Be Mine
Lunchbox Valentines made with organic whole wheat crust and filled with either ricotta cheese, cinnamon, and thinly sliced organic apples or organic butternut squash custard; mixed organic greens; Organic Valley raw cheddar slices; and 4 candy hearts (the mixed greens and butternut squash are from Full Belly Farm).
waste generated: square of unbleached parchment paper
I'm a Mom of three and a self proclaimed foodie and environmentalist with an ambitious quest to get my children to eat and enjoy something slightly more nutritious than the typical meal served in a school cafeteria or fast food restaurant.
Ideally, this lunch would generate no waste and would be prepared using foods that are grown or raised locally. Also, it would prepare and pack itself.
I was inspired to start this blog once I was done grieving for the old Vegan Lunchbox Blog. My most favorite blog of all time. I do not claim to have the ingenuity of Jennifer McCann (Vegan Lunchbox), nor do my children have such adventurous tastes, but I plod on, in my own quite-a-bit-better-than-a-lunchable-way.
