Contents:  raspberry vinegarette dressing for salad, a small square of chocolate zucchini cake, tomatoes, green peppers and carrots, spinach salad with pecans and dried cranberries, a halved/pitted plum and some chocolate chips.

Sophie's lunch (on the left):  avocado honey dip with honey wheat pretzels, cucumber "sticks", corn sheets and tomatoes, cottage cheese, sliced peaches and chocolate raisins.
Will's lunch (on the right):  avocado honey dip with honey wheat pretzels, ham 'n cheese kabob, cucumber stickes, tomatoes and corn sheets, halved plum and chocolate pretzels.

This was Sophie's helper day so I packed my own lunch and ate with Sophie after school.  It brings me ridiculous amounts of happiness to watch my kids take thrill in food I prepare for them.  And there's something about the PlanetBox that makes it seem like they're unwrapping a gift to find their food.  Her face lit up when she lifted the lid and, of course, I was so pleased to witness her reaction.





Wednesday:
Contents:  peaches from Grandma's trees, tomatoes from our garden, peanut butter banana and honey roll ups, raisins, popcorn, a spinach cake muffin and chocolate chips.

Thursday:
Contents:  2 fruit and veggie muffins, sweet beet cookies and cucumber sticks, peaches and red pepper, fruit and seed bar, and a chunk of cheese.
