Don't be en"V"ous...

Today's bento was rather easy. I wish it was mine! As I was putting the lunch together, Ryan came into the kitchen and asked what letter today was. When I told him he said, "V...vanilla! Vanilla...ice cream!" Welllll, being the nice mama, I quickly tossed the Thermos into the freezer, hoping 10 minutes was enough to chill it sufficiently, then scooped in some Trader Joe's vanilla soy ice cream.

Ryan's
"V"
lunch:
side of
Veggie
Booty;
Thermos
of vanilla
ice
cream;
Valencia
oranges;
Viennese
carrots;
vegetable
fried
rice.

Sticking
strictly
to the
letter
of the day hasn't always yielded the prettiest food combinations, but today's looked really nice I think.
Tomorrow is friday, so I'll take a break before next week's final alphabet installment, the tricky last letters of W, X, Y & Z!

7:30am- smoothie: 2 strawberries, 1/4 cup black raspberries, 1/2 mango, 1/2 banana, liquid DHA, water.
10am- 1/2 an avocado.
12pm- carrot "chips" w/sprouted chick pea hummus; 10 olives.
2pm- 6 strawberries w/
walnut-cashew creme.
6pm- salad: romaine &
bib lettuces, tomato, red
onion, yellow bell pepper,
snow peas sprouts, shoyu.

Ryan had a friend over
after school, so I made
cupcakes and let them all decorate their own. I didn't want to be too jealous, so I put 6 frozen strawberries into a bowl and allowed them to thaw partially, then topped them with walnut-cashew creme. Delish.

Dinner was just a salad,
par for the course. I'll
admit that I'm already
imagining what pasta
awaits me when the 40
days are up!
