Gobble Gobble!

There’s a huge flock of wild turkeys that wander about in our yard every fall. They’re so funny to watch – sometimes they take dust baths, sometimes they flap their wings and hop around, make you wait to drive down the driveway, and are just all around good fun.

The wild turkey flock is about 25 strong…I couldn’t get that many into today’s lunch, but I did pack it with turkeys, turkeys and more turkeys!

In our Bentgo Kids box:
Turkey Sandwiches on top of Freeze Dried Blueberries
Baby Carrots
Turkey Shaped Apple Slices
Hard Boiled Egg with a Turkey drawn on with food markers in an orange silicone cup
Annie’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites
Bite Sized Cheese with a Turkey Pick
Packed with a Lunchbox Love Thanksgiving Note – I didn’t know turkeys sleep in trees, did you?

Going Nutty! Bento

We’ve been having a fantastic run of fall weather, but it’s slowly getting colder and we’re all getting ready for winter to arrive – including the animals! Today’s bento lunch was inspired by watching the squirrels in our yard go nuts gathering acorns.

In our PlanetBox Launch:
Squirrel and Acorn Sandwiches, accented with a food marker
Mini Marshmallows in a Miniature Silicone Cup topped with an Acorn Cupcake Ring
Freeze Dried Strawberries surrounding the sandwiches
Babybel Cheese with an Acorn Cupcake Ring
Salami, rolled up and placed on a Leaf Pick
Blueberries on Leaf Picks in a Rectangular Silicone Cup
Apples, cut into Leaf Shapes and dusted with cinnamon to prevent browning, in a Rectangular Silicone Cup
Golden Raisins, tucked around the rectangular silicone cups

I had a little less time in the morning than usual, so I ended up putting together a quick fall themed lunch in our Bentgo Kids box.
