Eclectic Lamb

I made this snack lunch for my friend Renae’s daughter Elizabeth. It was a bonus cute meal since I knew she would not like the soup everyone else had for lunch that day. I was happy to make it for her.

Container: ELB Snack Boxes

I made this ghost lunch for myself on a day that I made other rice lunches and wanted an easy theme for myself.

Top Right: Walnuts

Bottom Right: Ghosts – apple (cut with a cookie cutter and dipped in water with lemon to prevent browning), blueberries

I made this meal for myself to eat at work. I don’t often make themed meals just for me but I enjoy it.

Left Side: Maple Leaf – polenta made with broth and cornmeal (stir 1/2 cup cornmeal into 1 cup of vegetable broth, heat at medium-low heat while stirring, when it becomes a ball and is somewhat firm, remove from heat and spread onto a plate at the desired thickness for your cookie cutter. When cool, cut with a cookie cutter), Spanish Garbanzo Beans

Top Right: Macadamia nuts

Bottom Right: Maple Leaves – apple (cut with a cookie cutter), cinnamon

I made this meal for my Mom at her Lake House. The owl has extra indentations since it was difficult to release the cheese out of the cookie cutter but my Mom did not complain. She enjoys my themed lunches.
