Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star ... Fruit

It's amazing how one little change can make a boring lunch look suddenly magical.

RED: Star Fruit
(fruit)

How FUN is a fruit shaped like a star?! And it's so bright and juicy! I took a normal hum drum lunch and gave it some edible bling by throwing in some star power! Rock 'n' roll!

Note: Lightly sprinkle with sugar or drizzle with honey as this isn't the sweetest fruit in the world. It's got a good flavor, but it's not red grapes or plums. The girls really like it with sugar, so it's kind of a 'mulligan' fruit dish - but it's not a regular lunch item, so once in a while won't kill 'em. :)

GREEN: Sun Chips
(carb)

YELLOW: Celery & Ranch Dip
(veggie, dairy)

PURPLE: Turkey Sandwich w/American Cheese
(carb, protein, dairy)

  1. This is wonderful! I love kids lunches, too, and want to design some special lunchboxes that would probably be preferred by adults, but we'll see. Thanks for your ideas for great lunches!!
