Bento Lunch

So we don't very often have an excuse to pack a lunch, but this woman offers amazing inspiration on bento style lunches.  So often bento lunches are fancy cut foods and all kinds of time consuming sillines.  3 Kid Circus offers real food, real lunches and real life.  Now I need boxes.  Because every project requires a short trip to the store!

fun with food

Perhaps one day when I don't have a crying baby on one hip and a toddler complaining about whatever food I'm prepping hanging off one leg I'll start playing with my food.

Popcorn and fonts

I just realized how annoying that font is I chose to use.  Hang with me while I try to improve upon that. 

I found a recipe for Jello popcorn on my favorite cooking site ourbestbites.com.
I whipped it up this afternoon using raspberry jello.  I thought it was tasty and so did the kid.  The husband didn't care for it to much, but that's okay.  More for me :)

Sugar Cookies

I'm going to try this recip for sugar cookies next week.  http://munchkinmunchies.blogspot.com/2009/05/no-fail-sugar-cookies.html

These don't require refrigeration prior to cutting out and I love that!  Less planning ahead for me :)  I have one recipe similar to this, but I'm going to branch out.  I'll let you know how they turn out!
