More Kali lunches

Raspberries, turkey roll, sugar cookie (recipe on this blog) and flower & heart rice balls

Want to know how I made the rice balls?

I bought this cool thing on amazon.com

you cook the rice, scoops into little shape cups & press down with lid.

Then just push the little shapes out!

The kids love them.

Mini ham sandwiches, sunflower seeds, carrots & cheese lions.

Kali's lunch

With Kali starting Kindergarten this year and me being very anti-cafeteria food I have been getting creative with her lunches. I even found a great blog called Another Lunch with fun ideas. Here are a few of Kali's lunches from last week.

Cheese giraffes & an elephant, crackers, carrots, a ham roll, grapes and candy corn for dessert.

Grapes again, cheese bears, crackers, turkey dog slices & craisins.
These lunch are super cheap, easy to make and she loves them & is always excited to see what will be in her lunch :)
