On most mornings my creative space is at my kitchen bench. Lunches are not my forte. I can't handle eating boring sandwiches, so I try and get a little inventive so I can enjoy my lunch and not be tempted to eat out most days.
A couple of years ago I got some Fit & Fresh containers - one a bento-style lunchbox, and the other a salad container. They come with ice packs which was handy when I rode my bike to work in the hot weather. Earlier this year I discovered a Flickr group for not only photographing your Fit & Fresh lunches, but all lunches! So exciting to see what people take to work for lunch ... although maybe that's just me. So most mornings I photograph my lunch and add it to the groups, because I'm a bit weird like that.
For more!
Edited to add - these are not kids' lunches. They're for me! I don't feed my children anything ... mainly because I don't have any.
Wow you make a really pretty lunch! I usually just take vegemite ryvitas and a banana to work.... probably not photo worthy.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Can you see the change of seasons and moods in your lunch when you see them together?
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should start packing my lunch... all yours look much more tasty than what I usually throw together at noon!
ReplyDeleteLooks Delish!
ReplyDeleteOk that does seem a little weird! But I can see I could get into something like that. What a great way to keep inspired about making your lunch.
ReplyDeleteI love this sort of creativity & I love the fact that there are people documenting it.
ReplyDeleteI think this is great! And inspiring me to put some thought into my lunches again.
ReplyDeleteSo organised! and so well fed! and ...I need to see this group- I am so low on lunch inspiration-this looks like just what I need to study!Well done you!
ReplyDeleteAnnamaria ;)
At first I thought you had about 24 children and you were getting school lunches organised! I was feeling pretty deflated about my own kids lunchboxes but hey! It's your lunch! Looks beautiful, a lovely mosaic of colourful food xo
ReplyDeletethat's really cool! bet you get lots of ideas from there too. i'm with you, not really a sandwich girl either, this all looks yum!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - put a creative spin on making lunches! Not sure how long I could stay motivated and creative...sure to revert back to the wholemeal nutella special. (that's what they ask for!)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was that good and making my lunch, mine usually consists of a big handful of lettuce leaves in a container and a can of tuna - so uninspired!
ReplyDeleteGee thanks for all that , I'm going to feel guilty for the rest of the day thinking oF the lunches I made for my kids this morning , nah not really , lol !!
ReplyDeleteNever, ever have I seen a creative space contained within...um...plastic containers. And they all look so appealing! I commend you your healthy eating too :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I think this is fabulous! They look so wonderful and all together like that it's like an artspiece! Great space :) K
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of grapes and mandarines... suppose they're not too sticky and easy to pop. Looking yummy. I feel like a nice piece of fruit now. xo m.
ReplyDeleteHey! You're making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI eat lunch at home every day, but yours look way better than mine. ;)
How cool! I've just made a quick run to the shops to buy the ingredients for my lunch - it's cool indulgence all the way with a roll, prawns, avocado and green! Mmmmm - perfect for this stinking day!
ReplyDeletewow, i am so impressed. those lunches look amazing. i feel like a very bad mother now. will have to lift my game
ReplyDeleteWow I want lunches like that...It seems I am quite the opposite. Always scrounging for bits and pieces in the fridge. While making sure everyone else in the house is good to go...YUM
ReplyDeletei also have those Fiot & Fresh containers, got mine at Spotlight. that ice pack is fantastic. Would you be interested in a catering job in Adelaide... just for me that is. I love yummy lunches!!! I'm really lazy in the monring and usually have a can of spaghetti with toast whipped out of the cupboard. Not inventive at all :(
ReplyDeleteYummo - great inspiration to jazz up my luchbox! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! Can you come make lunch for me?? You make a packed lunch look great!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Do you take 'lunch orders'.Surely I am not too far away! Peta
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea taking photos of your packed lunches. Love it!
ReplyDeleteoooh! your lunches look so nice! i'm way to lazy for lunch packing so regularly! xo
ReplyDeleteThis makes me feel guilty that I buy my lunch when I'm working in the studo. You're excused for not doing your homework until you get your overlocker fixed :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the most creativeness I have seen this week!! Healthy and colourful... I have some new ideas for our lunches now...YAY...
ReplyDeletexo Steph
Very Creative indeed. I wish I ate that healthy!
ReplyDeleteYum!! What a fantastic place to visit for inspiration when lunch gets desperate (which happens often around here).
