Faberge

Peter Carl Faberge's 166th Birthday.

Rice eggs, Zante currants, raisins goji berries, slivered almonds, some leftover turkey. Some plum sauce was used as "glue".

It's my birthday!

It's my birthday today and two out of three kids are sick, so just one gets a cool lunch while I stay home to take care of the sick ones.

My oldest gets to celebrate and think of me at lunch time today with this rice and turkey "cupcake" with  mashed potato "frosting" with a pea on top!

W00T!

Black beans, black refried beans heated, rice "cheese", peas, and Fork In The Road mini dogs.

Camping Trip

My oldest daughter is going on a camping trip with four other schools today, she is very excited, but nervous too! Here is a little camping lunch; rice and ground turkey, rice cheese tent and fire, broccoli. The cheese "logs" are from this new cheese from Heidi Ho Organics I found at Whole Foods, locally made right here in Portland, made from hazelnuts! Excited to see what the kids think of it.

Sunset

Since we are doing the beach and ocean theme, my son decided he wanted a night time/sunset scene for lunch, so this is what I came up with for that. I still had some blue rice so we were good to go. 

Nori for the dark ocean, rice cheese sun and stars, mustard reflection and sky. 

Tropical dreams

Tropics... 

All beef hot dog octopus catching some waves, sunflower seed beach, rice cheese starfish, with sides of fresh mango, oranges, pineapple and apples. 

Dreaming of the beach

Such lovely warm days are upon us... and I had a couple of friends that took their young ones and escaped to the beach for the afternoon!

Natural locally made food dye for the blue, slivered almond and nori for the flip-flops, nori for the birds, and a carrot sun. Sides of mango, carrots and apples.
