DIY BBQ!

Fall is...

a zillion things. Leaves falling, jumping in leaf piles, pumpkin spice lattes, crisp morning runs, hot cocoa, decorating for halloween, apples, pumpkin EVERYTHING...

and crockpot meals!

ANDDDD crockpot LEFTOVERS!!!

Which means, lunch making is about to get even easier.

this lunch is packed in our Laptop Lunchbox container!

You only need 3 ingredients for the sauce!

- organic, high fructose corn syrup-FREE ketchup

- bragg's liquid aminos or some coconut aminos (or whats-his-shire (hobbits, anyone!?) sauce, but make sure you read the ingredients!)

- low sodium soy sauce (also make sure you read the ingredients)

Don't even worry about mixing these in a bowl, first. Shred your meat and then just put the 3 sauces in the bowl with it and mix together. If you like spicier stuff, toss in some red pepper flakes.

The BBQ wraps pictured above are on a spinach tortilla. Olivia also had hummus and carrots, kiwi berries, and banana bread (recipe here) with PB Crave Cookie Nookie for dipping, that I topped with a few Enjoy Life Foods gluten/dairy free chocolate chips.

Rainy Day Bento

Only.. its not a rainy day. I am yearning for the days of spring! Cute skinny jeans, baggy tank tops, adorable wedge sandals... all of it splashed with ketchup and sidewalk chalk because you know, I'm a mom. Only kidding... kind of.

Today's lunch is in our Yubo!

In this lunch we have:

A tulip sandwich with PB & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams

Balsamic vinegar cheese rain drops

Grapes and yogurt covered raisins

strawberries

Its not pictured but I also sent along a Zbar. And a bottle of water.

Hope y'all have a great day!

Simple Little Monday

Good morning! I love Mondays. Most people don't, I know! I love it because we get to go back to our routine- bedtimes, lunch making, breakfasts with my adorable little Sophia after we shuttle Olivia off to school. I love a routine! I also love nap time for S while O is at school so I can concentrate on homework and business! Busy mamas, you know what I mean.

In today's lunch: 

Earthgrains berry bread heart sandwich with Sunbutter

Z-bar gummy rope

kashi crackers with pepperjack cubes

blueberries, strawberries and frozen grapes

All packed in one of our favorite containers: the Easy Lunchbox!

So, I would love to know, what is your favorite day of the week, and why? :) 

Miss Piggy

Good Monday Morning!

I am looking forward to this week after an awesome weekend with my BFF and my husband! I love having company!

Today's bento is so cute, to me, because Sophia always asks me "Where ya-ya?"... and I say "Olivia's at school, honey!" So a couple of seconds later she says "Ya-ya school with Miss Piggy!" and I have NO idea why she thinks Miss Piggy is at school with Olivia?!

Hence the piggy lunch today!

In Olivia's Easy Lunchbox container

A little piggy sunbutter sandwich made with my cutezcute cutter

Chobani vanilla chocolate chunk yogurt

flower cucumbers

laughing cow and pretzels

The vanilla chocolate chunk is Olivia's favorite yogurt flavor, so I think she will be super excited to find that as a treat in her lunchbox!
