DIY Lunchables

okay.. everyone does these, but hey, it's a cute lunch.

Seriously, aside from the fact that my daughter can't have the cheese (can you really call that stuff in store bought lunchables cheese?), she doesn't like artificial fruit snacks (even as a rare "candy") anymore (can you blame her?), and even the "healthy" option ones don't have the right meal portions, and all the HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and other artificial additives just can't be good for you.

So... the cheaper, slightly better (hey, it's still deli meat and regular butter crackers that aren't whole grain, but everything in moderation) before the added sides becomes a super healthy lunch in the grand scheme of things when you make it yourself.



so in our rubbermaid takealongs container (I love them... seriously love them) she has 10 crackers with 4 slices of deli turkey cut into flowers and skewered on christmas/winter holidays picks (there's also one hiding in her peas... which were put in per her request)  The peas and oranges really make this a colorful lunch and I put foil in the main section to symbolize wrapping paper (and prevent moisture from spreading)... yes... Christmas is coming... and so are presents.
