Halloween Lunches

Halloween is right around the corner.  Im so excited to see all the lunch inspiration on instagram.  Here are some of my past halloweenie lunches. Let the fun begin!

Week 1

Someone asked me "how I find time to make cute bento lunches everyday.  You must have a lot of time." My answer is... when you enjoy something, you take the time to do it. You enjoy watching t.v. , then you make time to watch the episode. You like reading, you make time to have a moment with your novel. Well, I like packing lunch.   Any more questions?

Salami, raspberries, Auntie's Anne's pretzels bites, cheese melt, Trader's Joe's wild berry organic apple sauce.

Tuesdays

Heirloom tomatoes with ranch dressing, salami with mayo and mix greens, hummus, and pretzel crisp
