Sesame Street Lunchable

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street. In 2020, Sesame Street celebrated its 51st anniversary. Yup, that means 51 years of singing, dancing, rhyming, and learning ABCs and 123s with Big Bird and the gang. It's one of the few programs I can tell my grandchildren that I watched this as a little girl too. Over the years Sesame Street evolved with technology and community issues. Today I wanted this lunch to include all of our favorite Sesame Street characters.

Native American Heritage bento box

On August 3, 1990, President of the United States George H. W. Bush declared the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month , thereafter commonly referred to as Native American Heritage Month . The bill read in part that “the President has authorized and requested to call upon Federal, State and local Governments, groups and organizations and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities”.

Sometime kids can be overlooked when it comes to how Covid and quarantine has place stress on them. I like to infuse each day with special moments. This is the beauty of making bento lunch.

She loves ramen noodles, so while noodles cooked I added a drop of blue food coloring to the water. It created a much darker color than I originally expected. The noodles gave the p...

That’s ok with me. Don’t get me wrong I love a bit of sun, but as a homebody colder seasons calls for cozying up by the fire with a cup of coco listening to smooth Jazz. This week I went hiking in our local forest preserve and wanted to create something whimsical that reminded me of things observed during my walk. For this bento I printed forest animal clipart’s to add embellishments. You can laminate these animals cutout or use shipping tape of the front and back to protect image from moisture. Included in this lunch: Owl: made from rice crispy treats. The wings are made of cheese and I used frosting to decorate the owl's body. Acorn: I used a veggie cutter to create an acorns from tortilla. I sprinkle water at the top and patted in sugar and cinnamon to give more od an illusion....
