Today I am featuring zebra lunches in celebration of the new addition of zebras at the Seneca Park Zoo. The Animals of the Savana expansion is beautiful. I visited it on Saturday morning.

Container: EasyLunchBoxes

Top Left: Zebra – apple (cut with a cookie cutter), melted chocolate piped with a ziplock bag, blueberries

Bottom Left: Pistachios

Right Side: Zebra – hot cooked Nishiki rice pressed into a cookie cutter with plastic wrap, black beans (I used my food processor to puree black beans with some olive oil, onion powder and a splash of lemon juice), then I piped the black beans in stripes with a Ziploc bag with a small tip cut off, assorted lettuce

My friend Carol ate this lunch on a day that we went on a Habitat garden tour.

I made this Zebra sandwich lunch for a nephew in 2012.
