Sports Team Day

The girls are having a Say No To Drugs Spirit Week this week. Tomorrow is "wear your favorite sports team jersey or colors".  We are huge Pittsburgh fans all around, so that's what inspired our lunch.
Our main entree is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  We used a Hello Kitty cookie cutter and tried to create some black and gold fans.  I think they look a little more like polar bears but, fun nonetheless.

Our vegetable side is yellow peppers and cucumber slices with a Pittsburgh Steelers pick.

Our fruit side is strawberries, raspberries and pomegranates with a Pittsburgh Pirates pick.

Finally, our dairy/dessert is vanilla yogurt with a Pittsburgh Penguins pick.

Monday After a Super Bowl Loss

Our beloved Steelers fought a good fight but in the end, we lost the Super Bowl.  It was an awesome game and the better team won because they had less turnovers and scored a lot of points.  Great job black and gold, we are still SO proud to be members of the Steelers nation.

Some of the local schools have a delay in the morning so that everyone can recover from the game but unfortunately, Molly doesn't.  Just another Monday in Pittsburgh, which means that we have our Monday lunch.
Our main entrée is the typical Monday, pepperoni pizza.  Only, we made this pizza ourselves.  Trader Joe's makes some really yummy pizza dough and sells it in the refrigerated section.  We used this to make some mini pizzas.  We also used Trader Joe's pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni.

Our veggie side is a few slices of red pepper.  Crunchy and flavorful, these vegetables are loaded with vitamin C and beta carotene.

Our fruit side is strawberries and a clementine.  Strawberries and citrus complement each other so nicely because of the sweet/tart factor.

Finally, our dairy/dessert is Dannon Light and Fit vanilla yogurt.  Hopefully this will be enough sweetness after so many goodies from our super bowl party.  ☺

Steelers Super Bowl Lunch!

Well, this is it, the last school day before the Super Bowl!!  Our whole family is really big into football and has been for generations on end.  Being from Pittsburgh makes us bleed black and gold for our Steelers.  Tomorrow is Steelers Day at Molly's school and her lunch will going right along with the theme.  HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!
Our main entrée is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole grain bread.  We used a football shaped cookie cutter for the main sandwich and a hypocycloid (yeah, I had to look that one up) micro cookie cutter to make the Steelers logo.  Please notice that there are *7* total hypocycloid sandwiches, for the Steelers 7th Super Bowl Win!


Our vegetable side is cucumber sticks.  A nice and refreshing side with a great crunch.


Our fruit side is fresh strawberries.  Molly really likes strawberries and their sweet and slightly tart flavor are a great compliment to her lunch.


Finally, IT'S FUN FRIDAY!!  Not just any Fun Friday...Steelers Fun Friday!  Molly's special dessert is 2 cookies that are Steelers themed.  The Terrible Towel is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers tradition so we had to make a cookie to represent the Steelers staple.  The other cookie is a chocolate football with three strategically colored and placed mini M&Ms that represent the hypocycloids on the Steelers logo.  


Happy Super Bowl Weekend!  GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!
