feeling like being honest with you, dear reader.

I am. I am lazy. Sometimes I think I may do all this blogging stuff just so I don't have to fold laundry. Or clean out my car. Or unload the dishwasher. Or feed the dog. Please don't tell the Hubs. Don't tell him that I spray Lysol around just before he gets home, either. He thinks I've been cleaning...(insert evil snicker here).

If you're lazy, I mean awesome, like I am...this is the lunch for you. I made spaghetti for dinner last night and we had a lot of leftover noodles, but no more sauce.  How about a lazy mom leftover makeover?  Take the noodles, squeeze on the ranch dressing, chop up some cold cuts, chuck in some frozen peas and top with grated parmesean cheese. A Babybel cheese, sugar snap peas with a side of ranch and some crunchy mini toast slices adorn their lunches. I say lazy, they say "YUM!"

This is a ten minutes or less lunch for sure. And I made two lunches in that little time. Takes longer to clean up the kitchen. Which I still have to do...but I'd rather force you to have more words to read. Check out some more lazy, I mean quick, lunches over at Bentos on the Bayou 15 Minute Fridays.  Each Friday there's a post that bloggers can link their quick lunches to...tons of awesome ideas. 

I swear...EasyLunchboxes and PlanetBox make these lazy lunches look spectacular.  Here's the same lunch as above in a PlanetBox Shuttle:

feeling a little mismatched

Sometimes the girls get a bit bored with the whole wheat breads often used in their lunches. I do want to try and keep the breads healthier, but white bread is just so freaking good. Instead of going all the way and making an awesome white bread sandwich, I made a mismatched one with both wheat and white. Plus, it looks nice, right?  

(Thanks to Bentos on the Bayou for the great little food picks!  We love them!)

Slicing the bread diagonally and then flipping two pieces over makes it look a little less boring.

They've been loving a leaf of butter lettuce in their sandwiches lately, too...which is making this mom a little happy. They've got turkey, cheese and lettuce on their sammies, apple straws from Trader Joes, and baby dill pickles. The pickles are wrapped in cellophane to keep their juices from contaminating the other foods.  The EasyLunchboxes are not leakproof, folks!

This lunch was quickly made... check out more super quick lunches over at 15 Minute Fridays with Bentos on the Bayou! Click the frog above.

feeling a little quick

It's another 15 Minute Friday! I made a Vine (short, clipped video) of this lunch too...the ten, ok, almost eleven minutes it took to make this lunch included deciding what to make, finding things, and almost all of the clean up. The photos and blogging took me about twenty minutes total. It really doesn't take all that long to do, provided you're prepared and have supplies to make the cutes!

The waffles are frozen ones, cut in half and smeared with strawberry cream cheese. They'll thaw by lunchtime! There's pretzels, carrots, fresh pineapple (already cut up), ranch dressing and raisins (in one lunch). The added flair is for the fourth grader, the sixth grader is probably going to scoff at the silicone cup in hers. Oh well. Wouldn't want carrots to get on the waffle, now would we? I also included a yogurt tube from Chobani Champions. They sent me a case because I'm so clever and I won a contest on their instagram page.

Check out some more fifteen minute or less lunches over at Bentos on the Bayou. I love this gig!

I got all of the flair, except for the pie cups, at AllThingsforSale.
