So, living in Northwestern Ontario, Canada we see some pretty rigid temperatures in winter time. Many from the South wonder just HOW we survive. Well, this year it has been VERY unseasonably mild and SO nice to enjoy.....but, we knew that mother nature was peeking around the corner laughing at us and that Jack Frost WOULD catch us sooner or later......well, he has hit! It was -30 last night when I got home from my soccer game (indoor people, I'm not nuts!), I thought it was appropriate to have a winter themed lunch for my girl to eat. But, had to throw in some hope for warmth at the same time. So, I came up with one box depicting winter time and then one box is foreshadowing to Spring time (which we hope is right around the corner!).
Spring box: Ants on a log with celery and cheese with raisins, a Babybel ladybug, and of course some spring cucumber and pepper flowers.
Winter box: Snowflake ham sandwich, a blueberry nutrigrain cereal bar, mixed fruit. The little snowflakes are actually cupcake toppers and are completely edible in vanilla and blueberry flavor. You can find them in the baking section for the more specialized stores
Hope the winter weather isn't too harsh where you are, and that you can find some fun and warmth in some fun lunches for the kids!
