1 Bento #245 - Garlic Potatoes & Chicken Sausage

Another Trader Joe's lunch in an Easy Lunchbox.  This is their really delish garlic potatoes in Parmesan sauce and sauteed, sliced spicy Italian sausage.  I cook the potatoes in a skillet with a little olive oil until they are crispy on the outside.  Yum!

Accompanying the potatoes is half a sliced sweet red bell pepper and some blackberries.  Next to it is the day's snack which is an apple-carrot Crusher and organic mini peanut butter crackers.

5 Bento #95 - Blackberries & Sugar Snap Peas

First of all, someone needs to take me out of the running for Mother of the Year (ha!) after this morning.  First [half] day of Pre-K, right?  I'm so frazzled about this!  We left at last year's normal time to get to school on time.  Well, Cobb County decided to resume road work on the road we take to school.  Hello Mr. Flag Man and your giant work trucks blocking the road!  And every single traffic light.  Folks, we weren't two or three minutes late.  We were eleven minutes late.  ELEVEN.  Carpool was totally over and I had to walk her in myself.  Talk about embarrassing.  But E didn't even notice, she's old hat at the whole going to school thing.  She had a great day, by the way.  I hid out at my mother-in-law's house reading until it was time to pick her up.  *smacks head*

So, today's snack - again, not a bento, but a snack plate. The snap peas are among her favorites.
