Who doesn't love Snoopy at Christmas? Whether you watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, read Peanuts, or just enjoy everything Snoopy, this can be a fun and unexpected lunch! Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang are iconic and can make a great holiday recipe whether it's in a lunchbox or a snack during Christmas break.

A Festive Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board Recipe for the Holidays

Charcuterie boards are some of the easiest meals to assemble and tastiest experiences you can have during the holidays. On every food board, you can provide enough variety to satisfy the pickiest kid and the most discerning palate in every family. This "Charcute-Tree" is no different. The trick is to start with some festive red or green foods which is why I used Red Sun Farms Tomatoes on the Vine to provide the seasonal flair.

 How to Make a Thanksgiving Turkey School Lunch

Thanksgiving is absolutely one of the most delicious meals of the year. Once those leaves start to turn, I start dreaming of that deep-fried turkey goodness. So in preparation for getting on those stretchy pants, I always have to make a fun turkey-themed lunch or two for my kids. This year is no different, so here is a food art turkey that ironically contains no turkey. Although it could. The meat is up to you!

Fall Football School Lunch Recipe

Monday, November 1, 2021

 Fall Football Lunch Recipe

Nothing says fall like football! We just finished up both of my sons' youth football leagues and my daughter is just about done with her first season with the high school marching band, which plays every Friday night at games. I'm also knee-deep in my fantasy football leagues, one of which I'm barely still alive in but stubbornly hanging on. 

I haven't even mentioned watching NFL games yet. We live in Oklahoma which means people live and die with OU and OSU but we are more into the Seattle Seahawks. So yeah, you can say football is a big deal in our house. This is why it is time to break out the football lunch. This lunch features football sandwiches, fall-themed chips and apples, and some pumpkin-shaped desserts. I believe we bought all of these fall-themed sides at Trader Joe's, but you can find similar ones at different stores. Keep reading for the rest of the directions.

I don't think that you can ever make too many The Nightmare Before Christmas recipes in the time period leading up to Halloween and finishing at Christmas. So go crazy.

Disney Halloween Mickey Mouse Ears Lunch Recipes

Disney Halloween Mickey Mouse Ears Lunch Recipes

Halloween at Disneyland is amazing and if you've never been, I highly recommend it. The Oogie Boogie Bash is well worth the price. We were able to go a few years ago and made a ton of forever memories. However, whether we can visit Disney for Halloween or not, it's always fun to have a Disney Halloween lunch. Plus you only have to travel to the store to pick up the groceries, not all the way to southern California!

I made three different Mickey Ears Halloween sandwiches for my three kids but it also gives you options on what sandwich to make for your kids. Would they choose Frankenstein? The Mummy? or Maybe a Jack-o-Lantern? Keep reading to find out how to make them all!

The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington Food Art Lunch Recipe

Since The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of our favorite Halloween/Christmas movies, we have to do at least one Jack Skellington lunch recipe every year. This one is pretty simple because I was short on time. I think it would be fun for any kid that loves this movie!

Side note, I love all of the Halloween-themed snacks and treats in the stores right now. They make creating fun Halloween recipes really easy! I found these gummy vampire teeth at Target and they are pretty tasty. I might have had to sample one when I was making this lunch. I can neither confirm nor deny that. But while you figure that you, here is how to assemble this Halloween food art lunch for your kids. 

How to Make a Fall Winnie-The-Pooh Food Art Pizza School Lunch

Monday, September 20, 2021

How to Make a Fall Winnie-The-Pooh Food Art Pizza School Lunch

Why does fall always remind me of Winnie-the-Pooh? I think it's the idea of a blustery day with fallen leaves blowing in a gust of wind. Or maybe it's Pooh with his red balloon or head stuck in a honey pot muttering, "Oh bother." Whatever the adventure in the Hundred Acre Wood, it always puts a smile on my face and takes me back to my childhood. This is why I love to make this simple Winnie-the-Pooh pizza for my kids because maybe it will put a smile on their faces also. 

Whoever your favorite character from the stories is, Pooh Bear is probably near the top. His lovable innocence and knack for getting himself into tight spots always leaves every reader saying, "silly old bear." If you think your kids will love an easy school lunch based on these books, movies, and T.V. shows, my directions are below.

How to Make a Musical Instrument School Lunch

How to Make a Musical Instrument School Lunch

Do your kids play a musical instrument? My daughter started out playing the flute in sixth grade, then in seventh grade, she switched to the saxophone. She has been playing it ever since and loves it. In fact, this year as a freshman in high school she started marching band. How come no one told my wife and me that this takes as much of a time commitment as being on the football team? We love watching her play though and now my son is in the sixth grade playing the trumpet. Because of this, I figured it was definitely time to make a musical instrument lunch!

 Roblox School Lunch Recipe Ideas!

I have a confession. I don't know much about Roblox. Most of what I know comes from what my sons tell me because they want to play it any chance that they get. Mostly they just play with their cousins. So this lunch took quite a bit of Google homework to accomplish. It actually might have taken longer to research Roblox characters and items than actually making the lunch!

 How to Make a Marvel Loki From Disney+ Lunch!

My family has been going non-stop lately. However, one thing that we've made some time for is watching Loki on Disney+. I'm not saying that we watched it every week, we definitely fell behind, but we made sure to finish the season because it was so good! It was definitely full of twists and turns and my kids were begging for it every week. Since back-to-school time is here, I knew I had to make them a fun Loki food art lunch to celebrate our favorite series of the summer. 

Loki is probably their favorite Marvel villain. Wait, is he still a villain? I guess we will have to see in season two. You have probably noticed by now that this lunch isn't Tom Hiddleston who plays Loki. This lunch features one of our favorite variants...Alligator Loki! This Loki variant was a hilarious surprise and a character that I hope returns. But until then, you will have to make the alligator sandwich for your kids. Here is how to do it.

How to Make a Transformers Autobot Sandwich!

When I was growing up, there wasn't a show or a toy that I enjoyed more than Transformers. The idea that a car, plane, or boombox could turn into a robot ready for battle was pretty much the coolest thing imaginable. My friends and I would play with our Transformers robots for hours on end. One of my favorite Transformers robots that I owned was the Dinobot leader Grimlock, but of course, Soundwave and his cassette tape Decepticons were hard to beat. The ultimate dream was always to collect every Destructicon to build the mighty Devastator!

How to Make a Transformers Autobot Sandwich!

While I have passed on my love of Transformers to my kids, we have never taken the opportunity to watch the animated series together until now. We have obviously taken Bumblebee into battle and had imaginary clashes over Cybertron on the living room floor. However, there is something about watching the show together that helps the story come to life. That is why I'm celebrating the new Transformers Father's Day playlist on YouTube with an Autobots sandwich recipe!

 How to Make a Despicable Me Banana Minions Lunch Recipe!

What kid doesn't like Minions? I feel like these characters from Despicable Me have morphed from cute sidekicks to timeless characters that will be loved by generations. This is why my youngest to my oldest all love these creatures. Not to mention that Gru wouldn't be able to do half the stuff he does without them! This is why I had to make them into a lunch again. 

Bananas are of course the perfect base for this lunch since Minions are obsessed with them anyway. I paired this with a teddy bear sandwich shaped like the Minions' favorite stuffed animal and also a blue and yellow treat. It's also fun to include some random stickers to complete the look.

My family has been loving Falcon and The Winter Soldier on Disney+! Of course, we have been loving these Avengers superheroes all along in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The problem with Wandavision ending was that we were going to be without our beloved Marvel superhero shows. Then this show came along to fill our time and we aren't complaining. The only problem is that we are a little behind but don't tell anyone, we will catch up soon!

A Beverley Cleary The Mouse and The Motorcycle Food Art Lunch Recipe

 If you talk to my family about children's books for any length of time, you won't get too far into the conversation without bringing up multiple Beverley Cleary books. She impacted my wife and me, as well as our kids, with her timeless characters such as Henry Huggins, Ramona and Beezus, and more. My personal favorite story of hers was The Mouse and The Motorcycle. I read it to my kids as soon as they were old enough. 

I still remember sitting in my classroom in elementary school and reading this book for the first time. I was so engrossed in the story that I tuned out everything else around me and thirty minutes later was startled back to reality by a noise. I wanted to be like Keith and have my own mouse named Ralph who could drive toy motorcycles around. What kid wouldn't dream of this? 

My family was saddened by her passing but in honor of Beverley Cleary's life, I made my son a Ralph S. Mouse The Mouse and The Motorcycle lunch. Can you spot the references to the book in this lunchbox?

I baked this recipe in an air fryer but you can probably make them in an oven as well. The secret to these chocolate Easter egg croissant bombs is to make sure that whatever egg you use is completely frozen. I put mine in overnight but they might be frozen enough in a few hours. If you don't freeze them, they will melt and ooze out all over. Now to show you how to easily make these.

 How to Make a Shamrock Quesadilla and Rainbow Sushi St. Patrick's Day Lunch Recipe

If you're mixing cuisines in your kid's lunch, why not do it on St. Patrick's Day? I decided to make a Shamrock quesadilla using heart cookie cutters but I also wanted to try to make sushi. So it made perfect sense to make Mexican food and Japanese food for a lunch on an Irish holiday, right?! Here is how I made these food art recipes for my kids.

Side note, I'm terrible at rolling sushi. I'm sure many of you out there can do a much better job than I did here. I tried to make a rainbow-themed roll which was tasty but I guess I need more practice. Maybe I should watch more YouTube videos on the topic as well. I also used to be really bad at cutting out hearts but then I just bought heart cookie cutters to make my life easier!

Every year I try and make a LEGO lunch for my kids that has a twist on it. I've done frozen yogurt bricks, a few LEGO Movie lunches with Wyldstyle and Emmett, and a few others.
