While I do have a nice camera, most of the pictures of these lunches are done from my mobile phone. I hope that my pictures show a "detailed enough" view of my designs. If you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me or drop me a comment! Thanks!
Plate lunch:
- Halloween pasta that I found at World Market (but I've also seen at TJ Maxx.) It is mixed with some cheese sauce that I made with a roux, milk and grated Parmesan
- Carrot slices carved into little jack-o-laterns. I got this idea off of searching through images of halloween lunches
- Two marshmallows made into ghosts with a food grade marker
- Nutella and bread sandwich with sugar pea pods cut up as legs and I took two of the peas to make the eyes
Bento version:
- Halloween pasta with an Alfredo cheese sauce. Although, if you were concerned about sending to school, I would just leave the noodles plain - maybe a little Italian dressing
- One marshmallow made into a ghost with a food grade marker
- Two Nutella sandwiches made into spiders with sugar snap peas as eyes and legs
- Carrots carved into little jack-o-lanterns
- Apple slices with a bell shaped cookie cutter that I made into ghosts by just adding little sprinkles for eyes
- Yogurt raisins made into ghosts with the same food marker
- Stacked sugar snap peas
The past three days have been crazy due to hurricane Sandy and threat of losing power. Fortunately, the lights remained on where we are, but my heart is with all the families that have damage, flooding, and lost loved ones. I am also sad about the HMS Bounty, that sank off the coast of North Carolina.
Mr. Man and I were just there for a visit in September. We also had some trips this summer - seeing the ship, enjoying the oceans along Long Island, and visiting Atlantic City. I realize I went off on a tangent there - but this situation is heavy on my heart and I just wanted to share my thoughts. I certainly hope FEMA and our great country will provide strength and support to help everyone affected through this time.
As always, thank you for stopping by!
