Lulu has a salmon and avocado sushi roll, cucumber, oranges, raspberries, egg white and cheese.

A bit heavy on the fruit now that I look at it, but I am always rushing on Friday mornings, so I guess that is how my lack of organisation manifests itself!

23 August 2012

Lulu and Tyga shared a sandwich - I only had 2 slices of bread left!  So Lulu has a salmon sandwich, and apple and kiwi fri, carrots, cucumber and cream cheese and 2 mini pies.

Tyga has the same except he also has some olives and baby pickles.  He does love to graze!

So Tyga has a tuna and avocado sushi, smoked salmon sandwich, kiwi and mandarin for fruit and carrot and cucumber for veggies.

Lulu has kiwi, mandarine and apple, a smoked salmon sandwich, kiwi and carrot.  Obviously nothing else so she went with an empty compartment :(  Always looks so sad to me but better than wasted food for the sake of it!

15 August 2012

Smoked salmon and avocado sandwiches, passionfruit pulp in a container, ryvita with butter and vegemite, a mandarine, fresh cucumber slices and olives.

You may notice I put stuff in and if she eats it, I give it again and again until she stops.  I guess I make her get tired of the same thing over and over, but by then I find something else to put in and start again!

14 August 2012

Fruit shopping on Mondays after school drop off, so we have fresh kiwi slices, mandarine segments, am avocado sandwich, olives (obviously a success yesterday!), ryvita with butter and vegemite, dried pineapple (which my kids call "fut" for some reason???), carrot, snow peas and fresh cucumber slices.

13 August 2012

Monday morning, and what have we in the fridge and pantry?  Well I can go an egg sandwich (can;t do that for Tyga as a girl in his class is anaphylactic to egg so no egg allowed), carrot sticks, snow peas, sushi, mandarine and olives.  She hasn't been a fan of olives lately but thought I'd give it another try.

10 August 2012

Thursday mornings when I go to the gym I like to pick up a sushi roll from my friend Leo, to pop in the lunchboxes on a Friday.  Makes it much easier for me to get their lunchboxes filled in the morning if one compartment is already done!

Tyga has a tuna avocado sushi roll, cucumber, kiwi, slinky apple, a cheese stick, smoked salon rose and some olives.

Lulu has a salmon and avocado sushi roll, a salmon love heart sandwich, a cheese stick, a slinky apple an some olives.

9 August 2012

So obviously I get kiwi fruit just like they price it on the sign - 8 for $2.  Which means the kids get kiwi fruit for a fair few days in their lunchboxes!!!

Lulu has kiwi and a slinky apple, coleslaw sandwich, crackers with butter, dried pineapple, two roasted pumpkin rice balls and some fresh cucumber.

Tyga gets slinky apple and kiwi, a salmon sandwich, cornichons, snow peas and cucumber.

8 August 2012

Lulu has discovered coleslaw! Cabbage, carrot, mayonnaise....what's not to like!  So she has it on a sandwich, then kiwi slices with orange wedges (we eat the skin of the kiwi when it is cut like that - super fibre!!!), dried pineapple and some fresh cucumber.

7 August 2012

A simple lunch today ...strips of capsicum and cucumber, an avocado sandwich, some orange and dried mango.

6 August 2012

Well I didn't go shopping for lunchboxes yesterday, so we had in the fridge enough to fill it up - lucky!

Blood orange segments, a smoked salmon and avocado sandwich, dried mango (from the markets yesterday), cucumber and snow peas.  Not entirely exciting, but nutritious and all eaten!

3 August 2012

Not too dissimilar today which was great as I was really busy!

Coleslaw sandwich (her new favourite!), saladas with butter and rosella jam, passionfruit pulp (in the tub), cucumber, salami and olives.  Nice to have her back to eating olives and salami in her lunchbox.

31 July 2012

Tuesday she has drama before school so i pack her a nice big lunchbox to keep her going for a bit longer.  So fruit salad with kiwi and orange, saladas with butter and jam, ham cheese and tomato sandwiches, dried mango and fresh cucumber.

30 July 2012

Monday morning!  What do I have in the fridge????

A wrap with mountain bread, avocado and smoked salmon, blood oranges, pumpkin rice balls and some fresh cucumber from the markets.

27 July 2012

Last day of the week and I am usually really tired when i make these lunchboxes as I often work late Thursday night.  Which means I often put things in their lunchbox that are forbidden like egg for Tyga and nuts all round...

So Lulu has the orange and kiwi fruit salad, saladas with butter and jam, a cheese stringer, cucumber, tomato, salami and olives.

Tyga has the same fruit salad, a "green bar" that we get from the markets with spinach an other healthy ingredients - but unfortunately nuts too - ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches, cucumber, olives and cut up pickled cucumber.  I came o pick him up and was in trouble for the nuts!

26 July 2012

Thursday means two lunchboxes for me; wish they both had the same taste so i could just do the same!

Lulu has mini lentil shepherds pies with sweet potato tops, blood orange, green capsicum and snow peas plus crackers with butter and jam.

Tyga has ham and cheese sandwiches, peeled and segmented oranges, olives and cornichons and a sausage roll.

25 July 2012

Some "rock n rolls" from the freezer with passionfruit pulp in a tub, a cheese stick, dried pineapple and some cucumber slices.  Not the most appetising of lunchboxes ever I must admit!

24 July 2012

Tuesday morning and yes I went to the shops yesterday!  So we have dinner leftover of crumbed fish with a tub of mayo plus a frozen mini sausage roll (which we now call rock and rolls) because Lulu had an early start at school.  Then some crackers with rosella jam and a ham and cheese sandwich plus the beetroot which she loved, and some peeled and segmented orange.  

For the beetroot I cut the ends off and peel it (with gloves on to save my hands getting pink), wrap it in foil  - can do more than one at a time - then bake in the oven for about an hour.  No oil, no fat, just a beautiful concentrated beetroot flavour.  And it will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a good few days.  My kids devour the stuff!

23 July 2012

Monday morning...what do I have in the fridge since I didn't go specifically to get lunch box food on the weekend!

Sandwich with smoked salmon and cream cheese, blood oranges cut up plus 2 left over strawberries, some roasted beetroot cut up - I have included a fork lying on the sandwich to use to eat the beetroot - and some cocktail frankfurts.

Sandwiches not such a success, but all else GONE!

20 July 2012

So of course the kiwi fruit went down well as you can see - featuring in both lunchboxes!  

Lulu has orange and kiwi pieces, a love heart sandwich with mortadella and ricotta, some salada crackers with rosella jam I picked up at the Good food Show last month, dried pineapple and cornichons, fresh cue and snow peas.

Tyga has kiwi and orange segments, a pirate sandwich of mortadella and ricotta (where's the bones mum???) plus snow pea "bones" from the skull and cross bones, cornichons and smoked olives top right and cucumber and cherry tomatoes bottom right.  Tyga also takes a recess box which I never photograph, which today has salada with rosella jam and some dried pineapple, mango and banana.

Happy weekend all!
