This was a super simple cheese-and-crackers lunch, which I put together in about 10 minutes from start ( hmmm, what do I feel like making today...) to finish ( snapping some photos).
I used an Easy Lunchbox , and in it there are raw veggies - cauliflower, carrots, and cucumber. I cut a section of cucumber in a checkerboard pattern, then I sliced almost all the way through each line of the grid so they are almost cut into slices ( hard to put into words - you'll just have to try to picture that!). That way they held together in a nice checkerboard design, but they were easy to pull apart to dip in ranch dressing and eat. Then I cut sections of a carrot to look like flowers when standing on end. I adore those purple carrots!
Also in this lunch are cantaloupe pieces cut to look like fall leaves. The scraps leftover from cutting them didn't go to waste - they're underneath 🙂
Then it was just a matter of slicing some cheese, adding some crackers ( and laughing cow cheese - you can never have enough cheese!) and rolling some ham slices and securing them with some flower picks.
Fun, simple, and healthy lunch!
Here's some of the things I used to make this lunch, and where you can buy them ( just click on the photos below)
* also included is a cloth napkin from my Etsy shop - I couldn't resist the co-ordinating fun flowers 🙂
