible arrangement, and we're all slowly picking away at it. It's better than anything we've been getting at the store!

The No-Name Bento

It has been a long day, my brain is on the frits (fritz? Is this even a word? That's how bad it is) and so today is a no-name bento.

My lunch, on top of a department store ad (woops. I woke up later than usual.)

Top: Turkey/Romaine/Cheddar scraps roll-ups. Note to self: More romaine next time. We've been testing out different brands of turkey, and I don't particularly like this one! Peach, Broccoli, Red Beet Egg
Bottom: Leftover pasta that wouldn't fit in yesterday's lunch, salad.
Spaghetti sauce and dressing on the side.

8 days till school starts! Where did this summer go?!?

HOT MESS.

^^ That is what our guard instructor teasingly yells when we fail.

Today's lunch was a HOT MESS. It was the first lunch that I tried to use my new teensy weensy box from Jlist. Needless to say, it was a fail. The girls at lunch thought the box was cute, but it's obvious to me that I'm going to have to adapt a lot of my 'lunch staples' in order to make things fit better aesthetically.

And without any more stalling....



Inside the hot mess:

• the usual turkey/romaine/mayo on the last baguette bread in the freezer
• three cherries
• salad with broccoli
• red beet egg and part of a leftover cheese stick. We've been eating junk for dinner lately...I try to make up for it with my lunches, but every now and again, some leftovers find their way in.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better looking.

Chick'n Nugget Meatless Bento

The main attraction: 4 Morningstar 'Chick'n' nuggets. I was eating them cold here, and I have to say I think they're better cold than they are warm (I had to test one the night before to make sure I liked them before packing in a band camp bento)

Other treats:

• bisquick biscuits
• the last frozen mac n cheese cup (on my to do list this weekend!)
• mashed potato balls? not sure what else to call them, just fried mashed potatoes
• red beet egg, salad, broccoli, carrots

This is my meatless bento for the week :) and also my What's For Lunch Wednesday entry! Check out the other lunches here!

Another two-for-one special

Going backwards and starting with today's bento:

We made meatballs for dinner one night in the crockpot, and I asked to leave a couple out so I could put them in a lunch. Then I made some penne the night before, and put the two together with a little container of spaghetti sauce on the side.
Also in this bento:

• Bisquick biscuits (at this rate, I'll be out by the end of band camp)
• One of the last few egg rolls still in the freezer
• Red beet egg (We're not going to make it to market this week! I'm so upset, I love packing these in my lunch!)
• lots of grapes and an apple on the side

Now yesterday's:

In this lunch:

• salad with leftover chicken, some broccoli and carrot flowers
• bisquick biscuits
• apple, some cherries, almonds, red beet egg

4 days down, 4 to go! I have the sock tan to prove it.
