Alphabet Inspired Lunches - Week L

This week we are celebrating the letter L and Earth Day falls during the week so there will be a Earth Day lunch as well.




Day 1 week L:  L = Ladybug



The ladybugs are jumbo strawberries cut in half with blueberry dots and heads, Steak fries, and steak bites with ranch for dipping.




Earth Day 2014



The Earth is a waffle water color painted with food coloring to show continents in normal waffle color and water in Blue. M&M's from Easter are the eyes, and a strawberry piece for the mouth.  EARTH is spelled in organic veggie cookies (from the random letters that come in the boxes). There is a salad of pear and strawberries, carrots, and the Earth's animals are represented with animal crackers.




Day 2 Week L: L= Lion Love



Today little S has a cheese and tortilla lion - I used a circle cutter to cut the tortilla into a round for his face, and used a glass that was slightly larger to cut the circle out of cheese for his mane. I then used a knife to cutt he notches to represent fur and added a few of the pieces I removed from the edges for his bangs. I drew the face on with food coloring using a toothpick that I dipped into the color. He also has large strawberries that were decorated with a pink heart pick, and steak bites decorated with a red heart pick, and a few baby carrots.



Day 3 Week L: L = Light bulb




Today's lunch is a tortilla with cheese (it was a hit the day before) cut into the shape of a light bulb with the screw in part cut from a piece of salami and painted with food color marker to show the curves. The bulb is lit because of an additional piece of cheese that was cut to the size and decorated with the GE logo using food color and a Q-Tip. Also for lunch is corn chips and strawberries.



Day 4 Week L  L= Leis, lollipop and the letter for the refrigerator.



The Leis is mango and apple flowers alternating with the wooden letter L for the refrigerator for completing week L. He also has cheeseballs, carrots, a lollipop from Easter, and Ham rolls.
