Count down to Valentine's Day

During the week of Valentine's Day I managed to sneak in a few more love inspired lunches and a couple of left overs.


Left over Monday:





Main: shredded chicken nachos - shredded chicken taco meat and Monterrey Jack cheese were heated atop corn chips. Sides: diced cranberry and pears, and a package of crispy chews purple berry carrot flavor. 




My heart:


Main: Pressed and cut out Mac and Cheese heart. The men had mac and cheese with their dinner last night (Mommy doesn't eat grain) and the left overs were placed into a plastic wrap lined pan. Fold the plastic wrap over to completely seal in the mac and cheese then add cans of whatever you have in your cabinet to press it down and refrigerate. The next day you have a solid block of Mac and Cheese that you can cut with cookie cutters (plan for the thickness of your cutter with the size of the pan you press it into). I have a deep heart cookie cutter and used that to make this heart shaped mac and cheese patty. I added a mini silicone cup of baby carrots like cupids arrows waiting to pierce a heart. Sides: dehydrated strawberries, and a package of crispy chews purple berry carrot flavor.





SWAK - Sealed with a Kiss lunch





Main: A open faced (lipped) strawberry jam sandwich free hand shaped into a set of lips. SWAK spelled with lemon broccoli cookies. Sides: baby carrots, diced Kiwi, berry beet rice cakes and a treat of M&M's. 




Love you Bunches inspired lunch:



Main: summer sausage and cheddar cheese cut into hearts, a mini silicone cup of roasted peanuts and sunflower seeds. Sides: dehydrated strawberries and apples on heart skewers, Blueberry filled cereal. 






Valentines Day:




Main: Two heart open faced jam sandwiches, a silicone cup of valentine colored M&M's. Sides: fresh strawberries and coconut, Greek Yogurt drizzled berry popcorn.
