Love inspired lunches

I wanted to take a little break from the alphabet to fill Little S with love. I have started the countdown to Valentine's day with some love filled lunches.



Love filled lunch:






Main: a strawberry jelly sandwich cut into the shape of a heart with a heart window cut out to show the red jelly. The word LOVE is spelled out in Orange beet chocolate cookies.

Sides: freeze dried strawberry slices to look like hearts, I diced up a apple kale rice bar and placed the pieces into a pink silicone muffin cup, and added some dried pea pods.


Two Hearts one lunch  inspired lunch






Main: Dual hearts - one cut from a breaded chicken breast using a large heart cookie cutter, and the other made with ketchup for dipping.

Sides: Chili lime mini tortilla chips, and a fruit salad of apple, apricot, and cranberry.



Cutie Pie Lunch




Main: A small tortilla folded in half and heated with cheese and taco seasoning inside to make a quesadilla. I then cut out the side by side hearts with a cookie cutter. I colored the cut out with food coloring (1 drop red and 3 drops of water) applying it with a wet Q-tip. (if you use a wet cotton swab the fibers will not get on the food). I placed the hearts back into the quesadilla and trimmed the edges so it would fit inside the container. I added organic Lemon Broccoli cookies to spell QT (cutie) PIE.

Sides: freeze dried strawberry slices, dried pea pods, and a pink silicone cup of popcorn.





There are only 3 lunches this week because we did have a few other things we celebrated in between all the love inspired lunches.
