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.  

Ingredients:

crackers, salami, white cheese , cheddar cheese, yogurt, blue food coloring, edible google eyes, one cookie, nori, broccoli, smiley face potato fries, and mandarin orange.

Directions: 

1. cook  smiley face potato fries as directed and add to bento box.

2. print a clipart of the character Ernie faces. Cut is out and stick to orange using glue stick ONLY.  This wont run or leek into the orange and will be removed with peel before eating. 

3. Stir two drops of blue food coloring to yogurt. add edible eyes. Pro Tip: add eyes on the day child will eat lunch, not the day before. Afterward crumble cookie and place across yogurt creating a smile.

4.place fresh or cooked broccoli in container. Flatten a slice of bread. Cut out two eye shapes and use the crust as Oscar's eye brows. Use edible pin to create eye retina. 

5. Elmo- take white cheese, rub one drop of red food coloring on top an let dry. Place edible large google eyes. cutout small circle from yellow cheese to create nose. create a mouth using nori.

6. Big Bird- take yellow cheese, rub one drop of red food coloring on top an let dry. Place edible small google eyes. cutout bird beak from yellow cheese. Use a toothpick to make scratch on cheese to create feather like texture.

7. Abby- Cut a circle the same size as cracker using salami. Slice additional pieces to create hair. Place edible small google eyes. Cutout small circle from yellow cheese to create nose. create a mouth using nori.

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”.  As a teacher I make a point to introduce students to the true heritage of America. We are fortunate to live in a country where many cultures are celebrated (Wikipedia). This Bento box Was inspired by Eclectic Lamb. I researched online to find markings Native American markings and used it to write on sugar cookies.

Kitten and Mitten Lunch

The ancient Japanese tradition of packing lunch in a bento box, a decorative container with small compartments, has now become mainstream. We love bento box lunches because the compartments help control portion sizes and they are great for kids too.  However, creating these amazing lunches is not always so easy.

I never used nori before, but my grandchildren eat it all the time at their home. My bento box comes in already sized compartments and adding lettuce to surround characters was not easy. For this lunch it was easier not to include the lettuce t...
