Halloween is just around the corner and every parent needs an easy school lunch idea to celebrate, right? Well, this recipe will be short and spooky for you so you can get back to planning your parties and trick-or-treating.
Frankenstein is a fun monster to make because he is super simple and easily recognizable. Also, one of the great things about Halloween is that there are so many snacks to include in the lunch that are premade for you from the grocery store.
Ever since I was a kid I have always been interested in the story of Pinocchio. I remember reading books about it and of course watching the animated movie as a child. From Jiminy Cricket to being swallowed by a whale (or monstrous fish), all of the characters were fascinating. Yes, I even like the ride in Fantasyland at Disneyland and Disney World. Don't get me wrong, it's not my favorite Disney movie, but I think it is underrated.
Football season is here. School is here. For our family, it was time to combine the two into this lunch! My son is very excited to play football for his school and is also very into the NFL. We won't talk about the fact that he cheers for the wrong team. We are a Seattle Seahawks house, I don't know what happened with him and his love for the 49ers.
How about some Crocs-sants for lunch? Any time I can mix food art with a dad joke, I'm up for the challenge. In this case, my kids love Crocs so I thought why not make some Crocssants? I saw a meme for it recently and I thought I would incorporate it into a lunch for the school year!
What is your family's view on Crocs? It took awhile for my wife to warm up to them, and I'm still not sure she has, but I think they're comfortable and my boys wear theirs everywhere. My daughter also tries to steal my son's because she doesn't have her own pair. What's up with kids wearing socks with Crocs though? I don't get that trend. The Crocs Jibbitz are kind of cool though. Those are the "charms" that you can pin to the top. So here is how I created this lunch and how you can too.
This school year is in full swing and our family is always looking for easy and fun school lunch ideas. What parents aren't looking for easy family-friendly food recipes, right? We have been devouring Darling Minneolas lately so I thought I would make them the tasty centerpiece of this owl food art school lunch.
Darling Minneolas are a juicy hybrid that combines the taste of a grapefruit and the sweetness of a tangerine! How incredible is that? They can be used in any number of ways such as in a school lunch, added to baked goods as a natural sweetner, zested and added to pancakes, or blended for a morning smoothie. You can find them at your local grocery store in the produce section. To make this owl lunch, follow the directions below!
