Top 14 of 2014

What a year it has been! Honey started solids, I hosted my first Linky Party and returned to casual work, and Miss M went to Kindergarten! Looking back there were so many fun lunches, and so many stories that went with them, that it was difficult to narrow the selection down to just 14. Well, I cheated and added a few extras as a bonus. I was surprised at my first draft list how many included cheese art and or nori cutting. I think I may have found a skill to develop for the new year :-)

So without any further ado, here are my favourite lunches from the year. . . did you favourite make the cut? Let me know in the comments below!


Frozen Elsa Lunch (although my Elsa Dash lunch almost pipped it)

Although these aren't lunches I had a tough time knocking them out of my Top 14, so here's a bonus for you:

Thank you for Loving your Lunch with me this year, I look forward to your company again for 2015!

Early Easter Bunny Lunch

For Miss M's last week at Kindergarten I was looking forward to packing all sorts of Christmas-yness into her lunches, instead she asked for an Easter bunny!

So I made my trusty old Ginger Bread Man bunny sandwich with sultana and black sesame seed details.

A cookie cutter helped to shape some rockmelon.

Rockmelon offcuts and a kiwi fruit 'Easter Egg'.

For snack I packed some rainbow carrots with a little lettuce and watered down ranch dressing in the cute little carrot sauce bottle.

There was also some yoghurt all packed in our Nude Food Movers.
